Bug #53374 [Bgs]: str_replace & fwrite

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53374&edit=1 ID: 53374 User updated by: pascalholscher at gmail dot com Reported by: pascalholscher at gmail dot com Summary: str_replace & fwrite Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes this is happening with php 5 also but it's not a bug it seems as: $version = explode('.', VERSION); $new = explode('.', $newversion); $data1 = preg_replace('{'.$version[2].'}', '.$new[2].', $data); $version[2] represents the old version number ending in this example a 4 $new[2] represents the new version in this example 5 The thing is when I run it the changes are made but all php errors are not displayed on the screen anymore same goes for the echo's etc. Once I make the line like this: $data1 = preg_replace('{'.$version[2].'}', '{'.$new[2].'}', $data); It works but only adds some unnesecary and not planned {} to it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-23 10:27:23] aharvey@php.net It might seem like a bug to you (and it may be one), but I think there are a few reasons why you'd be better off going through a support channel first: Firstly, you yourself closed the bug report with the comment "Solved", so that would suggest that there wasn't a bug for us to look at. :) Secondly, PHP 4 is well past its end of life date, so unless you can reproduce this in a current 5.3 build (5.3.3 or later), this isn't going to be investigated further. Thirdly, you haven't attached a minimal example -- there's quite a bit of extra code there that doesn't appear to be relevant to the bug -- nor have you explained how the code you've attached is misbehaving, what error messages are displayed, and it's quite unclear to me what the actual bug is supposed to be, beyond some sort of issue with str_replace and/or fwrite, which could be anything. For those reasons, I'd very strongly advise you to try seeking help via a mailing list, or Stack Overflow, or IRC, or some combination of the above. If, after all that, there still seems to be a bug, please provide a minimal test case showing the problem and a clear explanation of exactly what's wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-23 08:53:26] pascalholscher at gmail dot com What do I need to contact to get this fixed. It seems like a bug to me... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-22 10:37:02] johannes@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-22 10:34:43] pascalholscher at gmail dot com Solved ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-22 09:04:23] pascalholscher at gmail dot com Description: ------------ A bug with str_replace & fwrite Test script: --------------- function installNewerVersion($newversion) { $docroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; // url naar zip (update site) $src = 'http://support.telsec.nl/tms_updates/'.$newversion.'.zip'; //locatie voor het zip bestand $dest = $docroot.'/tmp/'.$newversion.'.zip'; // open de locaties $fsrc = fopen($src,'r'); $fdest = fopen($dest,'w+'); // kopieër bestand van locatie a naar b $len = copy($src,$dest); // sluit locaties fclose($fsrc); fclose($fdest); $command = 'x "'.$docroot.'/tmp/'.$newversion.'.zip" -aoa -o"'.$docroot.'/tmp/" && exit'; $programDir = $docroot."/../7za.exe"; if(file_exists('tmp/upgrade_'.$newversion.'.php')) { require_once('tmp/upgrade_'.$newversion.'.php'); } $filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/product_version.php'; if(!$openfile = fopen($filename, 'rb+')) { echo 'Kan bestand niet openen.'; } $data = file_get_contents($filename); $data1 = str_replace('3.3.4', '3.3.5', $data); rewind($openfile); fwrite($openfile, $data1); fclose($openfile); if(isset($_COOKIE['checked'])) { setcookie("checked", "", time() - 3600); } echo "<script type='text/javascript'> alert('De update is geslaagd.'); </script>"; return $len; } Expected result: ---------------- Show the output/alertbox "update succes" Actual result: -------------- No output of echo's or alerts at all. Extra info: This is a function included in another file when I comment out the fwrite the script shows the output but doesn't write the data in the correct way. So there are some issues with str_replace & fwrite. I'm using php 4.4.4 as that is the version the firmware is using where we want to let users implent an auto update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53374&edit=1
