Microsoft’s *_s functions are unportable, I usually use equivalent C89/C99 functions and disable deprecation warnings (#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE). If you insist, you can use an adaptor function (not necessarily a macro!) that delegates fopen() on platforms that don’t have fopen_s(), but you must be careful to map values of errno_t return code from errno. errno_t fopen_s(FILE … Read more
It is best to use PHP_EOL. This is cross-platform, so it automatically chooses the correct newline character(s) for the platform PHP is currently running on. $stringData = “Floppy Jalopy” . PHP_EOL; PHP Constants
Yes, you can do that easily with SplFileObject::seek $file = new SplFileObject(‘filename.txt’); $file->seek(1000); for($i = 0; !$file->eof() && $i < 1000; $i++) { echo $file->current(); $file->next(); } This is a method from the SeekableIterator interface and not to be confused with fseek. And because SplFileObject is iterable you can do it even easier with a … Read more
No, there’s no standard way. There are some differences between operating systems. Here’s how different OSs handle non-ASCII filenames. Linux Under Linux, a filename is simply a binary string. The convention on most modern distributions is to use UTF-8 for non-ASCII filenames. But in the beginning, it was common to encode filenames as ISO-8859-1. It’s … Read more
I fixed this issue on my server (running PHP 5.3.3 on Fedora 14) by removing the –with-curlwrapper from the PHP configuration and rebuilding it.
Instead of printf(“Error”);, you should try perror(“Error”) which may print the actual reason of failure (like Permission Problem, Invalid Argument, etc).
The first two, file and file_get_contents are very similar. They both read an entire file, but file reads the file into an array, while file_get_contents reads it into a string. The array returned by file will be separated by newline, but each element will still have the terminating newline attached, so you will still need … Read more
The full prototype for a standard main() is int main(int argc, char* argv[]); You get an int with the number of arguments, argc and a list of “strings” (as far as they exist in C), argv. You can for example use #include “stdio.h” int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { printf(“Number: %d\n”, argc); printf(“0: %s\n”, argv[0]); … Read more
If the file is really big (log files or something like this) and you are willing to sacrifice speed for memory consumption you could open two files and essentially do the trick Jeremy Ruten proposed by using files instead of system memory. $source=”in.txt”; $target=”out.txt”; // copy operation $sh=fopen($source, ‘r’); $th=fopen($target, ‘w’); while (!feof($sh)) { $line=fgets($sh); … Read more
IMO it’s the different way to resolve a name from the OS and PHP. Try: echo gethostbyname(“host.name.tld”); and var_export (dns_get_record ( “host.name.tld”) ); or $dns=array(“8.8.8.8″,”8.8.4.4”); var_export (dns_get_record ( “host.name.tld” , DNS_ALL , $dns )); You should found some DNS/resolver error.
