note 109339 added to function.stream-get-line

WARNING: Specifying a length of 0 does NOT give you an infinite length, contrary to what the documentation might suggest. Instead, setting a length of 0 just makes the function default to a length of 8192. To be precise, it gets the value PHP_SOCK_CHUNK_SIZE (8192) in ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c. So, let's say you're trying to read ALL data until you reach a "\x03" (decimal 3) byte. How do you GUARANTEE that this is the case? Well, there's no way! The only thing you can do stream_get_lin() into a "master" string, then fseek() backwards by 1 character, then fgetc() and verify that it's "\x03". If you don't see a "\x03", it means that stream_get_line() has aborted after 8192 bytes and before hitting "\x03", and you'll have to call it again. Keep appending the return values to a "master" string until you hit a "\x03" or EOF... That's the ONLY way to properly build a string that contains EVERYTHING until the character you're looking for. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 176.10.245.112 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-get-line.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109339 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109339 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109339 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
