Description

Description

When loading files in $path using

<?php
$directory = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::FOLLOW_SYMLINKS);
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($directory);
?>

PHP 8.1 on Windows (Windows 10) does not include files located in a folder that is a symlink (junction).

The unread folder is on the same disk and its symlink (junction) is inserted into $path.

If I view $directory using

<?php
foreach ($directory as $i) {
    var_dump($i);
}
?>

I can see the symlinked folders. But if I try to load the files using

<?php
foreach ($iterator as $i) {
    var_dump($i);
}
?>

the files located in the symlinked folder are no longer dumped. The files in the actual folders in $path are included.

In PHP 8.0 and below, everything is fine and the above code works.

Sorry for my English.

PHP Version

PHP 8.1.11

Operating System

Windows 10
