fopen() and "!/n " after 982 characters

[mrcaveman]

I have a file on a web server that I want to email to an email address. The file looks ok on the server, but when it is sent to the email address as an attachment it is corrupted with "!/n " after 982 characters or 997 bytes. Or in words, ! linebreak space.

This is how it is mailed:

$fileinquestion = fopen ($root_path.'upload/portering.csv', 'a+');
$readfile = fgets ($fileinquestion);

mail($mail_to, 'File from server '.$date_in_subject, $readfile, $hdr);
fclose($fileinquestion); 
unlink($root_path.'new/admin/upload/portering.csv');

Does anyone know why?

can I see the contents of the "portering.csv" file?

[man]fgets/man will stop reading the file as soon as it sees a newline character. So if there are newline characters in your CSV, that's where it will stop reading. Consider using something like [man]file_get_contents[/man]. Don't forget also that according to the standard, lines in emails MUST not be more than 1000 characters in length (including the terminating \r\n, and SHOULD be no more than 80.

Incidentall,y if you're just reading the file, then a more appropriate mode to open it with than "a+" would be "r".
