Hi. I'm running 2.3.2 on a FreeBSD machine and yesterday the PM:s sent started not to have any message body. The text gets written into the file, and the table fud_pmsg seems to be correctly updated, except that length is set to 0.
Any ideas what this may be?
The problem appeared after I upgraded the machine to newest mod_php4, so I suspect that is a part of the problem... but how?

First of all try upgrading to 2.3.9RC1 (latest release in the 2.3.X) branch and try again, unless you can/want to upgrade to 2.5.0.
The problem could the result of fwrite or ftell not returning the correct result, but rather returning 0. This a a problem you occasionaly see on systems where there is a limit on the maximum size a file can grow to.
One thing you could try, is to run a message compactor, which will remove some of the unneeded stuff from the data files (where message bodies) are stored reducing their size.

Which version of php4 are you using now and which version were you using beforfe?
I do see how your addition fixes the problem, you force php to go to the end of the file. However this operation should not be necessary since
<?php
fopen("file", "ab");
?>
should place the file pointer at the end of the file.
Since this sort of an addition is not in 2.5.0 you can for now hold off upgrading while I investiage this issue further.
Meanwhile please try the following test script and let me know what are the results.
<?php
$fp = fopen("test", "w");
fwrite($fp, str_repeat("abc", 1024));
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen("test", "a");
echo "Before fseek()\n";
var_dump(ftell($fp), filesize("test"));
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_END);
echo "After fseek()\n";
var_dump(ftell($fp), filesize("test"));
fclose($fp);
?>

Hmm that's the same version I am using as well... and interestingly enough I was able to replicate the problem on linux as well.
For now do not upgrade I will investigate the issue further to determine if this is a PHP bug or intended behaviour (comments in php manual by other users indicate that this was the case for a while now) and consider an appropriate solution. For now, use your fix and keep an eye for the 2.5.1 release, which will definately have some sort of a solution to this problem.
