note 109167 added to function.curl-multi-exec

Here's something that had me pulling my hair out for quite a while. I was trying to download multiple files and save each one in a file. If you want to read the file again in the same script that has downloaded the url, always make sure to close the original filehandle that you opened for the connection BEFORE trying to read from the file again, even if you open a new filehandle to do so. If you don't do this, a file_get_contents() or fread() will cut your file and only return a limited size of it, 40960 characters in my case, without any other explanation or error. The file will exist (and be complete) on your disk, PHP just wont show it. I (perhaps mistakenly) thought this was a bug so I created a bug report, see it for examples of the code I used to recreate this misterious behavior: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62409 ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 213.229.152.189 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109167 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109167 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109167 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
