ftell
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ftell — Сообщает текущую позицию чтения/записи файла
Описание
int ftell
( resource
$handle
)
Возвращает позицию файлового указателя handle
.
Список параметров
Возвращаемые значения
Возвращает позицию файлового указателя handle
в виде целого числа, т.е. его смещение в файловом потоке.
При возникновении ошибки возвращает FALSE
.
Замечание: Так как тип integer в PHP является целым числом со знаком и многие платформы используют 32-х битные целые числа, то некоторые функции файловых систем могут возвращать неожиданные результаты для файлов размером больше 2ГБ.
Примеры
Пример #1 Пример использования функции ftell()
<?php
// открываем файл и читаем немного данных
$fp = fopen("/etc/passwd", "r");
$data = fgets($fp, 12);
// где же мы ?
echo ftell($fp); // 11
fclose($fp);
?>

When trying to determine whether or not something was piped into a command line script, it is not smart to do a fgets(STDIN), because it will wait indefenitely if nothing is piped. Instead, I found ftell on STDIN to be very handy: it will return an integer of zero when something was piped, and nothing if nothing was piped to the script.
#!/usr/bin/php4 -q
<?
#following will hang if nothing is piped:
#$sometext = fgets(STDIN, 256)
$tell = ftell(STDIN);
if (is_integer($tell)==true)
{echo "Something was piped: ".fread(STDIN,256)."\n";}
else
{echo "Nothing was piped\n";}
?>
Actually, ftell() gives more than an undefined result for append only streams; it gives the offset from the end of the file as defined before any data was appended. So if you open a file that had 3017 characters, and append 41 characters, and then execute ftell(), the value returned will be 41.
Attention! If you open a file with the "text"-modifier (e.g. 'rt') and the file contains \r\n as line-endings, ftell() returns the position as if there were only \n as line-endings.
Example:
If the first line only contains 1 char followed by \r\n, the start of the second line should be position 3. (1char + \r + \n = 3 bytes) But ftell() will return 2 - ignoring one byte. If you call ftell() in line 3, the value will differ from the real value by 2 bytes. The error gets greater with every line.
(Watched this behavior in PHP 5.0.4 for Windows.)
BUT: fseek() works as expected - using the true byte values.
In response to php at michielvleugel dot com:
This does not seem to be the case with PHP 5.2.0 and FreeBSD 5.4.
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$tell = ftell(STDIN);
var_dump($tell);
?>
root@localhost:/home/david# echo Hello World | ./test.php
int(0)
root@localhost:/home/david# ./test.php
int(6629927)
When something is piped to the script, it returns an integer value of 0, however, it also returns an integer when nothing is piped to the script.
The code should be modified to this:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$tell = ftell(STDIN);
if ($tell === 0)
echo "Something was piped: " . fread(STDIN,256) . "\n";
else
echo "Nothing was piped\n";
?>
And the result is:
root@localhost:/home/david# echo Hello World | ./test.php
Something was piped: Hello World
root@localhost:/home/david# ./test.php
Nothing was piped
When opening a file to append via fopen('file','ab') the file pointer should be at the end of the file. However ftell() returns int(0) even if the file is not empty and even after writing some text into the file.
When opening a file for reading and writing via fopen('file','a+') the file pointer should be at the end of the file. However ftell() returns int(0) even if the file is not empty. Also it seems that there is two pointers, first for reading and second for writing, because it acts differently on first operation (reading or writing).
Example:
<?php
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'w');
fwrite($file, '123456789');
fclose($file);
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'r');
echo ftell($file) . ' "' . fgets($file) . '" ' . ftell($file) . PHP_EOL;
fclose($file);
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'a+');
echo ftell($file) . ' "' . fgets($file) . '" ' . ftell($file) . PHP_EOL;
fclose($file);
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'r+');
fwrite($file, 'rr');
echo ftell($file) . ' "' . fgets($file) . '" ' . ftell($file) . PHP_EOL;
fclose($file);
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'a+');
fwrite($file, 'aa');
echo ftell($file) . ' "' . fgets($file) . '" ' . ftell($file) . PHP_EOL;
fclose($file);
$file = fopen('counter.txt', 'r');
echo ftell($file) . ' "' . fgets($file) . '" ' . ftell($file) . PHP_EOL;
fclose($file);
?>
Result:
0 "123456789" 9
0 "123456789" 9
2 "3456789" 9
2 "" 2
0 "rr3456789aa" 11
Had to use
<?php
posix_isatty(STDIN) == false
?>
instead of
<?php
ftell(STDIN) !== false
?>
after upgrade from php 7 to 8 on ubuntu.
