Example class registered as stream wrapper
The example below implements a var:// protocol handler that allows read/write access to a named global variable using standard filesystem stream functions such as fread(). The var:// protocol implemented below, given the URL "var://foo" will read/write data to/from $GLOBALS["foo"].
Example #1 A Stream for reading/writing global variables
<?php
class VariableStream {
var $position;
var $varname;
function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path)
{
$url = parse_url($path);
$this->varname = $url["host"];
$this->position = 0;
return true;
}
function stream_read($count)
{
$ret = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position, $count);
$this->position += strlen($ret);
return $ret;
}
function stream_write($data)
{
$left = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], 0, $this->position);
$right = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position + strlen($data));
$GLOBALS[$this->varname] = $left . $data . $right;
$this->position += strlen($data);
return strlen($data);
}
function stream_tell()
{
return $this->position;
}
function stream_eof()
{
return $this->position >= strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]);
}
function stream_seek($offset, $whence)
{
switch ($whence) {
case SEEK_SET:
if ($offset < strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]) && $offset >= 0) {
$this->position = $offset;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
break;
case SEEK_CUR:
if ($offset >= 0) {
$this->position += $offset;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
break;
case SEEK_END:
if (strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]) + $offset >= 0) {
$this->position = strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]) + $offset;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
break;
default:
return false;
}
}
function stream_metadata($path, $option, $var)
{
if($option == STREAM_META_TOUCH) {
$url = parse_url($path);
$varname = $url["host"];
if(!isset($GLOBALS[$varname])) {
$GLOBALS[$varname] = '';
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
stream_wrapper_register("var", "VariableStream")
or die("Failed to register protocol");
$myvar = "";
$fp = fopen("var://myvar", "r+");
fwrite($fp, "line1\n");
fwrite($fp, "line2\n");
fwrite($fp, "line3\n");
rewind($fp);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
fclose($fp);
var_dump($myvar);
?>
The above example will output:
line1 line2 line3 string(18) "line1 line2 line3 "
