maybe,
but i used this without any problem from version 4.0 (one of first) to
store initial append position - that' about some years...
and it's worked through updates up to 4.2.3

'a' mode forces the kernel to always write at the end of the file.
ftell() will give undefined results for append-only streams, as will
seeking.
Writing to such a file should always be appended, regardless of the
results from ftell().
Making this a documentation problem.

after installing 4.3.2
$fr = fopen("filename", "a");
$pointer = ftell($fr);
points to 0! forced to add
fseek($fr, 0, SEEK_END);
$pointer = ftell($fr);
to move to the file end
