TYPO3 Core

In this method, there are more lines (890ff., 958ff.) checking whether it is a file or a XML string:

$file = t3lib_div::getFileAbsFileName($STRING_TO_BE_CHECKED);
if ($file && @is_file($file)) {
  // It's a file
} else {
  // It's not a file
}

In my opinion this check should be done always in the same way regardless of your working patch.

You're right, but it seems this problem is fixed in trunk anyway: http://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core.git?a=blob;f=t3lib/class.t3lib_befunc.php;h=e5c6e5d0282d0f64710cc819f31931212ced5e02;hb=HEAD#l947

Also it would be nice to add an @ char to the is_file() command. Because on any other Function calls there is @is_file() to prevent the warning. After adding this small char to the specified line it works too (but not so comfortable like "strpos(..." like in the trunk.

Sadly, the "I want to contribute" section ends when a local repo is successfully created. A "how (and where) to push a patch & how to create gerrit ticket" guide is missing afaics.

Not if my above posted link points to a version which will be included in the next minor release. I did not test this file but it seems the posted code line should fix this issue.

Nahhh, Im sorry. Its described in every other guide but the "Command Line on Windows" section. I missed these parts.
Perhaps the "Command Line on Windows" should be renamed as its only describes the installation process. All other guides are within the Linux/Mac section.

Hi,

as this issue is very old. Does the problem still exists within newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (6.1)?
