fgets
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fgets — Читает строку из файла
Описание
$handle
[, int $length
] )Читает строку из файлового указателя.
Список параметров
-
handle -
Указатель на файл должен быть корректным и указывать на файл, успешно открытый функциями fopen() или fsockopen() (и все еще не закрытым функцией fclose()).
-
length -
Чтение заканчивается по достижении
length- 1 байт, если встретилась новая строка (которая включается в возвращаемый результат) или конец файла (что встретилось первым). Если длина не указана, чтение из потока будет продолжаться до тех пор, пока не достигнет конца строки.Замечание:
До версии PHP 4.3.0, опущение этого параметра означало, что длина строки будет равна 1024 символам. Если большинство строк в файле больше 8 килобайт, в целях производительности вашего скрипта стоит указать максимальную длину строки.
Возвращаемые значения
Возвращает строку размером в length - 1 байт, прочитанную
из дескриптора файла, на который указывает параметр handle.
Если данных для чтения больше нет, то возвращает FALSE.
В случае возникновения ошибки возвращает FALSE.
Список изменений
| Версия | Описание |
|---|---|
| 4.3.0 | fgets() теперь безопасна для обработки бинарных данных |
| 4.2.0 |
Параметр length стал необязательным

Примечания
Замечание: Если у вас возникают проблемы с распознаванием PHP концов строк при чтении или создании файлов на Macintosh-совместимом компьютере, включение опции auto_detect_line_endings может помочь решить проблему.
Замечание:
Программисты, привыкшие к семантике 'C' функции fgets(), должны принимать во внимание разницу в том, каким образом возвращается признак достижения конца файла (EOF).

If you need to read an entire file into a string, use file_get_contents(). fgets() is most useful when you need to process the lines of a file separately.If you need to simulate an un-buffered fgets so that stdin doesnt hang there waiting for some input (i.e. it reads only if there is data available) use this :
<?php
function fgets_u($pStdn) {
$pArr = array($pStdn);
if (false === ($num_changed_streams = stream_select($pArr, $write = NULL, $except = NULL, 0))) {
print("\$ 001 Socket Error : UNABLE TO WATCH STDIN.\n");
return FALSE;
} elseif ($num_changed_streams > 0) {
return trim(fgets($pStdn, 1024));
}
}
?>
Note that - afaik - fgets reads a line until it reaches a line feed (\\n). Carriage returns (\\r) aren't processed as line endings.
However, nl2br insterts a <br /> tag before carriage returns as well.
This is useful (but not nice - I must admit) when you want to store a more lines in one.
<?php
function write_lines($text) {
$file = fopen('data.txt', 'a');
fwrite($file, str_replace("\n", ' ', $text)."\n");
fclose($file);
}
function read_all() {
$file = fopen('data.txt', 'r');
while (!feof($file)) {
$line = fgets($file);
echo '<u>Section</u><p>nl2br'.($line).'</p>';
}
fclose($file);
}
?>
Try it.
Sometimes the strings you want to read from a file are not separated by an end of line character. the C style getline() function solves this. Here is my version:
<?php
function getline( $fp, $delim )
{
$result = "";
while( !feof( $fp ) )
{
$tmp = fgetc( $fp );
if( $tmp == $delim )
return $result;
$result .= $tmp;
}
return $result;
}
// Example:
$fp = fopen("/path/to/file.ext", 'r');
while( !feof($fp) )
{
$str = getline($fp, '|');
// Do something with $str
}
fclose($fp);
?>
Saku's example may also be used like this:
<?php
@ $pointer = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/foo.txt", "r"); // the @ suppresses errors so you have to test the pointer for existence
if ($pointer) {
while (!feof($pointer)) {
$preTEXT = fgets($pointer, 999);
// $TEXT .= $preTEXT; this is better for a string
$ATEXT[$I] = $preTEXT; // maybe better as an array
$I++;
}
fclose($pointer);
}
?>
It appears that fgets() will return FALSE on EOF (before feof has a chance to read it), so this code will throw an exception:
while (!feof($fh)) {
$line = fgets($fh);
if ($line === false) {
throw new Exception("File read error");
}
}
When working with VERY large files, php tends to fall over sideways and die.
