#22883 [NEW]: feof($fp) where $fp isn't a valid resource returns false

From: stephen at mu dot com dot au Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: feof($fp) where $fp isn't a valid resource returns false Short code snippet - $fp = fopen($filename); while (!feof($fp)) fread($fp, 1024); Summary - fopen() requires 2 arguments, not 1 so it returns NULL (this is correct behavior). feof($fp) when $fp = NULL returns false. So when using !feof($fp) as a loop condition, we get an infinite loop (and 2 error messages per iteration around the loop). I suggest that the foef() function be modified to return that foef($fp) is true, not false, when reporting an error with the file handle resource. This is on the basis that foef($fp) returning false is a condition for the program to continue reading from $fp (i.e. the file pointer contains more data - has not reached the end of file). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22883&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22883&r=gnused
