PHP Bug Type: cURL related
Bug description: odd behavior changes in php > 4.3.4 by CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER
Description:
------------
I dont know exactly if this is a bug or just misentry in the
Documentation. So I simply start with the code responsible for this
behavior.
curl.h line 848:
case CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER:
convert_to_long_ex(zvalue);
if (Z_LVAL_PP(zvalue)) {
ch->handlers->write->method = PHP_CURL_RETURN;
} else {
ch->handlers->write->method = PHP_CURL_STDOUT;
}
break;
as you can see, the write->method is set to STDOUT if the value is 0. This
could be very perplexing if the write->method has previously change. (with
CURLOPT_FILE in my example)
a simply solution would be to cut the else tree and just change the
wirte->method by an none zero value.
a better one could be to rewrite the curl ext in a way that multible write
methods can be handeled.
Surely this is not a "real" bug, but either the documentation or the code
is wrong and in my opinion it's the code.
Kind regards,
Martin Hoch
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$ch = curl_init("http://www.php.net/";);
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
As descripted above i expected the curl output in the file...
Actual result:
--------------
...but it occurs in stdout.
