Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52984&edit=1 ID: 52984 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: craig at logicshock dot co dot uk Summary: PHP executing text from .php file opened with fopen(). -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10/9.04, Windows 7 x86 PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: Works just fine here, 5.2/5.3, obviously. Also adding an echo should help to output the data. Double check your actual code, there is certainly an error in it.

The result is nothing like as would be expected as shown below, the result is missing lots of text. 2 versions of PHP have been tried 5.3.1 and 5.3.3 on Windows Vista and 7 both x86 and on two versions of Ubuntu server 8.10 & 9.04, the result is the same across all testbeds. Tried using fgets, fread and file_get_contents, all display the same result. This error was reproduced and verified by a colleague. Test script: --------------- Calling script (index.php): ls_execute(); function ls_execute() { $fp = fopen('code.php', 'r') or die('Cannot open that source resource'); while(!feof($fp)) $data .= fread($fp,128); fclose($fp); return $data; } The file to be read (code.php): <?php echo " This is a test!"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?php echo " This is a test!"; ?> Actual result: -------------- "; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52984&edit=1
