Bug #53241 [NEW]: fopen(..., 'xb') and CURLOPT_FILE make cURL fail with: fopencookie failed

From: Operating system: CentOS 5.5 Linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: cURL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:fopen(..., 'xb') and CURLOPT_FILE make cURL fail with: fopencookie failed Description: ------------ If I call: $fh = fopen('/tmp/yahoo.html', 'xb'); $ch = curl_init('http://www.yahoo.com/'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh); then the last line will fail with the misleading fopencookie-message. I need to use 'xb' and not 'wb', to ensure that just 1 script instance writes into that file - please see more info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4096470/php-curl-curl-setopt-fopencookie-failed Test script: --------------- <?php #phpinfo(); $fh = fopen('/tmp/yahoo.html', 'xb'); if ($fh) { $ch = curl_init('http://www.yahoo.com/'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh); # XXX the line 6 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); #curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/dev/null'); #curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/dev/null'); #curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt'); #curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt'); curl_exec($ch); if(!curl_errno($ch)) { $info = curl_getinfo($ch); echo 'Took '.$info['total_time'] . 's to send a request to '.$info['url']; } curl_close($ch); fclose($fh); } else { echo 'Can not open /tmp/yahoo.html'; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect the script create the file /tmp/yahoo.html on the 1st run and put the downloaded content into it. Actual result: -------------- Nov 4 12:55:19 centos httpd: PHP Fatal error: curl_setopt() [<a href='function.curl-setopt'>function.curl-setopt</a>]: fopencookie failed in /var/www/html/proxy3.php on line 6 And the file is sero-sized: afarber@centos:html> ls -alZ /tmp/yahoo.html -rw-r--r-- apache apache user_u:object_r:httpd_tmp_t /tmp/yahoo.html -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53241&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53241&r=mysqlcfg
