In the below example, when I run stream_get_line() passing in a $length of 6 and a $ending of "\n", stream_get_line() returns false rather than the contents of the file. The manual states "Reading ends when length bytes have been read, when the string specified by ending is found (which is not included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first).", so I believe the contents of my file should be returned since EOF is first to be reached. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $fp = tmpfile(); fwrite($fp, '12345'); fseek($fp, 0); var_dump(stream_get_line($fp, 5)); fseek($fp, 0); var_dump(stream_get_line($fp, 6)); fseek($fp, 0); var_dump(stream_get_line($fp, 5, "\n")); fseek($fp, 0); var_dump(stream_get_line($fp, 6, "\n")); fclose($fp); Expected result: ---------------- string(5) "12345" string(5) "12345" string(5) "12345" string(5) "12345" Actual result: -------------- string(5) "12345" string(5) "12345" string(5) "12345" bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48420&edit=1
