Bug #79806 realpath() erroneously resolves link to link
Submitted: 2020-07-07 15:19 UTC Modified: 2020-07-28 12:05 UTC
From: cmb@php.net Assigned: cmb (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Filesystem function related
PHP Version: 7.3 OS: Windows NTS
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
On Windows realpath() only resolves the first level (soft or hard)
link, but does not go further.  This does neither match the
behavior on Linux (as far as I know), not the documentation which
states:

| The resulting path will have no symbolic link, […]



Test script:
---------------
<?php
touch(__DIR__ . '/link.txt');
symlink(__DIR__ . '/link.txt', __DIR__ . '/link1.lnk');
symlink(__DIR__ . '/link1.lnk', __DIR__ . '/link2.lnk');

var_dump(substr(realpath(__DIR__ . '/link2.lnk'), strlen(__DIR__)));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(9) "\link.txt"

Actual result:
--------------
string(10) "\link1.lnk"
