#36289 [Opn->WFx]: SplFileObject needs fread()

ID: 36289 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: robertpaul at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.1.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: helly New Comment: SplFileObject is a line iterator, that is it reads the next line on current() and friends. Introducing fread would mean one would need to cound the '\n's after reading some bytes. That said it would be ok to read the remainder as from the object since then valid() would return true and the number of lines wouldn't matter. An alternative would be allowing to skip line counting. However right now fread() in its current forma does not make sense.

Having that available would be Really Good™. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36289&edit=1
