Bug #44034 [Opn->Wfx]: FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES in FILE does not work as expected when lines end in \r\n

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44034&edit=1 ID: 44034 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported by: php at commerco dot net Summary: FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES in FILE does not work as expected when lines end in \r\n -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Win2K PHP Version: 6CVS-2008-02-04 (snap) New Comment: Old trunk related. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-10 06:57:17] php at commerco dot net Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, the current build version (php6.0-win32-200802041530) did not cure the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-04 08:40:49] php at commerco dot net Description: ------------ Using FILE, when the parameter FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES is used, if the file uses a line termination of \n the operation works as expected. If the file uses a line termination of \r\n (MS Windows), the \r is not removed. One might argue that the NEW_LINES is \n alone, and of course FILE works fine when the file has a \n terminator, however, \r\n is a common line record (line) terminator on a windows system. If memory serves, this kind of issue has been addressed in some other PHP functions, so it would be great if you would consider addressing this one too. The problem really becomes apparent if you take two arrays derived from FILE functions and combine them via an array_combine. Reproduce code: --------------- /* create 2 files in notepad. $somefile1 data: foo bar etc $somefile2 data: 123 456 789 */ $a1 = file($somefile1, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES+FILE_TEXT); $a2 = file($somefile2, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES+FILE_TEXT); $a3 = array_combine($a1, $a2); print_r($a3); Expected result: ---------------- $a3 is an array with three entries with both key and data each entry having a length of 3 bytes. Array ( [foo] => 123 [bar] => 456 [etc] => 789 ) (which is what happens when a file contains \n terminated lines). Actual result: -------------- $a3 is an array with three entries with both key and data each entry having a length of 4 bytes. Array ( [foo ] => 123 [bar ] => 456 [etc ] => 789 ) (which is what happens when a file contains \r\n terminated lines). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44034&edit=1
