#23422 [Bgs]: $string1.$string2 does not always work properly

ID: 23422 User updated by: janez at pinkponk dot com Reported By: janez at pinkponk dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: XP PHP Version: 4.3.2RC2 New Comment: Sorry to bug you for http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23422. There is a bug anyway, as I found out, but not in PHP, but in IE6.0, that saved that page. Instead of adding "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC " in the beginning of the file, IE6.0 added "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ". But "" at the beginning of file was happily ignored by most of windows texteditors if it occured at the beginning of the file. I had to use WinHex to see it at the beginning... Happy coding :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 05:38:49] sniper@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-29 21:01:14] janez at pinkponk dot com Short description: $string1='<?php '; $string2= fread( IE6.0 saved file from "Google Search: site:www.php.net rmdir" $string3=' ?>' $newstring=$string1.$string2.$string3 or newstring=implode($strings -from array) instead of $string1.$string2.$string3 I get the following: $string1.''.$string2.$string3 I don't know why there should be an '' in the file. A file saved IE6.0 from www.aljazeera.net works fine. And so do other files. I tried opening files both in ascii and binary-forced mode. It seems that there is a problem with string concatenation. Anyway, even if it's not a bug (I'm new to PHP), I would like to know how to circumvent it.
