when calling the following: 
$str_of_file = "blah.txt"; // file is 500bytes
$file = fopen($str_of_file);
fgets($file,filesize($str_of_file)); // i only get the 499 first characters of the file!

So there seems to be a problem.

Tested on Win32 (WinNT 4 / 2000) platforms as on FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE.

the Win32 binary was the one supplied on the PHP site, running on an Apache 1.3.12.

RTMF, please:


                 string fgets (int fp, int length)

                 Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by fp. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read
