Bug #1077 Updated: fgets and fgetc require strlen for lengths read

ID: 1077 User Update by: timothy@ametro.net Status: Open Bug Type: Misbehaving function Description: fgets and fgetc require strlen for lengths read I am going to let this stand until someone reads it, but I found fread. =) Perhaps that should be linked on the fgetc/fgets pages. This is the only quick way I know to show the problem, but various testing after this reveals that fgetc (and fgets) are the culprits. After you ponder the output, notice that /tmp/b.gif is signifigantly smaller than a.gif. I hex editor reveals that it is exactly number of bytes smaller as the number of NULLS encountered. <?php $fp=fopen("a.gif","r"); $fp2=fopen("/tmp/b.gif","w"); while(!feof($fp)) { echo fputs($fp2,fgetc($fp)); echo "<br>"; } fclose($fp); fclose($fp2); ?> BTW- A patch is welcomed, I am going to try as well, but that part of the code looks a bit hairy, hence the reason it got like that to begin with.
