Bug #10492 Updated: fgetc return value (FALSE=EOF ... maybe)

ID: 10492 Updated by: derick Reported By: eheckers@users.sourceforge.net Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: You need to use === FALSE in this case, to check for the type too. If this is what you are doing, please reopen this bug report and include a short reproducing script. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-25 11:09:27] eheckers@users.sourceforge.net According to the manula fgetc returns value FALSE if the eof is reached. This is true but the problem is that it also returns FALSE if a '0' is read from the file. The return value FALSE of fgetc() should not be used to test the EOF condition. It is better to drop that line from the documentation and add a reference for using feof() to test for the EOF condition.
