The best solution I’ve found is to identify and delete any files that are zero-bytes in length before re-running another copy. Since the zero-byte files will have a newer time stamp than the source data, they become impossible to “fix” without potentially affecting surrounding files. The problems come when you re-run the copy in the hope that the zero-byte files in the destination folder structure are updated with healthy ones from the source.


Your counter works nice.A common problem with data migration at the file level is that you can end up with users complaining of zero-length files.

Doing this will clear the file content and it will make sure that Nasty, isn't it? REMEMBER to open the file with the 'w' mode (truncate Value ( $incr ) it ads it ALONG the old value. Why? notice the second fopen -> $cont=fopen('cont.txt','a')

Watch out for mistakes in writting a simple code for a hit counter: Since the loop only breaks if fwrite() returns false or successfully writes all bytes, an infinite loop will occur on failure. This code is BAD, as a broken pipe will result in fwrite() infinitely looping with a return value of 0. You *must* check for a return value of 0 and either abort immediately or track a maximum number of retries.īelow is the example from the docs. This means the example fwrite_stream() code from the docs, as well as all the "helper" functions posted by others in the comments are all broken.

Therefore, looping with repeated calls to fwrite() until the sum of number of bytes written equals the strlen() of the full value or expecting false on error will result in an infinite loop if the connection is lost. Any other error, just as a broken pipe or closed connection, will result in a return value of less than strlen($string), in most cases 0. The function will only return false if you pass in invalid arguments.
