PHP 7.0.6 Released

    The streamWrapper class

    (PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5, PHP 7)

    Introduction

    Allows you to implement your own protocol handlers and streams for use with all the other filesystem functions (such as fopen(), fread() etc.).

    Note:

    This is NOT a real class, only a prototype of how a class defining its own protocol should be.

    Note:

    Implementing the methods in other ways then described here can lead to undefined behaviour.

    An instance of this class is initialized as soon as a stream function tries to access the protocol it is associated with.

    Class synopsis

    public int stream_write ( string $data )
    public bool unlink ( string $path )
    public array url_stat ( string $path , int $flags )
    }

    Properties

    resource context

    The current context, or NULL if no context was passed to the caller function.

    Use the stream_context_get_options() to parse the context.

    Note:

    This property must be public so PHP can populate it with the actual context resource.

    Changelog

    Version Description
    5.0.0 Added the context property.

    It's worth noting that the interface defined by yannick at gmail should not always be implemented by a stream wrapper class, as several of the methods should not be implemented if the class has no use for them (as per the manual).

    Specifically, mkdir, rename, rmdir, and unlink are methods that "should not be defined" if the wrapper has no use for them. The consequence is that the appropriate error message will not be returned.

    If the interface is implemented, you won't have the flexibility to not implement those methods.

    Not trying to be academic, but it was useful for me.

    Here is a very simple stream wrapper which calls your callback function for reads:

    <?php

    class CallbackUrl
    {
        const     WRAPPER_NAME = 'callback';

        public     $context;
        private     $_cb;
        private     $_eof = false;

        private static     $_isRegistered = false;

        public static function     getContext($cb)
        {
            if (!    self::$_isRegistered) {
                    stream_wrapper_register(self::WRAPPER_NAME, get_class());
                    self::$_isRegistered = true;
            }
            if (!    is_callable($cb)) return false;
            return     stream_context_create(array(self::WRAPPER_NAME => array('cb' => $cb)));
        }

        public function     stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path)
        {
            if (!    preg_match('/^r[bt]?$/', $mode) || !$this->context) return false;
                $opt = stream_context_get_options($this->context);
            if (!    is_array($opt[self::WRAPPER_NAME]) ||
                !isset(    $opt[self::WRAPPER_NAME]['cb']) ||
                !    is_callable($opt[self::WRAPPER_NAME]['cb'])) return false;
                $this->_cb = $opt[self::WRAPPER_NAME]['cb'];
            return     true;
        }

        public function     stream_read($count)
        {
            if (    $this->_eof || !$count) return '';
            if ((    $s = call_user_func($this->_cb, $count)) == '') $this->_eof = true;
            return     $s;
        }

        public function     stream_eof()
        {
            return     $this->_eof;
        }
    }

    class     Test {
        private     $_s;
        public function     __construct($s)
        {
                $this->_s = $s;
        }
        public function     read($count) {
            return     fread($this->_s, $count);
        }
    }

    $t = new Test(fopen('/etc/services', 'r'));
    $fd = fopen('callback://', 'r', false, CallbackUrl::getContext(array($t, 'read')));
    while((    $buf = fread($fd, 128)) != '') {
        print     $buf;
    }
    ?>
