#16521 [Com]: file() - incorrect behavior (line endings ignored) on files with Mac EOLN (CR)

ID: 16521 Comment by: dreamchimney@yahoo.com Reported By: dphelan@bcps.org Status: Closed Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.5-Stable PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: is there a work around for this? just some way to go through the array containing the file, line by line. Im using PHP 4.2.2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-23 13:36:48] wez@php.net Fixed in HEAD. Please try a non-stable snapshot and set the new ini option auto_detect_line_endings=on in your php.ini/apache.conf. The fix will be in 4.3. --Wez. PS: You might have to wait a couple of hours for this change to appear on http://snaps.php.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-14 13:46:42] philip@php.net This seems critical as this is such a commonly used function. (and Derick promised it would be fixed by 4.3.0 :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 23:13:59] dphelan@bcps.org In PHP 4.1.2 (and 4.2.0-dev) Calling file() on a 4-line text file with Macintosh line endings (CR) results in a 1-element array: file: (file.txt) blah test three four Code: $array = file( 'file.txt. ); echo count( $array ); >> Returns '1' (Verified by print_r) file() is ignoring the line endings, but the correct result happens for files with Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF) line endings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16521&edit=1
