ID: 22057 User updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment:
I am well aware of what manual states and how the function works. You are saying you get same results from both versions. Which configuration of server settings you use? Did you try all, so you can be so sure? I use Apache 1.3.27 on Windows and upgraded from PHP 4.2.3 to 4.3.0 recently by keeping all settings same and this problem occurred. How would you explain same function code returns two different responses in different versions? Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/4.3.0 PHP 4.3.0 response: "fbc" or something similar. PHP 4.2.3 response: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" And also this doesn't happen for all websites I tried. It seems the function is having some serious problem with certain server configurations. This wasn't the case for 4.2.3. I hope you are not approaching all bug reports as you did to mine. Maybe I should have mentioned my server but still you are approaching with a prejudice of dealing with a dummy user rather than trying to make sure the function works with all platform and distribution versions. You could have asked more details rather than putting it into a "dummy user wandering in bug pages" case from the first reply.

For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The manual clearly states that no more then 1 line will be read by fgets() function. This is not something new, the old code worked in the exact same manner. In my tests the outputs of PHP 4.2.3 & 4.3.0 are identical: PHP 4.2.3 string(17) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK " PHP 4.3.0 string(17) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 16:13:43] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What error? And please give us a complete (but short!) example script.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 15:59:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHP manual doesn't tell why this function start to give an error in version 4.3 while working fine with 4.2.x. I also tried less efficient ways of getting http headers just for test purposes and such 3-character long string never appears. That inefficient method returns same string fgets in 4.2.3 used to return. PHP manual says the function was modified regarding a fix about binaries. does that affect the result? As I say it is not about HTTP or server settings. Same code is not working with 4.3 although it worked fine with 4.2.3. Sorry but your answer doesn't help to explain why this error happened after upgrading to 4.3 while keeping all server and configuration settings same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 15:39:24] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php fgets() will only return a single line of data or the requested number of bytes, which ever one is smallest will be returned. In case of HTTP, the 1st line that will be sent to you by the webserver will be the response code, which in many cases is just a number 3 bytes long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 15:29:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following code used to return correct headers for the requested page whit PHP 4.2.3.. $host, $port and $path variables are dynamically assigned by the script. Now it doesn't work without any configuration change other than PHP upgrade. It returns a three-character string instead of the requested information. Is this because of the change applied to fgets function in PHP 4.3? Same code stopped working when migrated to 4.3 from 4.2.3, no module or configuration change happened during upgrade, same settings were kept. $fp = fsockopen($host,$port); $request = "GET $path HTTP/1.1 Host: $host$port Accept: */* Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1 Accept-Encoding: identity "; fputs($fp,$request); $answer = fgets($fp,4096); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22057&edit=1
