On another question, Jerry Coffin pointed out the following: It's (probably) not really related to your question, but while (!feof(fileptr)){ is pretty much a guaranteed bug. I figured I would start a separate question since that comment is somewhat off-topic. Could someone explain this to me? This was the first program I've writ...
I am reading a binary file byte-by-byte,i need determine that whether or not eof has reached. feof() doesn't works as "eof is set only when a read request for non-existent byte is made". So, I can have my custom check_eof like: if ( fread(&byte,sizeof(byte),1,fp) != 1) { if(feof(fp)) return true; } return false; But the probl...
The file that I'm trying to read is a pgp-encrypted file. This is part of the process to decrypt it and I'm actually attempting to read the contents into a string so that I can then decrypt it. I'm not sure if that's the core problem here or not, but I'm getting an error: Warning: feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resou...
I come from a C and C++ background but also play with some web stuff. All us C folks (hopefully) know that calling feof on a FILE* before doing a read is an error. This is something that stings newbies to C and C++ very often. Is this also the case for PHP's implementation? I figure it has to be because the file could be a socket or an...
