From: isak at hypergene dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: stream_get_line() has ambiguous semantics
Description: ------------ It is impossible to use this function to read exactly one line of arbitrary length, even if you call it multiple times and concatenates the results to a buffer. When the return value is equal to the length argument, you can't know what this means. It can be either one of these cases: 1. You have read one full line, which is exactly as long as the given length. 2. You have read part of one line, which is longer than the given length. In case 1. you will go on and use the line, in case 2. you would want to make another call and concatenate its result to your line buffer. IMHO, the length argument really should be optional. It is obviously possible to include the function stream_get_contents() in the PHP library, therefore I can see no reason why the library should not be able to read strings of arbitrary length. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33163&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33163&r=mysqlcfg
