 New Comment:

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
It is impossible to use this function to read exactly one line of
arbitrary length, even if you call it multiple times and concatenates
the results to a buffer.

When the return value is equal to the length argument, you can't know
what this means. It can be either one of these cases:

1. You have read one full line, which is exactly as long as the given
length.
2. You have read part of one line, which is longer than the given
length.

In case 1. you will go on and use the line, in case 2. you would want
to make another call and concatenate its result to your line buffer.

IMHO, the length argument really should be optional. It is obviously
possible to include the function stream_get_contents() in the PHP
library, therefore I can see no reason why the library should not be
able to read strings of arbitrary length.
