Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67748&edit=1 ID: 67748 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: tr_77019 at yahoo dot com Summary: fscanf does not work when reading text file with only one character -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.28 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I can't reproduce this, running this $fd = fopen('numbers.txt', 'r'); var_dump(fscanf($fd, '%d')); and using a file with one number per line. Could you try to remove the newline check from the format, and pls check the new lines in the file. Thanks.

However, it does work for characters and strings. Test script: --------------- <?php $fp = fopen("numbers.txt", "r"); while ($num = fscanf($fp, "%d\n")) { list($newnum) = $num; echo "This is $newnum<br>"; } fclose($fp); ?> numbers.txt contains: 1 2 3 4 It works for characters and strings: <?php $fp = fopen("names.txt", "r"); while ($name = fscanf($fp, "%s\n")) { list($newname) = $name; echo "This is $newname<br>"; } fclose($fp); ?> names.txt contains: javier hiroshi robert luigi or: a b c d Expected result: ---------------- This is 1 This is 2 This is 3 This is 4 This is javier This is hiroshi This is robert This is luigi This is a This is b This is c This is d Actual result: -------------- This is This is 2 This is 3 This is 4 This is javier This is hiroshi This is robert This is luigi This is a This is b This is c This is d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67748&edit=1
