Doc #79965 [NEW]: Why does the manual say fread/fwrite changed in PHP 7.4?
From: thiemo dot kreuz at wikimedia dot de
Operating system:
PHP version: 7.4.9
Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Why does the manual say fread/fwrite changed in PHP 7.4?
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/migration74.incompatible
---
Quote: "fread() and fwrite() will now return FALSE if the operation
failed. Previously an empty string or 0 was returned."
This is not correct, or at least misleading. Both functions are
documented to return false in case of a failure ever since. What changed
in PHP 7.4? I tried to find the related code change, but all I found are
bugfixes. Does this section refer to a bugfix? Maybe there was a very
specific failure situation that was not reported via false?
TL;DR: Please re-write or remove this misleading section from the
migration manual.
