Bug #70700 [Com]: LOB read loop ends early for multibyte strings

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70700&edit=1 ID: 70700 Comment by: ashnazg@php.net Reported by: ashnazg@php.net Summary: LOB read loop ends early for multibyte strings Status: Open Type: Bug Package: OCI8 related Operating System: RHEL6, Win7 PHP Version: 5.5.30 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Note, it seems at least a little plausible in my mind that #60994 might be related to this bug, as in the bug condition here might be the root cause of the bug behavior on #60994. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33026617/pdo-oci-truncates-large-multibyte-clobs for my rationale on that thought. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-10-12 19:29:36] ashnazg@php.net Description: ------------ When using the "while !$lob->eof() { $lob->read($chunk); fwrite($chunk) }" loop to read the contents of a long CLOB that contains only single-byte characters, everything works fine (can get a 10,000,000 char clob no problem). However, if the CLOB contains mutibyte characters, it seems as though the size of the first LOB->read() call is as far as the loop will go. Thus, reading the LOB in chunks does not succeed, though no errors are given. A workaround is to use LOB->size() to determine the full size of the CLOB, and then do one LOB->read() on a larger size chunk (thus getting the entire CLOB in one single, huge read). I have to guess this is hard on memory usage when large CLOBs are in play, and is thus not a desirable workaround.
