#22008 [Opn]: fgetss : 0 vs false, html on multiple lines

ID: 22008 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: airtravel@anet.ne.jp Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: c) Add a <note> regarding the 'blank lines' comment from Ilia. I don't think strip_tags() needs this <note> but maybe it does (doubtful). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 15:41:51] philip@php.net That or maybe a problem existed because it only gets/strips one line at a time which makes dealing with html tags spanning multiple lines not-so-good. So using this fgetss() example script vs strip_tags(file_get_contents($url)) will yield different results. Reclassifying as a doc problem for fgetss(): a) Add the 0 vs false entity b) Add a warning regarding spanning html tags; offer an alternative ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 14:44:04] iliaa@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. I think the problem you are seeing may stem from incorrect usage of the fgetss() function. For that reason I am including a sample of a working code for this function below <?php $fp = fopen("http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22008", "r"); while (($line = fgetss($fp, 4096)) !== FALSE) { echo $line; } fclose($fp); ?> Note that the output of fgetss gets compared to false, this is very important because it is quite likely that fgetss() will return 'blanks' if the line only contains HTML data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 04:11:09] airtravel@anet.ne.jp Also bug report confirmation page(report.php) doesn't show up correctly because <TITLE> tag added in the middle of the body. Try to submit something about 'fgetss' to reproduce this bug report page issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 04:06:37] airtravel@anet.ne.jp fgetss() funcion of PHP4.3.0 doesn't work in any way. strip_tags(fgets()) works fine. Scripts are working fine with <PHP4.2.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22008&edit=1
