#29167 [Com]: fopen works differently in a constructor vs. a destructor

ID: 29167 Comment by: hans dot duedal at gmail dot com Reported By: kaspersv at privat dot dk Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.0.0 Assigned To: helly New Comment: As wez@php.net said, it's an shutdown order problem. Calling unset explicitly solves the problem, which also affects the unlink function. I was trying to create a destructor that would remove a temporary file.

And another file in the apache servers root directory also called testing.txt, containing the line "Destructor". Reproduce code: --------------- <? class BugTest { function __construct() { $fp = fopen("testing.txt", "a"); fwrite($fp, "Constructor\n"); fclose($fp); } function __destruct() { $fp = fopen("testing.txt", "a"); fwrite($fp, "Destructor\n"); fclose($fp); } } $bugtest = new BugTest(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- A single file containing the two lines: Constructor Destructor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29167&edit=1
