#19211 [Opn->Csd]: fputs and fwrite problems

ID: 19211 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: dw59@earthlink.net -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Cobalt Linux (Redhat) PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-09-03 New Comment: Should be fixed, try RC2 from www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.2.3RC2.tar.gz Please reopen if it's not fixed (And a filepointer is indeed a resource, so that's OK). Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-03 12:54:17] dw59@earthlink.net This only recently began when I switched to a snapshot version 4.2.3-dev from 4.2.2 for an unrelated problem. //open, write to and close file $fp = fopen($html_xml_index_file, "w+"); if (!$fp) exit ("Could not open " . $html_xml_index_file . " for writing!"); $result = fputs($fp, $xml_data, strlen($xml_data)); echo "bytes written - " . $result . "<br/>" . "totol data length - " . strlen($xml_data) . "<br/>" . "file handle - " . $fp; fclose($fp); exit; Produces: bytes written - 0 totol data length - 447356 file handle - Resource id #4 No data written...No errors produced. Using either 'fputs' or 'fwrite' with or without the optional 'length' argument. What is "Resource id #4"? I thought a file pointer would be returned as an integer value?
