note 47942 added to function.fgets

Example 1 goes into an infinite loop if fopen() fails. In my mod_php context, this creates a near undiagnosable memory black hole. The memory consumption is so severe that it even prevents transmission of the PHP error messages. May I recommend instead: <?php $handle = fopen("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r"); if($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096); echo $buffer; } fclose($handle); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47942 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47942&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47942&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
