Description:
------------
If a file consists of single line, and you use a straightforward loop over all 
lines using stream_get_line, you may be suprised that there are actually two 
lines, where the second one is empty string.

This is inconsistent with the case where you actually have two lines in a file, 
and stream_get_line reports two lines as expected without the additional empty 
third line.

This inconsistency makes it quite difficult to write a correct code.

Test script:
---------------
I have three files:

lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ hexdump -C one_line.txt
00000000  61 0a                                             |a.|
00000002
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ hexdump -C two_lines.txt
00000000  61 0a 62 0a                                       |a.b.|
00000004
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ hexdump -C two_lines_one_of_which_is_empty.txt
00000000  61 0a 0a                                          |a..|
00000003

And the following script:
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ cat test.php
<?php
while(!feof(STDIN)){
  $line = stream_get_line(STDIN,1000000,"\n");
  var_dump($line);
}
?>


Expected result:
----------------
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < one_line.txt
string(1) "a"
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < two_lines.txt
string(1) "a"
string(1) "b"
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < two_lines_one_of_which_is_empty.txt
string(1) "a"
string(0) ""


Actual result:
--------------
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < one_line.txt
string(1) "a"
string(0) ""
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < two_lines.txt
string(1) "a"
string(1) "b"
lopuszanski@vanisoft:~$ php test.php < two_lines_one_of_which_is_empty.txt
string(1) "a"
string(0) ""

Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&amp;revision=322582
Log: - Further fix for bug #60455 (stream_get_line misbehaves if EOF is not detected
  together with the last read).
- Fixed bug #60817 (stream_get_line() reads from stream even when there is
  already sufficient data buffered). stream_get_line() now behaves more like
  fgets(), as is documented.
