Methods

__construct()

This constructor accepts an associative array of options.

public __construct(resource $stream[, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : mixed
  • size: (int) If a read stream would otherwise have an indeterminate size, but the size is known due to foreknowledge, then you can provide that size, in bytes.
  • metadata: (array) Any additional metadata to return when the metadata of the stream is accessed.
Parameters
$stream : resource

Stream resource to wrap.

$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []
Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

if the stream is not a stream resource

Return values
mixed

__destruct()

Closes the stream when the destructed

public __destruct() : mixed
Return values
mixed

__toString()

Reads all data from the stream into a string, from the beginning to end.

public __toString() : string

This method MUST attempt to seek to the beginning of the stream before reading data and read the stream until the end is reached.

Warning: This could attempt to load a large amount of data into memory.

This method MUST NOT raise an exception in order to conform with PHP's string casting operations.

Return values
string

close()

Closes the stream and any underlying resources.

public close() : void
Return values
void

detach()

Separates any underlying resources from the stream.

public detach() : resource|null

After the stream has been detached, the stream is in an unusable state.

Return values
resource|null

Underlying PHP stream, if any

eof()

Returns true if the stream is at the end of the stream.

public eof() : bool
Return values
bool

getContents()

Returns the remaining contents in a string

public getContents() : string
Return values
string

getMetadata()

Get stream metadata as an associative array or retrieve a specific key.

public getMetadata([mixed $key = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
$key : mixed = null

Specific metadata to retrieve.

Return values
mixed

getSize()

Get the size of the stream if known.

public getSize() : int|null
Return values
int|null

Returns the size in bytes if known, or null if unknown.

isReadable()

Returns whether or not the stream is readable.

public isReadable() : bool
Return values
bool

isSeekable()

Returns whether or not the stream is seekable.

public isSeekable() : bool
Return values
bool

isWritable()

Returns whether or not the stream is writable.

public isWritable() : bool
Return values
bool

read()

Read data from the stream.

public read(mixed $length) : string
Parameters
$length : mixed

Read up to $length bytes from the object and return them. Fewer than $length bytes may be returned if underlying stream call returns fewer bytes.

Return values
string

Returns the data read from the stream, or an empty string if no bytes are available.

rewind()

Seek to the beginning of the stream.

public rewind() : void

If the stream is not seekable, this method will raise an exception; otherwise, it will perform a seek(0).

Return values
void

seek()

Seek to a position in the stream.

public seek(mixed $offset[, mixed $whence = SEEK_SET ]) : void
Parameters
$offset : mixed

Stream offset

$whence : mixed = SEEK_SET

Specifies how the cursor position will be calculated based on the seek offset. Valid values are identical to the built-in PHP $whence values for fseek(). SEEK_SET: Set position equal to offset bytes SEEK_CUR: Set position to current location plus offset SEEK_END: Set position to end-of-stream plus offset.

Return values
void

tell()

Returns the current position of the file read/write pointer

public tell() : int
Return values
int

Position of the file pointer

write()

Write data to the stream.

public write(mixed $string) : int
Parameters
$string : mixed

The string that is to be written.

Return values
int

Returns the number of bytes written to the stream.
