From bug 4865 (hope this is enough info)
Description:
------------
Using File::readLine with PHP5 is totally broken, I don't know how else to describe it. When I load the test page below absolutely nothing happens at all. No errors, no page refresh, nothing. It's like PHP is breaking or something??
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
require_once 'File.php';
var_dump(File::readLine('foo.txt'));
?>
foo.txt contains:
This is a file test.
With two lines in it.
Expected result:
----------------
var_dump of "This is a file test."
Actual result:
--------------
Complete breakage, page doesn't even start, for example, if you have another page already loaded and try to load file.php, the old page just remains on the screen.

What package version are you using?
Please enable error_reporting and investigate your logs.
I cannot reproduce this failure.
Thanks

I modified my example program to this:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
require 'File.php';
var_dump(File::readLine('foo.txt'));
?>
And as I said, absolutely nothing happens. No headers are sent, no errors are shown, no page is loaded, no output is printed. The previous page I have loaded does not even go away. It basically just dies and does nothing.
Is there a file where errors are logged?

Oh forgot to mention version info:
$ pear info file
About File-1.2.0
[2005-07-20 09:38 UTC] chris dot stone at gmail dot com
If I try to browse to the example.php file from a new window (no previous page loaded), I do get some headers on the output:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>
but that is all it prints.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I also tried it on my local server at home using Fedora Core 4 which also uses PHP 5.0.4 and I get the same results. You can see the results at:
http://xulchris.dyndns.org/example.php
Please let me know if you need me to modify the example script at all. If I change readLine to readAll, the script runs correctly.

Apaches error log would be the last frontier.
There "should" be some lines noting segfaults (SIGSEGV) regarding your explanations.
If that's the case, you need to get a backtrace.
Thanks.

Try to define FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE to something you expect your longest line will be, e.g. 4096:
define('FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE', 4096);
require_once 'File.php';

Yes, this will work, but it seems that this is a work-around to the real problem. It seems as if PHP is not detecting EOL or EOF characters. I've reviewed the code in File.php, and nothing seems incorrect. The length parameter to fgets should not allocate 8M of RAM on a simple two line file thats < 1k. fgets() is supposed to return the smallest of string to EOL, EOF or length. I think I should try to recreate this problem using standard PHP calls such as fopen and fgets and file a bug report with PHP or RedHat. Please let me know if you have any insight on what might be going wrong. Thanks for the help, I'm glad we atleast have a working work-around to the problem! :)

<?php
define('FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE', 8192000, true);
define('FILE_MODE_READ', 'rb', true);
$fp = @fopen('foo.txt', FILE_MODE_READ);
var_dump(rtrim(fgets($fp, FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE), "\r\n"));
?>
Okay I tried using standard PHP calls (see above), and it works just fine when I do it this way. For some reason, the fgets() call is not working under the File class. :/
Any ideas?

<?php
require 'PEAR.php';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
define('FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE', 8192000, true);
define('FILE_MODE_READ', 'rb', true);
class MyFile
{
function myReadLine($filename, $lock = false)
{
$fp = @fopen($filename, FILE_MODE_READ);
var_dump(rtrim(fgets($fp, FILE_MAX_LINE_READSIZE), "\r\n"));
}
}
MyFile::MyReadLine('foo.txt');
?>
Okay, I've reduced the error down to the simplest code possible to reproduce the error. This code will cause the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in /var/www/html/example2.php on line 16
However, if I comment out the require 'PEAR.php'; line, the code will work!

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net.
In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
Actually it boils down to be my fault, sorry.
I introduced FILE_MAX_LINE_READ_SIZE in 1.1.0RC1 but was *not* aware that the PHP stream will try to pre-allocate the supplied length amounts of bytes.
