Reproduce code: --------------- // open and read binary file with 128 byte records $h = fopen("phpbugs.dat", "rb"); while(!feof($h)) { $rec = fread($h, 128); if ($strlen($rec) == 0) break; // should not be needed } close($h); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35136&edit=1
