PHP 4.0 Bug #8071: quotes being added with readfile()

From: phil@cmc.ca Operating system: Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: quotes being added with readfile() PHP seems to be adding quotes after "=" (equal signs) when putting a binary file through to the browser via readfile(). A snippet of the code doing this: // Send the file. Note that PHP automatically sends the // private cache directives as this is part of a session. $size = filesize("$xferdir->path/$dload"); header("Content-Type: $type"); header("Content-Length: $size"); // detect any gzip'd files and set the content encoding // header accordingly if (preg_match('/\.gz$/', $file)) header ("Content-Encoding: gzip"); // disable magic quotes so they don't interfere with the // file being sent. // if (get_magic_quotes_runtime()) set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); // dump the file to the browser if (readfile("$xferdir->path/$dload") == $size) { // if the file is fully downloaded // add a line to the sslxfer log log_xfer("$xferdir->path/$dload", "down"); } The script is called as "dload.php/<filename>" and then sends the given file to the user. I'll check with our legal dept (blech) on Monday and see if I can make the original and modified files available. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8071&edit=1
