PHP uses the system provided fwrite. If that does not work, it's not PHP problem. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-25 19:22:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cynic pointed out that I was misreading this bug report. PHP's fwrite doesn't seem to do the same translation that C does on windows boxes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-25 18:37:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not really a bug. PHP emulates C in this, as it does in many other things. It seems that in the opinion of most of the developers, this is a Good Thing (tm). Reclassify as a Change Request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-08 20:33:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is not with fopen(file, "wb"), which works correctly. The problem is with fopen(file, "w") because it works the same as the "wb" option. Using the "w" option should cause any text to be translated from '\n' to '\r\n' on Windows systems or else text editors such as Notepad will not view the file correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-08 14:04:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] fopen uses whatever mode you give it. The rest of functions (like "system") use 'b' modes, since they are meant to pass the data unchanged. If you have a code that uses fopen and it ignores 'b', please reopen the report and post the code, otherwise - you are getting the intended behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-07 14:11:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] C programs that execute on Windows systems use fopen() with a "b" mode option (example, fopen(fname,"wb")) when the output string is to be written exactly as is to the file. When opened with "w", the '\n' character is automatically translated to the sequence '\r\n'. This character sequence defines the end of lines to Windows-based text programs, such as Notepad. This capability is not supported with PHP though the documentation hints that it should. Without this feature, PHP programs are not directly portable between Windows systems and Unix/Linux systems without a lot of special program coding on the part of the developer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8579&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
