[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #6853: is_link malfunction? From: kittengrey <email protected>
Date: 09/22/00

From: kittengrey <email protected>
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 4.0.2
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: is_link malfunction?

If the destination of a link is not found, is_link will return false. Performing readlink on the link still returns the intended destination. The link, regardless of whether the destination exists or not, is still a link. Wouldn't it make more sense to have is_link return true, and allow the user to then perform checks to see whether the destination is valid?
