Description:
------------
When calling SplFileObject::ffgetss() in 5.2.x (including the 5.2.14 RC1), a 
warning is thrown and the cursor is *not* advanced. Since this would typically be 
used in a while(!$fileObj->eof()) loop, it can result in an infinite loop.

The complaint thrown in the warning is that the Length parameter must be greater 
than 0. While Length is a valid parameter in the global fgetss function, the SPL 
version of this function only accepts one parameter, and that is for accepted 
tags.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$str = <<<EOD
<html><body>
 <p>Welcome! Today is the <?php echo(date('jS')); ?> of <?= date('F'); ?>.</p>
</body></html>
Text outside of the HTML block.
EOD;

$filePath="filename.php";
file_put_contents($filePath, $str);


$fileObject = new SplFileObject($filePath);
while (!$fileObject->eof()) {
    echo $fileObject->fgetss('body');
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
 Welcome! Today is the  of .

Text outside of the HTML block.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: fgetss(): Length parameter must be greater than 0 in 
C:\fgetssBug\fgetss_basic.php on line 13

Argh. typo. In the description it should be SplFileObject::fgetss().
