SOLVED File Manager Extract causing PHP files to get double lines

[AndyX]

When I use the Extract function in File Manager, PHP files are being extracted with double lines.

Example:



The file should look like this:



The source file is a ZIP file I download from xenforo.com, it the latest version of their forum software. I upload the ZIP using Dreamweaver and then I use File Manager and Extract. I have tested on two different web hosts so I suspect this will be an issue with cPanel.

Thank you.

Hi Andy, I'm unable to duplicate this on a cPanel v70.0.23 server. What version are you on over there?

Thank you for testing.

I tried on two different web hosts:

68.0.33

and

11.62.0.40 -> shared web host with GoDaddy

Please use TextEdit to view the extracted file. When viewed inside cPanel using File Manage -> View the PHP file looks normal.

To be clear, you uploaded the zip, extract it, then selected download > Open with text edit, is that right?

Thank you for checking.

Here are the steps I took:

1) cPanel -> File manager -> Select ZIP file -> Extract
2) Dreamweaver (or use some other FTP program) -> download one of the extracted PHP files.
3) Open PHP file on my iMac using TextEdit.

That's exactly what I've done above, sans dreamweaver, I don't use it.

I was able to solve this issue by changing the "Connect using" from FTP to SFTP.

That setting is in Dreamweaver I take it? Interesting that the connection type would have an effect here with this.

The etc/ folder under the username was somehow moved to public_html/ so once that was moved back I could no longer FTP, so once I changed to SFTP in Dreamweaver I was able to FTP and also the issue with extract was resolved.
