Req #51200 [NEW]: file_get_contents() and "offset" & "length" misunderstanding

From: Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:file_get_contents() and "offset" & "length" misunderstanding Description: ------------ Confusing thing appears when reading data with using stream filters. I discovered that "offset" is applied to original stream, while "maxlen" is applied to the stream processed by filter(s).
