However, this does not happen with PHP 7.3 on Windows; instead the file pointer is positioned at the end of the file, even though ftell() claims otherwise. It works as expected on Linux and with PHP 7.2 on Windows. [1] <http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php> Test script: --------------- <?php $filename = __DIR__ . '/fopen-c.txt'; file_put_contents($filename, 'foo'); $stream = fopen($filename, 'c'); ftruncate($stream, 0); // fseek($stream, 0); var_dump(ftell($stream)); fwrite($stream, 'bar'); fclose($stream); var_dump(file_get_contents($filename)); Expected result: ---------------- int(0) string(3) "bar" Actual result: -------------- int(0) string(6) " bar" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77081&edit=1
