ID: 51763 Comment by: cataphr...@php.net Reported by: v-sumada at microsoft dot com Summary: SplFileInfo::getType() Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SPL related Operating System: All windows OS PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: The comment should read "information is NOT conveyed in the stat structure". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-08 05:05:38] cataphr...@php.net This is unrelated to Spl. is_link/etc. are all also windows symbolic link agnostic. The problem here is that this information is conveyed in the stat structure. Strictly speaking, the return of getType is not completely incorrect -- the file type _S_IFREG and symbolic links are in fact files or (empty) directories with reparse point data. Maybe the best thing to do would be to change the stat function returned on windows so that the file type is replaced with _S_IFLNK when the directory is a junction/symlink or the file is a symlink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-07 03:36:11] v-sumada at microsoft dot com Description: ------------ The SplFileInfo::getType() For Symbolic link returns "dir" which in turn should return "link" .This happens to be in 5.3.2 and occurs on all windows OS. It Correctly returns the type of file referenced which is for Dir and File . <?php $symlinkdir = "/path/to/symlink"; //Symbolic link $syminfo = new SplFileInfo($symlinkdir); var_dump($syminfo->getType()); ?> Expected result :string(4)"Link" Actual result : string(3) "dir" Test script: --------------- <?php $symlinkdir = "/path/to/symlink"; //Symbolic link $syminfo = new SplFileInfo($symlinkdir); var_dump($syminfo->getType()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(4)"Link" Actual result: -------------- string(3) "dir" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51763&edit=1
