The file functions does not seem to handle ascii value 0 in a file... (probably because the c-code that reads in the file interprets it as a null terminated string). Anyways if a file contains a ascii value 0, the content read in will end at the first ascii 0. So to successfully read in files like /proc/pid/cmdline, or /proc/pid/environ which both use ascii 0 as a field separator for it's content you have to use fread, fgets or similar. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16186 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16186 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16186
