Bug #19783 A big problem with fread() with PHP4.3.0
Submitted: 2002-10-06 14:14 UTC Modified: 2005-10-05 17:06 UTC
From: nicos@php.net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Filesystem function related
PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-10-06 OS: WindowsNT/XP/2000/9x
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

on some of my code I use the following:
$fd=fopen($filename,"rb");  
echo fread($fd,filesize($filename)); 
fclose($fd);  

It looks fread is limited to a certain value. I can't get more than a certain size. With bigs files, I dont get all of them but just a part so I had to use fgets.

Can someone check if something changed on the fread()'s function that would limit it?

This bug looks really important. 

I dont know if it is because of the new handling of streams but I just verified that its working with PHP4.2.3 and not wit h 4_3 latest.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Reopened this bug.

readfile() on 4.0, 4.2.4-dev and latest CVS-snapshot (13-Oct-2002 03:27) won't work with large files in Windows.

Even
$ptfp=fopen($ipoc_passthru_fn,"rb");
        while(!feof($ptfp))
        {
        print fread($ptfp,4096);
        }
        fclose($ptfp);
won't work.

Files <100k work fine, larger don't.

This error is reproductive on various computers with different Windows-Systems and occurs while trying to pass through PDF-files.

I got a similar problem with :
apache  1.3.27 
PHP 4.2.3
Os : Win NT 4

I do :
$fp = @fopen($localfile, "rb");
while (!feof($fp)) {
fwrite($file2,fread($file1, filesize($localfile)));
}

The size are differents on some test file (not all)
When the probleme occured the dest file is all the time smaller than the source file ... 



			
						
		}
		
		

		fclose($fp);

You have a while(!feof) that does fwrite which is completly wrong. You should READ the whole file (with fread and !feof), then fwrite it.

Bogus.

Thank for your report.

Sorry, you said just read the whole file. What should I do when the file is already bigger than the memory_limit?
What's wrong in the following code?

$fpWrite = @fopen($localfile, "wb");
$fpRead = @fopen($localfile, "rb");

while (!feof($fpRead)) {
fwrite($fpWrite, fread($fpRead, 1024));
}

fclose($fpWrite);
fclose($fpRead);

I have found a similar problem with a script of mine, but actually fread() stops reading if it finds the string '^Z' (without single quotes)..I've done a little file splitter in php, and when i open files like programs it often gives me this error...
