## #38175 — Steph Fox — 2008-06-12T02:32:25+00:00

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
