Bug #30157 [Bgs->Tbd]: ftell() function does not use stream_tell()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30157&edit=1 ID: 30157 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: tendencies at free dot fr Summary: ftell() function does not use stream_tell() -Status: Bogus +Status: To be documented Type: Bug Package: Streams related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-09-19 (dev) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hm, actually let move it as a to be documented instead Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-28 22:05:36] pajoye@php.net . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-28 22:01:39] bugs dot php at mohiva dot com I think this bug can be closed. As described by Gustavo(http://news.php.net/php.internals/54999), this is by design. And the wrong results, described in the last comments, are errors in my stream wrapper implementation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-28 10:53:37] bugs dot php at mohiva dot com >> Do you have further analyzes to provide? Please look at the code at https://gist.github.com/1176512 In this scenario stream_tell gets only be executed internally, after calling stream_fseek. This is the correct behaviour and documented at http://www.php.net/manual/en/streamwrapper.stream-seek.php. As you can see, the first both ftell calls returns a wrong result. Only the last ftell call returns the correct result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-26 13:26:58] bugs dot php at mohiva dot com Can you explain why this isn't a bug? In my opinion it's a bug, because the stream_tell method gets never be called in respond to ftell, as it is described in the documentation(http://www.php.net/manual/en/streamwrapper.stream-tell.php). >> Do you have further analyzes to provide? With the provided code snippet, the behaviour is full reproducible. If this isn't a bug, how can I retrieve the actual file pointer position. For all internal stream protocols it is possible with ftell. Only for the custom implemented protocols it isn't. Maybe I'm wrong or I miss something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-25 12:40:50] pajoye@php.net There is no bug but a feature request which seems to be very discutable.
