Description:
------------
I am attempting to send binary data to a process openened with popen under windows. However, any 0x0a is appended with a 0x0d, and there is no option to turn this of: popen($exe, 'wb') fails.

Test script:
---------------
  $handle = popen($exe, 'w');
  fwrite($handle, file_get_contents($_FILES['filetoupload']['tmp_name']));
  pclose($handle)

Expected result:
----------------
Data is transmitted as is without interference

Actual result:
--------------
0x0a replaced by 0x0a 0x0d

> popen($exe, 'wb') fails

I cannot reproduce that.  What exactly fails?  Is there some error
message?  Which executable do you call?

Hi,

Thanks for trying.

I lost my test code, since I programmed around it. My exe is the CGI interface of a DICOM server (Conquest DICOM server), and I was using php to forward a POST request to is CGI client dgate.exe. By default popen($exe, "w") opens in text mode on Windows - this is not documented. popen($exe, "wb") is not documented either, and when I tried it did seem not start my exe. There may have been a mixup with PHP versions though.

Okay, thanks for the explanation.  popen() indeed defaults to text
mode on Windows, what explains the reported issue.  However, $mode
'wb' is supossed to enable binary mode, and it does so for me (it
is important to write that as 'wb', not as 'bw' or 'w b' etc.)
Since you can no longer reproduce the problem with 'wb', I'm
changing to documentation bug.  Please open a new ticket, if you
ever stumble upon 'wb' prepending 0x0D to any 0x0A bytes.
