#33333 [NEW]: strpos (and other functions) not seeing a character that is very clearly there

From: FxChiP at Gmail dot com Operating system: *nix most likely PHP version: 4.3.11 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: strpos (and other functions) not seeing a character that is very clearly there Description: ------------ Using explode(), strpos(), and probably any other string-related function in conjunction with a string returned from fgets() will (at least sometimes) produce an incorrect result. i.e. if there is a line like this in a file called public_covers.db: FxChiP§this is a test statement§guitar§akczf.pk.gif§whee§1113865622§1113967262 The *entire string* will be the first element in the array created by explode(). More information is included in the reproduce code. Contents of the public_covers.db file: FxChiP§this is a test statement§guitar§akczf.pk.gif§whee§1113865622§1113967262 duality515§Vermilion Pt2§bass§jimroot54_vermilionpt2.mp3§pwnage§1113877848§1113967262 duality515§Everything Ends§guitar§macca_everythingends.mp3§w00t§1113967262§1113967262 duality515§gsg§bass§temp.jpg§§1116469075§1113967262 Reproduce code: --------------- <?PHP $public_db = fopen("public_covers.db", "r"); $bwerp = explode('§', fgets($public_db)); var_dump($bwerp); ?> Expected result: ---------------- From the var_dump, I'd expect to see an array consisting of everything "in between" the § characters. Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [0]=> string(84) "FxChiP§this is a test statement§guitar§akczf.pk.gif§whee§1113865622§1113967262 " } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33333&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33333&r=mysqlcfg
