#33609 [Opn->Bgs]: function fgets returns error when optional parameter not passed

ID: 33609 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: php at yvanrodrigues dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows 2000/XP PHP Version: 4.3.11 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. 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 fread() & fgets() are 2 different functions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-07 22:32:15] php at yvanrodrigues dot com Description: ------------ function fgets is documented as: string fgets ( resource handle [, int length] ) however if called with one argument it shows warning: Warning: Wrong parameter count for fread() in scriptname.php This has been reported in previous versions (eg bug 15480) and fixed. I suspect this snuck back in. The docs say the optional parameter has been in place since 4.2.0 I believe Reproduce code: --------------- for($a=0; !feof($fp); $a++) { $instring = fread($fp); $todayarray[$a] = array(); $todayarray[$a]['Course Code'] = trim(substr($instring, 0, 12)); $todayarray[$a]['Section'] = trim(substr($instring, 12, 13)); $todayarray[$a]['Cap'] = trim(substr($instring, 25, 4)); $todayarray[$a]['Enrollment'] = trim(substr($instring, 29, 4)); $todayarray[$a]['Professor'] = trim(substr($instring, 33)); break; } Expected result: ---------------- I expect a string to be returned consisting of a line from the file starting at position 0 of the row and ending when the newline \r\n is reached. Actual result: -------------- php displays an error and dies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33609&edit=1
