note 31567 deleted from function.feof by didou

Note Submitter: ---- Please note that this function "returns TRUE if [...] an error occurs". I don't quite understand why it does, but it means you must check every file pointer before using feof() inside a loop. $fp = fopen($filename, 'r'); while (!feof($fp)) { // ... } If the file doesn't exist, $fp, won't be a valid resource but feof() will retrun TRUE nonetheless, which means you will be caught in an endless loop. $fp = fopen($filename, 'r'); if (!is_resource($fp)) { // ... } else { while (!feof($fp)) { // ... } } Very annoying.
