STREAM_WRAPPER_REGISTER(3)						 1						STREAM_WRAPPER_REGISTER(3)

stream_wrapper_register - Register a URL wrapper implemented as a PHP class

SYNOPSIS

       bool stream_wrapper_register (string  $protocol, string	$classname, [int  $flags])

DESCRIPTION

	Allows you to implement your own protocol handlers and streams for use with all the other filesystem functions (such as fopen(3), fread(3)
       etc.).

PARAMETERS

	      o $protocol
		- The wrapper name to be registered.

	      o $classname
		- The classname which implements the $protocol.

	      o $flags
		- Should be set to STREAM_IS_URL if $protocol is a URL protocol. Default is 0, local stream.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       stream_wrapper_register(3) will return FALSE if the $protocol already has a handler.

	      How to register a stream wrapper

	      <?php
	      $existed = in_array("var", stream_get_wrappers());
	      if ($existed) {
		  stream_wrapper_unregister("var");
	      }
	      stream_wrapper_register("var", "VariableStream");
	      $myvar = "";

	      $fp = fopen("var://myvar", "r+");

	      fwrite($fp, "line1
");
	      fwrite($fp, "line2
");
	      fwrite($fp, "line3
");

	      rewind($fp);
	      while (!feof($fp)) {
		  echo fgets($fp);
	      }
	      fclose($fp);
	      var_dump($myvar);

	      if ($existed) {
		  stream_wrapper_restore("var");
	      }

	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      line1
	      line2
	      line3
	      string(18) "line1
