PHP 4.0 Bug #9173 Updated: getline

ID: 9173 Updated by: cynic Reported By: amandato@unitedmcgill.com Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: user feedback: *************** getline in C++ does not limit the delim character with just a newline. if I wanted, I could do a getline on a string stream where the line ends with "|". example: strstream sin; sin.getline( szBuffer, nLength, '|' ); I would think this would be highly useful. It is just a suggested feature to add. Also, with getline, it does not return the delim "|" character in the szBuffer. *************** ok, re-opened Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-08 10:02:19] cynic@php.net please, read the manual: fgets does what you want. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-08 09:47:41] amandato@unitedmcgill.com Add a getline feature to the file and string routines. is it possible to incorporate the iostream style stdin/stdout in php? this is the getline i wrote: function getline( $fp, $delim ) { $result = ""; while( !feof( $fp ) ) { $tmp = fgetc( $fp ); if( $tmp == $delim ) return $result; $result .= $tmp; } return $result; } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
