Bug #7418 Updated: Mac WWW upload error FIX

ID: 7418 Updated by: sniper Reported By: adam@webglow.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 New Comment: This should be fixed in CVS now. You can try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ Also, there are some minor leaks still in the new code. If you encounter such leaks, please send the shortest possible code + html with which you can reproduce the leak to php-dev@lists.php.net (or me) so we can get rid of these leaks. This fix will be in PHP 4.2.0. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-10-23 19:32:54] adam@webglow.com I found the following bit of code for removing the data fork from a file uploaded via www by a Mac so that the file uploaded is usable. Trouble is it's in PERL and I want to run it directly from PHP. So, my question is two fold: 1) Would it be possible for someone to translate it from PERL -> PHP 2) Would it be possible to add this code into PHP to solve the Mac upload problem once and for all? Here's a copy of the code: -------------------------- The following subroutine "extracts the data fork (what most people would call the real file contents) from the middle of the macbinary encapsulation (which also includes the resource fork and some metadata like type and creator). I got this code off the net, so if it's not entirely accurate, I'm sure one of you will tell me. Basically, the first 128 bytes appears to be a header, and bytes 84 through 87 appear to be a network-order integer value of how many bytes immediately following the header constitute the datafork. So, with the right manipulation, I'm done." sub strip_fork_from_fh { my $fh = shift; my $len = read $fh, (my $buf), 128; # read the header die "short read: $len" unless $len == 128; my $bytes = unpack("x83N", $buf); # get datafork length read $fh, $buf, $bytes; $buf; } You can view the article I found the code from at http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col46.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=7418&edit=1
