is_readable

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

is_readable — Dice se un file è leggibile

Descrizione

bool is_readable ( string $filename )

Restituisce TRUE se filename esiste ed è leggibile.

Ricorda che PHP può accedere al file come l'utente che è rappresentato dal server (spesso 'nobody'). Non sono prese in conto limitazione di sicurezza.

Nota: I risultati di questa funzione saranno memorizzati. Vedere clearstatcache() per maggiori dettagli.

Suggerimento

A partire da PHP 5.0.0, questa funzione può essere utilizzata con alcuni URL wrappers. Fare riferimento a List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers per la lista di quali wrappers supportano le funzioni della famiglia stat().

Vedere anche is_writable(), file_exists() e fgets().

Safe_mode restrictions ignored means:
cant read by read() so is_readable() = false.
even if safe_mode_include_dir is set and include does works, is_readable() is false to. :(

DrTebi at yahoo dot com is wrong. is_readable() checks whether you can do file_get_contents() or similar calls, no more, no less. If the location given returns a 500 or 403 error, you can still read() that (you'll simply get the error page), but it's still read()able. Using is_readable to check the validity of a URL is simply the wrong function.

Be careful when using is_readable on symbolic links.

is_readable will return true if the file the symbolic link is pointing to is readable.

The problem is that if the server does NOT allow to follow symbolic links, is_readable will still return true, but e.g. redirecting to the sybolic link will not work. For Apache, make sure that at the server, virtual host configuration level, or inside a directory container you have set
Options +FollowSymLinks

As an example, let's say you have at the document root directory:
index.php -- the script using is_readable
my_linked_page.html -- a regular HTML page
my_link -- a link pointing to my_linked_page.html

Now in index.php:
<?php
if (is_readable('my_link')) {
 
header('Location: /my_link');
}
?>

If FollowSymLinks is forbidden, this will not work, if allowed, it will.

Sometimes in situations where file_exists fails (returns false even though the file does exist) stat will work.

If you are using ACL, watch out for Bug #30931 (now open without any reaction for about 2 month, alltough an solution exists.)
