Description:
------------
Running recursive mkdir fails when there is a ".." directory in the path, and a symbolic link is present:
mkdir('a/d/../e',0755,true);
The problem is that it is is expanding the path string in place instead of following the physical filesystem. After it traverses into a/d, the ".." directory actually takes you somewhere else. Not to "a". In bash this is like `cd -P`.
It worked like this in previous versions (at least on PHP 5.3.3 and before).
Where previous versions of PHP have acted this way, I think it is best for backwards compatibility for this to work.
It looks like this was broken when the fix for bug #55124 was applied:
it made it use expand_filepath_with_mode() with the CWD_EXPAND. Maybe it should have used CWD_REALPATH instead? Just a guess...
Test script:
---------------
<?php
mkdir('a/b/c',0755,true);
symlink('b/c','a/d');
chmod('a',0555);
mkdir('a/d/../e',0755,true);
Expected result:
----------------
On PHP 5.3.3 it runs with no output
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /var/autofs/home/dave/test-recursive-mkdir.php on line 7

I was investigating this issue for a CMS we use and can confirm the problem for the following PHP versions: * 5.4.16 * 5.4.30 * 5.4.38 * 5.4.44 * 5.4.45 * 5.5.14 * 5.5.22 * 5.5.26 * 5.5.28 * 5.5.30 * 5.5.35 * 5.6.0 * 5.6.2 * 5.6.6 * 5.6.12 * 5.6.16 * 5.6.21 * 7.0.6 JFTR: In the described test case, the call "mkdir('a/d/../e',0755,false);" would correctly create the path.
