#23984 [NEW]: chr(0) in string causes string truncation

From: ltfrench at vt dot edu Operating system: Redhat 8.0 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: chr(0) in string causes string truncation This problem is very similar to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14580 and also http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18341 but seems to have cropped up again. Inserting a null character into a string with the chr() function causes the string to be truncated. <?php $null = chr(0); $a = "string\0withnull"; $b = "string$nullwithnull"; echo $a . "\n"; echo $b . "\n"; echo strlen($a) . "\n"; echo strlen($b) . "\n"; ?> Output: stringwithnull string 15 6 I encountered this with a generic php 4.3.1 setup. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23984&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23984&r=gnused
