i dont think this is a recent change. i think its only an
oversite in the documentation.
mp@appr:~$ php ./bug.php
5.1.4
string(0) ""
bool(true)
bool(true)
mp@appr:~$ php -d safe_mode=1 ./bug.php
5.1.4
string(1) "1"
bool(true)
bool(true)
With 5.1.4 both file_exists() and is_readable() ignored safe_mode
restrictions, so the docs were wrong for file_exists() (which is what
bug #37987 was about) and correct for is_readable(). Both functions
changed their behaviour, now either this behaviour or is_readable() docs
are wrong.
