note 33020 added to function.fread

As of 4.3.2, the functionality of fread has changed in regards to sockets and url wrappers. You can no longer read $length bytes from the file pointer. There is a note in the documentation above which shows you what you have to do. Even though I read that, it didnt click because who would think that a long time PHP function like this would change in functionality and the only indication is a Note: in the docs. When fread()'ing a network connection, you must loop the fread() to read in all the data one packet at a time. Forcing PHP scripts to wrap this sort of low-level programming around what was previously a perfectly useful high-level function defeats the whole purpose of a scripting language and was irresponsible to say the least. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33020 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33020&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33020&report=yes
