As fopen() with 'c' doesn't truncate, the file pointer suddenly jumps to the end of file after ftruncate(). This is obviously wrong leftover from the linked patch for bug #76803. I'm going to fix it using your solution and revamp some more. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-30 18:16:49] cmb@php.net > […] if there's something wrong with fopen […] Sorry, my mistake. Actually, the problem is not with fopen() per se, but rather with ftruncate() on a file freshly opened in c mode. If I comment out the ftruncate() call in the given reproduce script, I get the expected: int(0) string(3) "bar" Also, writing only the single character 'b' instead of 'bar' gives the expected: int(0) string(3) "boo" The problem is that the ftruncate() call changes the seek pointer, which it is not supposed to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-30 18:05:53] ab@php.net Thanks for the ping, Christoph. Perhaps, if there's something wrong with fopen, it should be fixed in first place. I'm going to check it first. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-29 22:31:41] cmb@php.net This regression has been introduced with commit 7728160[1].
