Now I understand why you are wondering.
In C, you can get "words" in file with your code, but not in PHP. fscanf()
between C and PHP is not identical when I made a simple test codes for both. It
seems PHP's fscanf() advances file pointer to end of line while C's fscanf()
must be done by programmers like fscanf(fp,"%*[^\n]"). In most cases,
programmers want to move file pointer to the end of line. Maybe that's why PHP's
fscanf() does this.
We cannot expect PHP functions works just like C/C++/Java since it is different
languange even is name of the function is the same. I guess what you want to do
is getting all words from a file using fscanf(), but it seems it is not possible
with PHP's fscanf(). (Or is it a bug? Anyone?)
Functions that have the same name in C better to be behaive just like C in PHP
for C programmers. (but may not be good for non-C programmers.) I'm relatively
new to PHP, so I don't know historical reason why some functions does not
behaive like C. I see a lot of differences PHP and C, I think this is the way it
is.
How about a start new thread if you still curious about fscanf() behaviour?
Someone may be able to give better explaination.
