From: kier at vbulletin dot com Operating system: Redhat Linux 8.0 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: fread() exits prematurely on files opened over HTTP
After switching from PHP 4.3.2 RC2 to PHP 4.3.2 RC4 I noticed that a lot of my scripts failed to properly open the files they were asked to... Here is an example script that works fine under PHP 4.3.2 RC2 but breaks under 4.3.2 RC4 and later. I have not tried 4.3.2 RC3 so I can't say whether the problem was introduced at the RC3 or RC4 stage. Nonetheless, the problem still exists in PHP 4.3.2 Final. <?php $path = 'http://www.domain.com/some/large/page.html'; $fp = fopen($path, 'r'); $contents = fread($fp, 99999999); echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($contents) . '</pre>'; ?> This will output the HTML source of the page referenced in $path, but under recent versions of PHP 4.3.2 the contents is truncated, having not reached the end of the file. It is worth noting that using $contents = ''; while (!feof($fp)) { $contents .= fgets($fp, 100); } does not exhibit the fread() truncation problem, and neither does using fread() on LOCAL files. The problem seems isolated to opening remote files over HTTP with fread(); I have verified this bug on several servers under different PHP configurations. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23874&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23874&r=gnused
