#35859 [Bgs]: fread limited to 8K

ID: 35859 User updated by: cpuidle at gmx dot de Reported By: cpuidle at gmx dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: WinXP SP2 PHP Version: 5.1.1 New Comment: Thanks. Could you verify that this behaviour has been changed between 5.0.5 and 5.1.1? Would it be worth to add to the documentation, that for local files 8K is an internal limit?

I was not able to reproduce the bug standalone, only inside a complex application. This does not happen with PHP5.0.5, but with 5.1.1. Unfortunately the sample code does not reproduce the problem standalone, but demonstrates the effect. Reproduce code: --------------- function _read_file($filename) { if ( file_exists($filename) && ($fd = @fopen($filename, 'rb')) ) { $contents = ($size = filesize($filename)) ? fread($fd, $size) : ''; echo("_read_file($filename) \$size: $size strlen(\$contents): ".strlen($contents)."<br/>"); fclose($fd); } } _read_file('templates/elegant/\show.tpl'); Expected result: ---------------- Output: _read_file(templates/elegant/\show.tpl) $size: 9520 strlen($contents): 9520 Actual result: -------------- Output: _read_file(templates/elegant/\show.tpl) $size: 9520 strlen($contents): 8192 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35859&edit=1
