Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-28 15:27:48] mattsch at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Open/create a file with fopen. Then delete the file with unlink. Finally, write to that already opened resource with fwrite. fwrite reports the number of bytes written without any errors but the file no longer exists so nothing is actually written to a file. One of two options should happen: 1. fwrite should emit a warning and report bytes written as false or 2. fwrite should recreate the deleted file and write to it and report the bytes written. Test script: --------------- <?php $resource = fopen('foo', 'w'); unlink('foo'); $bytesWritten = @fwrite($file, 'bar'); $error = error_get_last(); var_dump($error); var_dump($bytesWritten); var_dump(file_exists('foo')); Expected result: ---------------- array(4) { ["type"]=> int(2) ["message"]=> string(58) "fwrite(): cannot write to file because file no longer exists" ["file"]=> string(27) "/home/foo/foo.php" ["line"]=> int(4) } bool(false) bool(false) --or-- NULL int(3) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- NULL int(3) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68935&edit=1
