Open an existing text file (insert some crap before) like:

$output = fopen("test.txt", "a"); #we want append something

Here is the problem:

$position = ftell($output); #returns always 0 and not the real fileposition!!!

fputs($output, "test"); #but this works without any problems (it has the real fileposition, but ftell gets the false one)

I found this bug only on windows systems, not on linux.

following script works okay for me (win2k) so closing.

<?php
$output = fopen("test.txt", "a+");
echo "bytes written: ", fputs($output, "test"), "\n<br>file offset: ". ftell($output);
fclose($output);
?>
