Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-07 16:11:32] webmaster at wininup dot com Why is this bug report not considered like a real bug ? It is because it's not at all the behavior expected : file_get_contents() randomly the content delivered is the the new symlink or from the old symlink content !! Still occurs on PHP 5.4.6 (Linux Fedora 17). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-03 12:37:08] p at damezin dot com New simplified testcase : <?php define('TEST_FILE1', '/tmp/testfile1'); define('TEST_LINK', '/tmp/testlink'); file_put_contents(TEST_FILE1, '42'); // create TEST_LINK pointing on TEST_FILE1 using a temporary filename (needed) $tmp_link_name = TEST_LINK . uniqid(time()); symlink(TEST_FILE1, $tmp_link_name); rename($tmp_link_name, TEST_LINK); // reading this link/file file_get_contents(TEST_LINK); // remove the link (we have the same bug making this link pointing somewhere else) unlink(TEST_LINK); $good_result = ''; // clearstatcache have no effect clearstatcache(); // fetching result, must be empty (link does not exist) $result = @file_get_contents(TEST_LINK); // on bogus php it return TEST_FILE1 content echo "TEST : " . (($result == $good_result) ? 'SUCCEED' : 'FAILED') . "\n"; echo "result : '" . $result . "' | "; echo "expected : '" . $good_result . "'\n"; echo "php version : " . PHP_VERSION."\n"; echo "realpath_cache_size (if available) : " . @ini_get('realpath_cache_size') . "\n"; // cleaning @unlink(TEST_LINK); unlink(TEST_FILE1); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-03 12:07:58] p at damezin dot com new summary (perhaps it would make this bug more interesting...) Bug on 5.2.0 is verified with default configuration (without php.ini) and sources provided from php.net (no patch from a portage). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-03 12:00:15] p at damezin dot com still have this problem on 5.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-12 22:00:43] p at damezin dot com still have this problem on 5.1.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
