Description: ------------ SplFileInfo::getLinkTarget (http://www.php.net/manual/en/splfileinfo.getlinktarget.php) does not seem to work at all. It fails with a "Unable to read link <symlink name>, error: Invalid argument" message. Reproduced on 5.3.8 and 5.3.10-dev snapshot (201201312030) but works on 5.2.17. This similar but not quite the same as #51804 (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51804) Test script: --------------- touch('testfile'); symlink('testfile', 'testlink'); $f = new SplFileInfo( 'testlink' ); printf( 'readlink: %s'.PHP_EOL, readlink( $f->getPathname() ) ); printf( 'SplFileInfo::getLinkTarget: %s'.PHP_EOL, $f->getLinkTarget() ); Expected result: ---------------- readlink: testfile SplFileInfo::getLinkTarget: testfile Actual result: -------------- readlink: testfile Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'Unable to read link testlink, error: Invalid argument' in /home/aheadley/Desktop/testing/test.php:6 Stack trace: #0 /home/aheadley/Desktop/testing/test.php(6): SplFileInfo->getLinkTarget() #1 {main} thrown in /home/aheadley/Desktop/testing/test.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60940&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60940&r=mysqlcfg
