ID: 50320 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: plonk at doramail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request PHP Version: 5.3.1 New Comment: I suppose if you have not had experience with any other language, they might seem illogical, but trust me, we didn't make these up. These are the standard modes fopen takes in most languages, including the native C where it originated. Changing them would confuse a lot of people.
