Description:
------------
I experience a situation, where Apache runs under the user name, who
does not have rights to write to a certain directory. This has been
tested and found working: I logged in under that user and received
Access denied error trying to save a changed file in this folder.
The problem is that if I call is_writable() against files in that
folder (and the folder itself!), it will return true which it utterly
wrong. Of course, subsequent writes to the files fail because the files
in fact can not be written to, but the scripts do not know about that.
My wild guess would be this is Windows or WinXP related issue, I do not
have a Linux box to check, but if needed, I can set it up - just email
me.

Reproduce code:
---------------
1. Create a folder 'foo' and file 'bar' in that folder.
2. Create a new user User1 and assign his rights to a folder 'foo' so
that his Allow/Write is unchecked.
3. Run Apache under this user.
4. Create ./foo.php with the following code:
<?php
  if (is_writable("bar"))
    echo "Writable";
  else
    echo "Read only";
?> 

5. Go with your browser to localhost/foo.php


Expected result:
----------------
Writable

Actual result:
--------------
Read only
