Description:
------------
PHP5.6 handled the same way file names without extension written either "filename" or "filename." (with dot character at the end of the file name).

PHP7.1.3 handles both forms of file name only in some of the functions but throws warning "Permission denied" in others.

OK functions: file_get_contents, file_exists

Bad functions: file_put_contents, copy, rename


Test script:
---------------
1) 

file_put_contents('test.', 'test.');

2)

file_put_contents('test.txt', 'test.txt');
copy('test.txt', 'test.');

3)

file_put_contents('test.txt', 'test.txt');
rename('test.txt', 'test.');

Expected result:
----------------
1) File "test" written to file system with "test." content.

2) File "test" exists in file system with "test.txt" content.

3) File "test" exists in file system with "test.txt" content.


Actual result:
--------------
1-3) Warning: Permission denied.

Files not created.

Thanks for the report. The behavior change is intentional. Paths with trailing dots are invalid on Windows. Why it happens in 7.1 is, that we are now occasionally forced to use the long path prefix and thus have to be more strict with the path normalization. Otherwise, if "test" exists, accessing "test." is tolerated. Further reading is also here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#naming_conventions

Thanks.
