Thanks. I've posted a note to the is_file doc page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-file.php (will take some minutes to appear in all mirrors) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-08 17:36:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php is_file and is_dir will resolve symlinks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-08 17:35:21] adrian at autopublish dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32234&edit=1
