Bug description: fgets reads the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark literally
Description:
------------
When text files are saved with UTF-8 encoding, a few characters are saved
at the front called the "Byte Order Mark" (read more about it on
Wikipedia). They are supposed to remain hidden and just be used as
meta-data to indicate that the file is saved with UTF-8 formatting. Their
hex values are EF BB BF, which is represented in ASCII by "".
The trouble is that when you read in a UTF-8 text file with either fgets
or fgetcsv, PHP misinterprets the BOM as literal text and includes it with
all the other text.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
if ( $fp = fopen('ut8_text_file.txt') ) {
echo fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Whatever text is saved on the first line of the text file.
Actual result:
--------------
Whatever text is saved on the first line of the text file.
