This is by design. Even the manual page for file() says it. :)


(Or was this a feature/change request to strip them?)

Sniper,

In my humble opinion this is a bug as it causes other functions to perform irradically 
- array_search and in_array. At the very least there should be something in the docs 
for these functions to give a heads up. The ideal would be a change to the file 
function allowing the stripping of the newlines.

I guess this makes it a feature/change request.

Using the file function, newlines (\n) are included in the read. The causes odd 
behaviour in other functions such as:

mail - If the subject parameter is loaded using the file function, the newline causes 
the headers sent using mail to be invalid. In the case of Eudora the header 
information is dispalyed in the message and the From field displays the server account 
that generated the message - in my case WWW User.

array_search - All efforts to use this function fail with an array created with the 
file function. Only through the following cose will it produce the results expected:

$someArray = str_replace (array(\r, \n), '', $someArray);

(Thanks to Zak Greant for this code :)

in_array - Much like array_search, the results are misleading due to the presence of 
newlines. A match is never found even though an echo of the array being tested looks 
identical to the target string/integer.
