Description:
------------
Fatal error is generated when the parameter "maxlen" of file_get_contents() is provided with value < -1. This behaviour is on PHP5 as well as on PHP6 on win32-xp and Linux.
Suggested Fix:
file : ext/standard/file.c
function: file_get_content()
Code : This code snipped should be added just after parsing the input parameters.
if ( maxlen < -1) {
php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Maxlen parameter must be greater than or equal to 0");
RETURN_FALSE;
}
Explanation for the warning message in the suggested fix:
The maxlen is being checked for < -1 and not < 0 because, maxlen is initialized to PHP_STREAM_COPY_ALL (i.e -1 ). The -1 mean that entire file will be read. default value -1 of maxlen is not documented in the php doc ,so user getting the warning message saying "Maxlen parameter must be greater than or equal to 0" is valid.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
file_put_contents("datafile.txt", "abcdef");
var_dump(file_get_contents("datafile.txt", FALSE, NULL, 0, -1) );
var_dump(file_get_contents("datafile.txt", FALSE, NULL, 0, -5) );
?>
Expected result:
----------------
FATAL error is not expected. The negative value of maxlen should be handled with proper warning message.
Actual result:
--------------
string(6) "abcdef"

I mean the following: Testcase: <?php file_put_contents("data.txt", "abcdef"); var_dump( file_get_contents("data.txt", FALSE, NULL, -2) ); ?> Actual Output: string(6) "abcdef" I was asking whether negative values for offset is acceptable? I was suggesting to handle the negative offset values with a warning message similar to maxlen rather than output similar to that of offset=0.
