note 110399 added to function.file-get-contents

file_get_contents tries to read the whole file into memory, even when using the offset parameter. For example, trying to read a few bytes from the end of the file: $x=file_get_contents('test',false,NULL,1670888815); Results in : Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1670897009 bytes) in /var/www/test/t.php on line 2 ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 82.224.205.171 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110399 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110399 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110399 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
