11720 character bug?

Anon

I have a very simple script ...

$file = fopen("http://www.ieweb.biz/dev/source.txt", "r");
$contents = fgets($file, 56000);

if (ereg("<title>(.*)</title>", $contents, $out)) {
$title = $out[1];
echo $title;
$break;
}

The source text file is just the source of Yahoo.com's main page.

If I do a ereg on this file it outputs nothing. But if I trim the file to 11720 characters or less (11721 or more is bad), it outputs the Title fine. I have never seen or heard of anything like this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Have you check what appear on the 11720th character in this file ? May be some special char. ? Some newline char ? (remember me the '0' (zero) char for C language)

Yes, I chopped the whole thing just to see what character it stops on. It's just a html tag ... I think it stopped in the middle of a font tag. I can change the text to anything though and it will stop.

Is there a limit within PHP that a line can't be greater than 11720 chars?

Thanks
