Summary: PHP executing text from .php file opened with
fopen().
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions
Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10/9.04, Windows 7 x86
PHP Version: Irrelevant
Block user comment: N
New Comment:
Another update, in the source file that is read using fopen, if I change
the <?php
to < ?php the function works as expected, so, somewhere along the line
PHP is
finding the <?php in the text and is recognising it as PHP code where it
should
only be treating it as plain text.
Also, changing the file extension make no difference

As an update, I altered the code.php file to see if the contents made a
difference.
The changed file is:
// This is a test comment, doesnt matter that it is not in the php tags
because this
// file SHOULD NEVER BE EXECUTED!
<?php
echo " This is a test<?php ?>";
?>
Now, the resulting output should be that exact text as the reading
script is only reading the text, not executing it. However the result is
instead:
// This is a test comment, doesnt matter that it is not in the php tags
because this // file SHOULD NEVER BE EXECUTED! "; ?>
There is something wrong here, because it is reading parts and not
others.... To be sure I tried it on my Windows machine (PHP 5.3.1) ,
and again on two of my Linux servers (PHP 5.2.6 &
5.3.3), the result is the same on all three.
I still cannot see any coding error. Surely this is a bug?

The actual code is shown here, am I missing a mistake here then?
The original code was a lot bigger but I broke it down to the code shown
below to
help isolate the problem. I had a colleague look too, he also couldn't
see
anything wrong, still I will check the code again just in case my last
12 months
of forced ASP.net has made me overlook something.
There was an echo added, I forgot to show that in the first post here,
so added it
as an edit, shown below.

Works just fine here, 5.2/5.3, obviously.
Also adding an echo should help to output the data.
Double check your actual code, there is certainly an error in it.

The text:
Calling script (index.php):
ls_execute();
Should read:
Calling script (index.php):
echo ls_execute();

Description:
------------
While trying to use a PHP script to read the contents of another .php
file using
fopen(), it appears that PHP might be executing/skipping/altering the
text as PHP
code instead of treating it as plain text.
The result is nothing like as would be expected as shown below, the
result is
missing lots of text. 2 versions of PHP have been tried 5.3.1 and 5.3.3
on Windows
Vista and 7 both x86 and on two versions of Ubuntu server 8.10 & 9.04,
the result
is the same across all testbeds.
Tried using fgets, fread and file_get_contents, all display the same
result.
This error was reproduced and verified by a colleague.
Test script:
---------------
Calling script (index.php):
ls_execute();
function ls_execute()
{
$fp = fopen('code.php', 'r') or die('Cannot open that source
resource');
while(!feof($fp))
$data .= fread($fp,128);
fclose($fp);
return $data;
}
The file to be read (code.php):
<?php
echo " This is a test!";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
<?php
echo " This is a test!";
?>
Actual result:
--------------
"; ?>
