#22057 [Bgs->Opn]: fgets function failure

ID: 22057 User updated by: elazizli@celiknet.com Reported By: elazizli@celiknet.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: PHP manual doesn't tell why this function start to give an error in version 4.3 while working fine with 4.2.x. I also tried less efficient ways of getting http headers just for test purposes and such 3-character long string never appears. That inefficient method returns same string fgets in 4.2.3 used to return. PHP manual says the function was modified regarding a fix about binaries. does that affect the result? As I say it is not about HTTP or server settings. Same code is not working with 4.3 although it worked fine with 4.2.3. Sorry but your answer doesn't help to explain why this error happened after upgrading to 4.3 while keeping all server and configuration settings same.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php fgets() will only return a single line of data or the requested number of bytes, which ever one is smallest will be returned. In case of HTTP, the 1st line that will be sent to you by the webserver will be the response code, which in many cases is just a number 3 bytes long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 15:29:19] elazizli@celiknet.com The following code used to return correct headers for the requested page whit PHP 4.2.3.. $host, $port and $path variables are dynamically assigned by the script. Now it doesn't work without any configuration change other than PHP upgrade. It returns a three-character string instead of the requested information. Is this because of the change applied to fgets function in PHP 4.3? Same code stopped working when migrated to 4.3 from 4.2.3, no module or configuration change happened during upgrade, same settings were kept. $fp = fsockopen($host,$port); $request = "GET $path HTTP/1.1 Host: $host$port Accept: */* Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1 Accept-Encoding: identity "; fputs($fp,$request); $answer = fgets($fp,4096); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22057&edit=1
