ID: 48111 User updated by: simon at stienen dot name -Summary: unlink won't delete symlinks without a target Reported By: simon at stienen dot name Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE/amd64 PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment:
forgot open_basedir in the title Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-29 17:42:48] simon at stienen dot name Description: ------------ unlink()ing a symlink with its target missing fails with an open_basedir error. This might be related to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20235 (actual deletion changed, but sanitization still uses target?) and/or http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29145 (missing target (empty string?) is considered to be outside of open_basedir?) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo "creating link\n"; symlink('nonexisting_target', 'link'); echo "unlinking link\n"; unlink('link'); echo "creating target\n"; file_put_contents('nonexisting_target', 'foo'); echo "unlinking link (again)\n"; unlink('link'); echo "unlinking target\n"; unlink('nonexisting_target'); Expected result: ---------------- Run with php -d open_basedir= creating link unlinking link creating target unlinking link (again) Warning: unlink(link): No such file or directory in /tmp/- on line 13 unlinking target Actual result: -------------- Run with php -d open_basedir=/ creating link unlinking link Warning: unlink(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(link) is not within the allowed path(s): (/) in /tmp/- on line 7 creating target unlinking link (again) unlinking target ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48111&edit=1
