Hello all.
I'd like to continue recent IRC discussion here, to draw more attention
to this issue.
At the moment functions fgets() and fgetss() are broken in HEAD, as they
return <maxlen> characters instead of <maxlen - 1>, as they do in 5.2
(and I'm pretty sure this is the way they used to work since their very
first appearance in PHP).
So, anybody relying on fgets($fp, 10) to return 9 characters would get
10 characters instead.
Yes, this behaviour is not very intuitive for those who are not familiar
with fgets() in C, but it's well documented and pretty much expected.
I believe this is an unreasonable BC break and I strongly believe it
should be fixed.
There are 0 reasons to do it (without any discussion) and it can only
result in more users' confusion, even if the original purpose was the
contrary.
May I say that this thread looks very funny and that poor people wonder
what php will be ?
Or I am a troll.
