When fgets() reads a string that ands with <<<EOT, the string is truncated after << and a lot of following input is discarded.

When <<<EOT is changed to <<< EOT, behaviour is as I expect it.

Can it be explained why the content of a file is interfering with the behaviour of fgets()?


Sorry, my crystal ball is broken. I can't see your code or the data in the file you're trying to read.

(Top posting fixed)

Your problem is not the <<<EOT - it's in your comparison. When your '//!' starts in the first column, strpos returns 0. Your 'if' statement converts the 0 the a false and never executes the following code. A similar error occurs in your while() statement.

I change those lines to the following and it worked as expected:

if (strpos($regel,"//!") !== false) {

and
} while (!feof($fp) && strpos($regel,';') !== false);

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.



The test on a boolean type is certainly the way to go.
But it doesn't change the unexpected behaviour:

--------------------------------------------------------------
code (Corrected):
--------------------------------------------------------------
$fp = fopen($filename,"r");
$n = 0;
while ($regel = fgets($fp)) {
++$n;
if (strpos($regel,"//!") !== false) {
echo $filename,"\n",
sprintf("%3d ",$n),substr(trim($regel),4),"\n";
do {
$regel = fgets($fp);
++$n;
echo "\t",trim($regel),"\n";
if (strpos($regel,';') !== false) {
break;
}
} while (!feof($fp) );
echo "\n";
}
}
fclose($fp);

--------------------------------------------------------------
Inputfile:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
//! This is working fine (space)
echo <<< EOT
A
B
C
EOT;
//! Unexpected A
echo <<<EOT
D
E
F
EOT;
//! Unexpected B
echo <<<EOT
G
H
I
EOT;
//! Final (space)
echo <<< EOT
J
K
L
EOT;
?>
--------------------------------------------------------------
Output for this file:
--------------------------------------------------------------
./Untitled-1.php
2 This is working fine (space)
echo <<< EOT
A
B
C
EOT;

./Untitled-1.php
8 Unexpected A
echo <<<<<<< EOT
J
K
L
EOT;

If you're expecting the PHP code in your input file to be parsed, it won't be. All you are doing is reading the file.

I ran your code with your input file and here's what I got:

filein.txt
2 This is working fine (space)
echo <<< EOT
A
B
C
EOT;

filein.txt
8 Unexpected A
echo <<<EOT
D
E
F
EOT;

filein.txt
14 Unexpected B
echo <<<EOT
G
H
I
EOT;

filein.txt
20 Final (space)
echo <<< EOT
J
K
L
EOT;

Which is what I would expect.

The biggest difference between your php and mine is the level:

PHP Version => 5.2.6

System => Windows NT MYSYSTEM 5.0 build 2195
Build Date => May 2 2008 18:01:20
Configure Command => cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared" "--with-extra-includes=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDK\Include;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\INCLUDE;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE" "--with-extra-libs=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDK\Lib;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\LIB;C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\VC98\MFC\LIB"

At this point it looks like it might be a bug in PHP 5.2.5, but I don't find something similar in the bugs list.
