PHP 4.0 Bug #8564: fread generating false errors

From: admin@overdoos.dhs.org Operating system: Win9x PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: fread generating false errors when reading from an existing file the following line will work correctly: $byte = @fread($fp,2) or die("ERROR: Can't read from file."); but the next line will cause the script to "die" no matter if it the beginning or halfway the file. $byte = @fread($fp,1) or die("ERROR: Can't read from file."); the ini file is the standard ini file with the timeout set to 0 so it doesnt time out. the script is run in an MSDos shell in windows.. It works fine till it needs to read 1 single byte from a file.. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8564&edit=1
