Subject: HEAD tests broken under Windows
From: steph@phparch.com ("Steph Fox")


Hi all,

I'm hopeful that run-tests.php will now work as advertised under CVS HEAD in 
most places. However it's still not right under Windows, and I finally 
tracked that down to the fact that file_put_contents() in PHP 6 will insist 
on creating a file with DOS line endings. The test files are created from 
.phpt --FILE-- sections using file_put_contents(), so there are a vast 
number of fails under doze due to an extra character in output strings 
there.

There's a *closed* PHP bug on this which was raised by Zoe over a year ago, 
see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41609. For some obscure reason it was 
seen as a documentation problem at the time. This is an extreme change in 
behaviour, not a documentation problem, and needs proper analysis.

Could someone please look into it?

Thanks,

- Steph
