ID: 53875 User updated by: rosshowatson at gmail dot com Reported by: rosshowatson at gmail dot com Summary: file() fgets() fgetc() will read <?php but not save this Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Streams related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I have tried adding the header('Content-Type: text/plain'); statement to both the main PHP program and the source that it is reading but get the same results. I have taken the phpinfo2.php file and renamed this to phpinfo.txt with the same result. Just now I decided to examine the HTML source code and it does DOES SHOW THE CODE correctly. THE BUG IS NOT IN PHP. THE BUG IS IN IE8. In Opera it works correctly. The cause is Micr0$0ft. The data is in what is sent to the browser, the browser fails to read the HTML correctly and drops lines here there and everywhere. Work around for IE8 only: $lines = file('phpinfo2.txt',FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES|FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); $lines = str_replace("<", "<", $lines); // replace the < with < Close the problem/bug as no fix required. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-29 01:11:17] scott...@php.net It's be interpreted as HTML tags, hence why it goes 0, 2, 5. add header('Content-Type: text/plain'); to the top or click view source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-29 00:31:53] rosshowatson at gmail dot com Description: ------------ If reading a file that contains "<?" this is ignored and any text afterwards on that line is ignored. <?php - does not read <? php - does not read <?<? Even with extra spaces before the <? gets shifted to the next line. The fgetc reads the line and can show the data but lines read with the file() command ignores the line. Test script: --------------- Two files required: phpinfo2.php <?php - does not read phpinfo(); <? < ? <?php - does not read <? php - does not read ?> Second file: readFileViaPHP.php <? $lines = file('phpinfo2.php',FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES|FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); echo '<pre>'; print_r ($lines); echo '</pre>'; echo '<br />' . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- You should see all records from phpinfo2.php Array ( [0] => <?php - does not read [1] => phpinfo(); [2] => <? [3] => < ? [4] => <?php - does not read [5] => <? php - does not read [6] => ?> ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => phpinfo(); [2] => < ? [5] => ?> ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53875&edit=1
