Behaviour of is_dir

[Osiris]

Hello,

I've some problems with the readdir function within my PHP-GTK2-App.
At the moment I use pear-package File_Find for scanning directories.
But when the full path (beginning with the drive letter) of a file has more than 256 characters, the application dies without any message.

Also, when calling the File_Find-Class from commandline throws this error without any message. The commandline call ends up in something neverending

So, what's up with this? Why I can't use this function in my GTK-app (btw. the same problem appeared in the Version 1 of php-gtk, with a selfwritten class for subdirectory scanning)

Greetings

Christian

----
Some notes, after debugging where the error occurs:
The error occurs when calling the is_dir() function of php and the full pathname to a file is longer then 256 chars.
The same error was posted by another user within the comments to the function is_dir() on php.net

Now it's time to search for a workaround or bugfix.

Here's the bug report to this bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31347

So, is it possible to build a new php-version for the current release, which includes the patch to this bug?

Thanks

Christian

I don't know when php 5.1.2 came out, but it later, it will contain the bugfix already. You could use this version for php-gtk2 as well, the new gnope (to arrive in one or two weeks) will have it.
