PHP 4.0 Bug #6419 Updated: Curl output has extra data in output

ID: 6419 User Update by: medvitz@medvitz.net Status: Open Bug Type: cURL related Description: Curl output has extra data in output I tracked down this problem. Basically, the strcat function was the culprit. In the curl_exec function I added a unsigned long pos, and then changed the loop that looked like while ((b = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), fp)) > 0) { strcat(ret_data, buf); } to pos = 0; while ((b = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), fp)) > 0) { memcpy(&(ret_data[pos]), buf,b); pos += b; } ret_data[stat_sb.st_size-1]='\0'; If someone with CVS access could fix this.... Also, I've made a mod to my code with respects to bug 6656 This is a problem that I was having, and just corrected in my source. Basically, the curl_handle pointer in the curl_init() function never gets malloc() ed. I added the following line immediately following the variable declarations, and it resolved the issue. curl_handle = (php_curl *)malloc(sizeof(php_curl)); WARNING. Someone who is more adept with the PHP internals, please verify this solution, as I fear that it may cause a memory leak somewhere, and am not sure where to properly clean this up!!!!! I apologize for putting this info here, but, I can't add it to the bug report as I do not have CVS access.
