PHP 4.0 Bug #9024 Updated: fread can't read whole file

ID: 9024 Updated by: sniper Reported By: zionglau@yahoo.com Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Assigned To: Comments: You need to read the manual page for fopen(). http://www.php.net/fopen where it says that in some braindead systems (like Windows) you have to use 'b' in the mode string to be able to read/write binary files. ie. like this: fopen("the_file", "rb"); --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-31 05:19:44] zionglau@yahoo.com i'm using the following code to read and output a file: $fp = fopen("a_file_here", "r"); // retreive the file content while (!feof($fp)){ set_time_limit(5); // retreive the file content $contents = fread($fp, 1024); // output the content echo ($contents); flush(); } These codes is work fine in older version(php3), but now it cannot read the file completly. For example the file have 1024 byte, it only can read the first 300 byte. Also it work fine with the TEXT file. This problem only happen when i try to read a binary file(e.g. gif/jepg). it seem to be stop reading when the file have a eof char data but it is not really End Of File. Moreover, i'm using Apache and running module mode, but it will work fine when running cgi mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9024
