PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Bug description: Is a simbolic link a regular file?
Description:
------------
The is_file() documentation page says:
is_file -- Tells whether the filename is a regular file
If I pass a simbolic link to a file as parameter, the function returns
true. So my question is: Is a simbolic link a regular file? I think it is
not, so the result maybe a bug.
Extra info: The filetype() function returns "link".
Reproduce code:
---------------
Linux command line:
touch file
ln -s file link
echo '<? if (is_file("link")) echo "y\n"; ?>' | php -q
Expected result:
----------------
Nothing should be printed after last command.
Actual result:
--------------
"y" is printed, so the function is returning true.
