Subject: Re: is_readable stricter than it should be (PHP5 only?)
From: lunakid@neuropolis.org ("Luna Kid")

Cannot reproduce this any more.

(It occured on two different Debian unstable installations, with PHP5-beta3
on apache 1.3.29(?) and the other with PHP5-RC1 on apache-ssl 1.3.29.0.2-4),
with the same result: file could be read, still is_readable returned false).

Now, let's hope I just missed something outside of PHP's scope. That happens
to me quite easily... :-/

Good night,
Sz.
