Running this script causes the server to close the connection.  When doing a similar operation to delete a record at the end of the file, the server will run the script, delete the record, restart the script, try to delete a non-existant record (I coded an error message) and then works the second time but it thinks it couldn't delete the record.  Really weird.

I am using the Debian packaged version of PHP.  phpinfo() returns this information:
Linux cyberhq 2.4.21-pre5 #1 SMP Sat Mar 1 00:30:11 PST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux PHP/4.2.3 mod_ssl/2.8.14 OpenSSL/0.9.7a

If you need the configure line, just email me.  I don't think it is relevant.


Here is my script that I used to finally track down the bug.

<?PHP

// These few lines are for a good hit counter
// to see the problem easier.
// They don't need to be here to show the problem.
// Seed the "hit.txt" file with an initial number

$fp = fopen('hit.txt', 'rb');
$Hit = fgets($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
$Hit ++;
echo "Hit:  $Hit<br>\n";
$fp = fopen('hit.txt', 'wb');
fputs($fp, $Hit);
fclose($fp);


// The problem.
$fp = fopen('php_bug.txt', "w+");
// Uncomment this to kill the process.
//fread($fp, 1080648704);
echo "Done.";
