PHP 4.0 Bug #9581 Updated: filesystem reading functions (fread, fpassth.)

ID: 9581 User Update by: mot@warpturbine.net Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Apache related Description: filesystem reading functions (fread, fpassth.) hi jani - that is another way to solve the problem. in documentation, it's said, that fread is binary safe. so this is a documentation problem. for the people programming the software it might be good to know, that it only happens in the apache module, not in the cgi-mode. thanks for your comments. --mot Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-06 12:04:45] sniper@php.net You propably missed the 'b' in your fopen() call? ie. you should use this in Windows: $fp = fopen ("/home/rasmus/file.gif", "rb"); instead of just 'r'. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-06 10:26:27] mot@warpturbine.net while running php as an apache module (not cgi-mode) the filesystem functions of php fread and fpassthrough are not reading the complete file. it skips reading after a number of bytes. i'm not an apache crack that's why i can't say if this belongs to my apache distro (1.3.12) or not. but i don't think so. running in cgi-mode will avoid this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9581
