Issue with "while ($c=fgetc($f))" Loop in PHP
What's Wrong with "while ($c=fgetc($f)) {}" in PHP?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you are using "while ($c=fgetc($f)) {}" to loop through each character in a file, the loop may end in the middle of the file when there is a "0" character, because PHP treats "0" as Boolean false. To properly loop to the end of the file, you should use "while ( ($c=fgetc($f)) !== false ) {}". Here is a PHP script example on incorrect testing of fgetc():
<?php $file = fopen("/temp/cgi.log", "w"); fwrite($file,"Remote host: 64.233.179.104.\r\n"); fwrite($file,"Query string: cate=102&order=down&lang=en.\r\n"); fclose($file); $file = fopen("/temp/cgi.log", "r"); while ( ($char=fgetc($file)) ) { print($char); } fclose($file); ?>
This script will print:
Remote host: 64.233.179.1
As you can see the loop indeed stopped at character "0".