Here is a neat way to pull chunks out of a file very fast and won't stop in mid line, but rater at end of last known line. It pulled a 30+ million line 900meg file through in ~ 24 seconds.
NOTE:
$buf just hold current chunk of data to work with. If you try "$buf .=" (note 'dot' in from of '=') to append $buff, script will come to grinding crawl around 100megs of data, so work with current data then move on!
//File to be opened
$file = "huge.file";
//Open file (DON'T USE a+ pointer will be wrong!)
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
//Read 16meg chunks
$read = 16777216;
//\n Marker
$part = 0;
while(!feof($fp)) {
$rbuf = fread($fp, $read);
for($i=$read;$i > 0 || $n == chr(10);$i--) {
$n=substr($rbuf, $i, 1);
if($n == chr(10))break;
//If we are at the end of the file, just grab the rest and stop loop
elseif(feof($fp)) {
$i = $read;
$buf = substr($rbuf, 0, $i+1);
break;
}
}
//This is the buffer we want to do stuff with, maybe thow to a function?
$buf = substr($rbuf, 0, $i+1);
//Point marker back to last \n point
$part = ftell($fp)-($read-($i+1));
fseek($fp, $part);
}
fclose($fp);
I would have expected the same behaviour from these bits of code:-
<?php
/*This times out correctly*/
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
/*This times out before eof*/
while ($line=fgets($fp)) {
echo $line;
}
/*A reasonable fix is to set a long timeout*/
stream_set_timeout($fp, 180);
while ($line=fgets($fp)) {
echo $line;
}
?>
I think that the quickest way of read a (long) file with the rows in reverse order is
<?php
$myfile = 'myfile.txt';
$command = "tac $myfile > /tmp/myfilereversed.txt";
passthru($command);
$ic = 0;
$ic_max = 100; // stops after this number of rows
$handle = fopen("/tmp/myfilereversed.txt", "r");
while (!feof($handle) && ++$ic<=$ic_max) {
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
echo $buffer."<br>";
}
fclose($handle);
?>
It echos the rows while it is reading the file so it is good for long files like logs.

Macintosh line endings mentioned in docs refer to Mac OS Classic. You don't need this setting for interoperability with unixish OS X.An easy way to authenticate Windows Domain users from scripts running on a non-Windows or non-Domain box - pass the submitted username and password to an IMAP service on a Windows machine.
<?php
$server = 'imapserver';
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pass';
if (authIMAP($user, $pass, $server)) {
echo "yay";
} else {
echo "nay";
}
function authIMAP($user, $pass, $server) {
$connection = fsockopen($server, 143, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$connection) return false;
$output = fgets($connection, 128); // banner
fputs($connection, "1 login $user $pass\r\n");
$output = fgets($connection, 128);
fputs($connection, "2 logout\r\n");
fclose($connection);
if (substr($output, 0, 4) == '1 OK') return true;
return false;
}
?>
fgets is SLOW for scanning through large files. If you don't have PHP 5, use fscanf($file, "%s\n") instead.For sockets, If you dont want fgets, fgetc etc... to block if theres no data there. set socket_set_blocking(handle,false); and socket_set_blocking(handle,true); to set it back again.There's an error in the documentation:
The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen() or fsockopen() (and not yet closed by fclose()).
You should also add "popen" and "pclose" to the documentation. I'm a new PHP developer and went to verify that I could use "fgets" on commands that I used with "popen".
fscanf($file, "%s\n") isn't really a good substitution for fgets(), since it will stop parsing at the first whitespace and not at the end of line!
(See the fscanf page for details on this)
I'm using this function to modify the header of a large postscript document on copy... Works extremely quickly so far...
function write($filename) {
$fh = fopen($this->sourceps,'r');
$fw = fopen($filename,'w');
while (!feof($fh)) {
$buffer = fgets($fh);
fwrite($fw,$buffer);
if (!$setupfound && ereg("^%%BeginSetup",$buffer)) {
$setupfound++;
if (array_key_exists("$filename",$this->output)) {
foreach ($this->output[$filename] as $function => $value) {
fwrite($fw,$value);
}
}
stream_copy_to_stream($fh,$fw);
}
}
fclose($fw);
fclose($fh);
}
The file pointer that fgets() uses can also be created with the proc_open() function and used with the stdout pipe created from the executed process.For large files, consider using stream_get_line rather than fgets - it can make a significant difference.

