while reading chunks using fgets from a pdf-File, it occured that fgets seems to read data until a 0x0a occurs but returned the data until the first occurence of 0x00 only. Because of that, half of the data was lost.

example

Hello0x0d0x0a
XYZ

will be read an returned correctly, the data containing "Hello" and the filepointer on the XYZ

He0x00llo0x0d0x0a
XYZ

will retrurn data containing "He" with the filepointer still on the XYZ

my code:
        $fp=fopen($pdf_file,"r");
        while (!feof($fp)) {
            $pdf_line="|".strtoupper(fgets($fp,4096));
            $filepos+=strlen($pdf_line)-1;
            $i=0;
            while ($i=strpos($pdf_line,"Needle",$i)) {
                 if ($i<4000) {
                     $i+=strlen("Needle");
                     $retval[]=substr($pdf_line,$i,strlen("Needle"));
                 } else {
                     $i++;
                }
            }
            if (strlen($pdf_line)>4000) {
                fseek($fp,$filepos-100);
                $filepos-=100;
            }
        }
        fclose($fp);

we solved the problem by using fread() instead of fgets(), but felt you still might be interested.
