note 108419 added to function.fgets

WARNING! fgets() and I presume any read() call to a file handle, e.g. while(!feof(STDIN)) { $line = fgets(STDIN); ...do something useful with $line... } ...will result in a timeout after a default time of 60 seconds on my install. This behavior is non standard (not POSIX like) and seems to me to be a bug, or if not a major caveat which should be documented more clearly. After the timeout fgets() will return FALSE (=== FALSE), however, you can check to see if the stream (file handle) has really closed by checking feof($stream), e.g. while(!feof(STDIN)) { $line = fgets(STDIN); if($line === FALSE) { if(feof(STDIN)) { break; } continue; } ...do something useful with $line... } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 94.195.239.56 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108419 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108419 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108419 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
