Bug #65603 [Opn->Nab]: feof not reporting end of file when using fread

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65603&edit=1 ID: 65603 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: grom358 at gmail dot com Summary: feof not reporting end of file when using fread -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.5.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: feof() indicates that you have tried to read beyond the end of the file. For a 3- byte file, if you only read 3 bytes you have not yet tried to read beyond the end of the file and thus feof() has not triggered yet. feof() cannot predict that the next read will fail. By the time you do the next read perhaps the file has grown. This is exactly how this function works in C as well which is where it comes from.

Test script: --------------- <?php $fp = fopen('feof.bin', 'w'); fwrite($fp, 'abc'); fclose($fp); $fp = fopen('feof.bin', 'r'); $bytes = fread($fp, 3); echo feof($fp) ? 't' : 'f'; echo PHP_EOL; fclose($fp); unlink('feof.bin'); Expected result: ---------------- Expected feof to return true Actual result: -------------- feof returned false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65603&edit=1
