For windows users,

It will return TRUE for EXE extensions. I have checked for MSI, but it returns FALSE.

This function returns the value for the process PHP is executing under.

/var/somebody/files was only executable by owner (700).

It contained world-readable files, but without execute permission, PHP could not access the directory to download the files.

is_executable() returned false.

Making the dir world-executable (701) gave access to PHP.  The download worked. And is_executable() returned true.

I assume that if I added PHP to the group of the folder and gave the group executable permission, that would also work.

Under windows, it seems to returns always false for directories.

I.e

<?php
$dir
= __DIR__;
$result = is_executable($dir) ? 'true' : 'false';

if(
$result){
  echo
$result;
}
?>

So do NOT use this to check if a folder is transversable because it will be system dependant code.

is_executable() does not check the PATH environment variable, so if your current working dir is /dir/ and you have /bin/ in your PATH env and the file /bin/ffmpeg exists, then you can still run shell_exec("ffmpeg"), but is_executable("ffmpeg") will return false.

if you're looking for a version of is_executable that also considers the PATH environment variable, then try this:

<?php

function is_executable_pathenv(string $filename): bool
{
    if (
is_executable($filename)) {
        return
true;
    }
    if (
$filename !== basename($filename)) {
        return
false;
    }
   
$paths = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, getenv("PATH"));
    foreach (
$paths as $path) {
        if (
is_executable($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename)) {
            return
true;
        }
    }
    return
false;
}

Find no mention of this, but is_executable returns result for owner permissions only (not for group or other).
