So you really think the more useful behavior should be changed for the sake of consistency with rather low-level (C'ish) behavior? I'd rather change the names of the methods instead. Neither is obviously something that can be easily done with regard to backward compatibility, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-11-23 12:06:25] tim_siebels_aurich at yahoo dot de To (1): fmargaine also provided an equivalent snippet, that doesn't match the output. To (2): Of course they do, that's why I opened this bug :P I don't really understand why SplFileObject works differently. > SplFileObject works on streams too but entire lines at a time. SplFileObject has methods that map the name from fopen and friends. As far as I know SplFileObject doesn't use entire lines. I can SplFileObject::fread from it as well. fgets() uses entire lines as well, but the output still differs. I see why it is good to have it when iterating over the SplFileObject. Otherwise every last line would be false. However, I don't see why they should be different. I expect them to be the same. They provide the same functionality and even the same names. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
