Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-13 13:36:43] ab@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-02 14:41:38] tr_77019 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ fscanf does not read the first line of a text file when there is only one integer on each line. 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