One thing I discovered with fgets, at least with PHP 5.1.6, is that you may have to use an IF statement to avoid your code running rampant (and possibly hanging the server). This can cause problems if you do not have root access on the server on which you are working.
This is the code I have implemented ($F1 is an array):
<?php
if($fh = fopen("filename","r")){
while (!feof($fh)){
$F1[] = fgets($fh,9999);
}
fclose($fh);
}
?>
I have noticed that without the IF statement, fgets seems to ignore when $fh is undefined (i.e., "filename" does not exist). If that happens, it will keep attempting to read from a nonexistent filehandle until the process can be administratively killed or the server hangs, whichever comes first.
Some people try to call feof before fgets, and then ignoring the return value of fgets. This method leads to processing value FALSE when reaching the end of file.
Bad example:
<?php
$f = fopen ("fgetstest.php", "r");
$ln= 0;
while (! feof ($f)) {
$line= fgets ($f);
++$ln;
printf ("%2d: ", $ln);
if ($line===FALSE) print ("FALSE\n");
else print ($line);
}
fclose ($f);
?>
Good example:
<?php
$f = fopen ("fgetstest.php", "r");
$ln= 0;
while ($line= fgets ($f)) {
++$ln;
printf ("%2d: ", $ln);
if ($line===FALSE) print ("FALSE\n");
else print ($line);
}
fclose ($f);
?>
There seems to be an interaction between sockets and the auto_detect_line_endings setting that can cause rather peculiar behavior. Apparently, if the first line read from a socket is split across two TCP packets, the detector will look at the first TCP packet and determine that the system uses MacOS (\r) line endings, even though the LF is contained in the next packet. For example, this affected the PEAR Net_SMTP package, which would fail mysteriously for only some email servers.WARNING! fgets() and I presume any read() call to a file handle, e.g.
while(!feof(STDIN)) {
$line = fgets(STDIN);
...do something useful with $line...
}
...will result in a timeout after a default time of 60 seconds on my install. This behavior is non standard (not POSIX like) and seems to me to be a bug, or if not a major caveat which should be documented more clearly.
After the timeout fgets() will return FALSE (=== FALSE), however, you can check to see if the stream (file handle) has really closed by checking feof($stream), e.g.
while(!feof(STDIN)) {
$line = fgets(STDIN);
if($line === FALSE) {
if(feof(STDIN)) {
break;
}
continue;
}
...do something useful with $line...
}
Regarding Leigh Purdie's comment (from 4 years ago) about stream_get_line being better for large files, I decided to test this in case it was optimized since then and I found out that Leigh's comment is just completely incorrect
fgets actually has a small amount of better performance, but the test Leigh did was not set up to produce good results
The suggested test was:
$ time yes "This is a test line" | head -1000000 | php -r '$fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while($line=stream_get_line($fp,65535,"\n")) { 1; } fclose($fp);'
0m1.616s
$ time yes "This is a test line" | head -1000000 | php -r '$fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while($line=fgets($fp,65535)) { 1; } fclose($fp);'
0m7.392s
The reason this is invalid is because the buffer size of 65535 is completely unnecessary
piping the output of "yes 'this is a test line'" in to PHP makes each line 19 characters plus the delimiter
so while I don't know why stream_get_line performs better with an oversize buffer, if both buffer sizes are correct, or default, they have a negligable performance difference - although notably, stream_get_line is consistent - however if you're thinking of switching, make sure to be aware of the difference between the two functions, that stream_get_line does NOT append the delimiter, and fgets DOES append the delimiter
Here are the results on one of my servers:
Buffer size 65535
stream_get_line: 0.340s
fgets: 2.392s
Buffer size of 1024
stream_get_line: 0m0.348s
fgets: 0.404s
Buffer size of 8192 (the default for both)
stream_get_line: 0.348s
fgets: 0.552s
Buffer size of 100:
stream_get_line: 0.332s
fgets: 0.368s
A better example, to illustrate the differences in speed for large files, between fgets and stream_get_line.
This example simulates situations where you are reading potentially very long lines, of an uncertain length (but with a maximum buffer size), from an input source.
