note 108013 added to function.stream-get-contents

It is important to know that stream_get_contents behaves differently with different versions of PHP. Consider the following <?php $handle = fopen('file', 'w+'); // truncate + attempt to create fwrite($handle, '12345'); // file position > 0 rewind($handle); // position = 0 $content = stream_get_contents($handle); // file position = 0 in PHP 5.1.6, file position > 0 in PHP 5.2.17! fwrite($handle, '6789'); fclose($handle); /** * * 'file' content * * PHP 5.1.6: * 67895 * * PHP 5.2.17: * 123456789 * */ ?> As a result, stream_get_contents() affects file position in 5.1, and do not affect file position in 5.2 or better. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 195.208.247.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-get-contents.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108013 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108013 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108013 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
