New Comment:

php.net's own manual shows that this should work. I'm not reading the
file, but rather just gathering a count of each line. As I stated,
this has always worked in previous versions of PHP, and is also many
tutorials and books, including "PHP and MySQL Web Development" (as I am
looking at the example right now) have shown an example almost
identical to what I've posted here on how to do such looping and
counting. I believe that the file pointer not moving is exactly the
problem (please correct me if I'm wrong). Is that not a bug, and if
not, what has changed between 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 that I have not noticed??
I see nothing of reference in the change log for 4.3.3

This always worked correct in previous versions of PHP. It wasn't
until the move to 4.3.3RC1 (from 4.3.2) that I had this infinite
looping problem.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
[url]http://www.php.net/manual/[/url] and the instructions on how to report
a bug at [url]http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php[/url]

Yes, b_ulrich is right.

Your example works correct:
while(!feof($open))
{
$count++;
}

must be an endless loop because the filepointer never moves.
Maybe you should do an fread($open,1024); inside the while loop. Or
what ever you want to count.

Description:
------------
In PHP 4.3.3RC1, feof (Windows) always returns false in the code
provided below, and goes into an endless loop.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$count = 0;
if ($handle = opendir("./"))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if(!is_dir($file) AND $file != '.' AND $file !='..' AND $file
!='default' AND (strstr($file, ".php") OR strstr($file, ".htm") OR
strstr($file, ".txt")))
{
if(!$open = fopen($file, "r"))
{
echo "Could Not Open File";
exit;
}
while(!feof($open))
{
$count++;
}
fclose($open);
}
}
}
echo $count;

Expected result:
----------------
123456
(or another number)

Actual result:
--------------
Infinite loop once a file is opened (I cut out the test code that I
used to verify that it's actually a bug in order to stay within the 20
line limit).