As Dade pointed out, the previous example I provided was much to easy to pick apart, and did not adequately highlight the issue I was trying to address.
Note that specifying a definitive end-character for fgets (ie: newline), generally decreases the speed difference reasonably significantly.
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$plaintext=file_get_contents('http://loripsum.net/api/60/verylong/plaintext'); # Should be around 90k characters
$plaintext=str_replace("\n"," ",$plaintext); # Get rid of newlines
$fp=fopen("/tmp/SourceFile.txt","w");
for($i=0;$i<100000;$i++) {
fputs($fp,substr($plaintext,0,rand(4096,65534)) . "\n");
}
fclose($fp);
$fp=fopen("/tmp/SourceFile.txt","r");
$start=microtime(true);
while($line=fgets($fp,65535)) {
1;
}
$end=microtime(true);
fclose($fp);
$delta1=($end - $start);
$fp=fopen("/tmp/SourceFile.txt","r");
$start=microtime(true);
while($line=stream_get_line($fp,65535)) {
1;
}
$end=microtime(true);
fclose($fp);
$delta2=($end - $start);
$pdiff=$delta1/$delta2;
print "stream_get_line is " . ($pdiff>1?"faster":"slower") . " than fgets - pdiff is $pdiff\n";
?>
$ ./testcase.php
stream_get_line is faster than fgets - pdiff is 1.760398041785
Note that, in a vast majority of situations in which php is employed, tiny differences in speed between system calls are of negligible importance.
For anyone who wants a proper non-blocking fgets for sockets, there is a tiny snippet that does just that (performance should be horrible compared to fgets though):
<?php
function read_line_nb($handle)
{
static $buffer = '';
static $lastOffset = 0;
$buffer .= fread($handle, 0x1000);
if (preg_match('#\\R#', $buffer, $m, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $lastOffset)) {
$line = substr($buffer, 0, $m[0][1] + strlen($m[0][0]));
$buffer = substr($buffer, $m[0][1] + strlen($m[0][0]));
return $line;
}
$lastOffset = strlen($buffer);
return false;
}
?>
I had loads of trouble while reading with fgets on a WAMP (Windows server). On local the file went unto a <pre> tag without a hitch, but when I moved the code to a LAMP production server, every \r\n created two fgets and I got free empty lines.
I tried deleting with $string=str_replace("\r\n","\n",$string); but it had no effect whatsoever. The solution was to do an fread() and explode the contents by PHP_EOL and do a foreach($lines as $line) so every line did not get duplicated.
Here is the example code:
$file=fopen("test.txt,"r");
$text=fread($file,filesize("test.txt"));
$lines=explode(PHP_EOL,$text);
foreach($lines as $line)
{
// Do something
}
Even if this is not really related to PHP and its internals take care when using fgets for reading input from CLI on Linux systems as it may behave unexpected because of the limitations of arguments length on these systems. For example doing rtrim(fgets(STDIN), "\n") on a user input larger than 4095 characters will cut the the input string to 4095 characters. This shortcoming can be solved using "stty -icanon" before the script run, followed by a "stty icanon" after the script is run.Error in the example number 1 of this page.
change this line:
$buffer = fgets($fd, 4096);
into:
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);

It's strange no one mentions "0" in this context.
Since "0" is considered to be false, a line with a single "0" can be treated as EOF if using the while assign idiom.
while ($line = fgets(STDIN, 2)) {
}
This may surprisingly break if a line starts with ")"
if you for some reason need to get lines from a string instead of a file pointer, try
<?php
function string_gets(string $source, int $offset = 0, string $delimiter = "\n"): ?string
{
$len = strlen($source);
if ($len < $offset) {
// out of bounds.. maybe i should throw an exception
return null;
}
if ($len === $offset) {
// end of string..
return null;
}
$delimiter_pos = strpos($source, $delimiter, $offset);
if ($delimiter_pos === false) {
// last line.
return substr($source, $offset);
}
return substr($source, $offset, ($delimiter_pos - $offset) + strlen($delimiter));
}
?>
(i had a ~16GB string in-memory i needed to process line-by-line, but i would get memory-allocation-crash (on a 32GB ram system) if i tried explode("\n",$str); , so came up with this.. interestingly, fgets() seems to be faster than doing it in-ram-in-php, though. php 7.3.7)
