Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70819&edit=1 ID: 70819 Comment by: mail at jerrygrey dot me Reported by: mail at jerrygrey dot me Summary: bzopen/fopen is not rewinded when accessing a file for the second time Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Streams related Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: In that case, should this function exist at all? It is just causing confusion. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-01 15:20:20] reeze@php.net This might be a document problem. bzflush() is a no-op function, https://github.com/enthought/bzip2/blob/master/bzlib.c#L1505 You could close it before next reading. <?php $file = __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'bzflush_test.txt.bz2'; $text = "This is a test string."; $bz1 = bzopen($file, 'w'); bzwrite($bz1, $text); var_dump(bzflush($bz1)); var_dump(file_get_contents($file)); bzclose($bz1); var_dump(file_get_contents($file)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-10-30 06:20:15] mail at jerrygrey dot me Description: ------------ This looks like an old bug (from 12 years ago) first appearing here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fflush.php#28887 It has reappeared via https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1553 The function bzopen should automatically rewind the file pointer as per fopen() documentation for "r" mode: "...place the file pointer at the beginning of the file", but it doesn't. If this is by design, it should be included in the documentation. Since fopen is the base for bzopen, it might have the same issue too. Test script: --------------- <?php $file = __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'bzflush_test.txt.bz2'; $text = "This is a test string."; $bz1 = bzopen($file, 'w'); bzwrite($bz1, $text); var_dump(bzflush($bz1)); $bz2 = bzopen($file, 'r'); var_dump(bzread($bz2)); bzclose($bz2); bzclose($bz1); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) string(22) "This is a test string." Actual result: -------------- bool(true) string(0) "" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70819&edit=1
