From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Include() sporadicly fails when is_file()/is_readable() == TRUE
Description: ------------ Running Joomla with lighttpd, fastcgi, mysql. About 1 in 5 loads of alternating pages, an error is encountered where is_readable($path) is true, but the include fails. The file system has plenty of space, the file does exist, permissions are correct, and the file is loaded successfully the other 4 times. The code snippet below will sometimes fail with "Include failed" and then a subsequent reload of the page will succeed with "Include Success" ----------------------------- $path = 'somefile.php'; if (is_readable($path)) { $retval = include $path; echo '<span class="note">Include retval='.$retval.'</span>'; if ($retval == '') { echo '<span class="note">Include failed</span>'; }else { echo '<span class="note">Include Success</span>'; } } else { echo '<span class="note">File not readable</span>'; } Test script: --------------- $path = 'somefile.php'; if (is_readable($path)) { $retval = include $path; echo '<span class="note">Include retval='.$retval.'</span>'; if ($retval == '') { echo '<span class="note">Include failed</span>'; }else { echo '<span class="note">Include Success</span>'; } } else { echo '<span class="note">File not readable</span>'; } Expected result: ---------------- Include Success Actual result: -------------- Include failed -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52398&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52398&r=mysqlcfg
