- <p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">is_writable()</span></code> returns TRUE on Windows servers when you really can’t
- write to the file as the OS reports to PHP as FALSE only if the
- read-only attribute is marked.</p>
- <p>This function determines if a file is actually writable by attempting
- to write to it first. Generally only recommended on platforms where
- this information may be unreliable.</p>
