On the second thought it doesn't seem like a feature.

Description:
------------
Note or warning here?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftruncate.php

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

// truncate doesn't move the file pointer to the end of the file

$flog = fopen("text.txt", "w+");
fwrite($flog, "veeery veeery long string");
fseek($flog, -2, SEEK_END);
ftruncate($flog, 6);

fwrite($flog, "shortstr");
fclose($flog);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
0000000000: 76 65 65 65 72 79 20 73 &#9474; 68 6F 72 74 73 74 72    
veeery shortstr

Actual result:
--------------
0000000000: 76 65 65 65 72 79 20 00 &#9474; 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
veeery
0000000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 73 &#9474; 68 6F 72 74 73 74 72       
    shortstr
