Введение

Streams were introduced with PHP 4.3.0 as a way of generalizing file, network, data compression, and other operations which share a common set of functions and uses. In its simplest definition, a stream is a resource object which exhibits streamable behavior. That is, it can be read from or written to in a linear fashion, and may be able to fseek() to an arbitrary locations within the stream.

A wrapper is additional code which tells the stream how to handle specific protocols/encodings. For example, the http wrapper knows how to translate a URL into an HTTP/1.0 request for a file on a remote server. There are many wrappers built into PHP by default (See Прил. M), and additional, custom wrappers may be added either within a PHP script using stream_wrapper_register(), or directly from an extension using the API Reference in Гл. 44. Because any variety of wrapper may be added to PHP, there is no set limit on what can be done with them. To access the list of currently registered wrappers, use stream_get_wrappers().

A stream is referenced as: scheme://target

• scheme(string) - The name of the wrapper to be used. Examples include: file, http, https, ftp, ftps, compress.zlib, compress.bz2, and php. See Прил. M for a list of PHP builtin wrappers. If no wrapper is specified, the function default is used (typically file://).

• target - Depends on the wrapper used. For filesystem related streams this is typically a path and filename of the desired file. For network related streams this is typically a hostname, often with a path appended. Again, see Прил. M for a description of targets for builtin streams.

Stream Filters

A filter is a final piece of code which may perform operations on data as it is being read from or written to a stream. Any number of filters may be stacked onto a stream. Custom filters can be defined in a PHP script using stream_filter_register() or in an extension using the API Reference in Гл. 44. To access the list of currently registered filters, use stream_get_filters().

Stream Contexts

A context is a set of parameters and wrapper specific options which modify or enhance the behavior of a stream. Contexts are created using stream_context_create() and can be passed to most filesystem related stream creation functions (i.e. fopen(), file(), file_get_contents(), etc...).

Options can be specified when calling stream_context_create(), or later using stream_context_set_option(). A list of wrapper specific options can be found with the list of built-in wrappers (See Прил. M).

In addition, parameters may be set on a context using stream_context_set_params(). Currently the only context parameter supported by PHP is notification. The value of this parameter must be the name of a function to be called when an event occurs on a stream. The notification function called during an event should accept the following six parameters:

notification_code and severity are numerical values which correspond to the STREAM_NOTIFY_* constants listed below. If a descriptive message is available from the stream, message and message_code will be populated with the appropriate values. The meaning of these values is dependent on the specific wrapper in use. bytes_transferred and bytes_max will be populated when applicable.

Установка

Streams are an integral part of PHP as of version 4.3.0. No steps are required to enable them.

Stream Classes

User designed wrappers can be registered via stream_wrapper_register(), using the class definition shown on that manual page.

class php_user_filter is predefined and is an abstract baseclass for use with user defined filters. See the manual page for stream_filter_register() for details on implementing user defined filters.

Предопределенные константы

Перечисленные ниже константы определены данным расширением и могут быть доступны только в том случае, если PHP был собран с поддержкой этого расширения или же в том случае, если данное расширение подгружается во время выполнения.

Stream Errors

As with any file or socket related function, an operation on a stream may fail for a variety of normal reasons (i.e.: Unable to connect to remote host, file not found, etc...). A stream related call may also fail because the desired stream is not registered on the running system. See the array returned by stream_get_wrappers() for a list of streams supported by your installation of PHP. As with most PHP internal functions if a failure occurs an E_WARNING message will be generated describing the nature of the error.

Примеры

Пример 1. Using file_get_contents() to retrieve data from multiple sources <?php /* Read local file from /home/bar */ $localfile = file_get_contents("/home/bar/foo.txt"); /* Identical to above, explicitly naming FILE scheme */ $localfile = file_get_contents("file:///home/bar/foo.txt"); /* Read remote file from www.example.com using HTTP */ $httpfile  = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/foo.txt"); /* Read remote file from www.example.com using HTTPS */ $httpsfile = file_get_contents("https://www.example.com/foo.txt"); /* Read remote file from ftp.example.com using FTP */ $ftpfile   = file_get_contents("ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/foo.txt"); /* Read remote file from ftp.example.com using FTPS */ $ftpsfile  = file_get_contents("ftps://user:pass@ftp.example.com/foo.txt"); ?>

Пример 2. Making a POST request to an https server <?php /* Send POST request to https://secure.example.com/form_action.php * Include form elements named "foo" and "bar" with dummy values */ $sock = fsockopen("ssl://secure.example.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$sock) die("$errstr ($errno)\n"); $data = "foo=" . urlencode("Value for Foo") . "&bar=" . urlencode("Value for Bar"); fwrite($sock, "POST /form_action.php HTTP/1.0\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "Host: secure.example.com\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "Accept: */*\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "$data\r\n"); fwrite($sock, "\r\n"); $headers = ""; while ($str = trim(fgets($sock, 4096)))   $headers .= "$str\n"; echo "\n"; $body = ""; while (!feof($sock))   $body .= fgets($sock, 4096); fclose($sock); ?>

Пример 3. Writing data to a compressed file <?php /* Create a compressed file containing an arbitrarty string * File can be read back using compress.zlib stream or just * decompressed from the command line using 'gzip -d foo-bar.txt.gz' */ $fp = fopen("compress.zlib://foo-bar.txt.gz", "wb"); if (!$fp) die("Unable to create file."); fwrite($fp, "This is a test.\n"); fclose($fp); ?>
