Features -------- [](#features) - **Stream Manipulation**: Read from and write to streams with ease. - **PSR-7 Compatibility**: Conforms to the [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) standards for interoperability. - **Flexible**: Offers a comprehensive set of features for stream manipulation. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install PhpStreams via Composer: ``` composer require sandromiguel/php-streams ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) #### Try it on replit.com [](#try-it-on-replitcom) Try out the interactive examples on the replit.com platform: [Run on replit.com](https://replit.com/@SandroMiguel/PhpStreams) ### Text Stream in Memory [](#text-stream-in-memory) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use PhpStreams\Stream; // Create a text stream in memory $stream = new Stream(fopen('php://temp', 'r+')); // Write data to the stream $stream->write("Hello, world!\n"); // Move the pointer to the beginning of the stream $stream->rewind(); // Read data from the stream $data = $stream->getContents(); echo $data; ``` Output example ``` Hello, world! ``` ### Reading from a File [](#reading-from-a-file) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use PhpStreams\Stream; // Open a file for reading $fileHandle = fopen('example.txt', 'r'); // Create a stream from the file handle $fileStream = new Stream($fileHandle); // Check if the stream is readable $fileContents = $fileStream->isReadable() ? $fileStream->getContents() : null; if ($fileContents) { echo $fileContents; } else { echo "The file is not readable."; } // Close the file handle fclose($fileHandle); ``` Output example (if example.txt contains "Hello, my name is example.txt"): ``` Hello, my name is example.txt ``` ### Writing to a File [](#writing-to-a-file) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use PhpStreams\Stream; // Open a file for writing $fileHandle = fopen('write.txt', 'w'); // Create a stream from the file handle $fileStream = new Stream($fileHandle); // Check if the stream is writable $bytesWritten = $fileStream->isWritable() ? $fileStream->write('New text') : null; if ($bytesWritten) { echo "Bytes written: $bytesWritten"; } else { echo "The file is not writable."; } // Close the file handle fclose($fileHandle); ``` Output example (if writing is successful): ``` Bytes written: 8 ``` ### Reading a Specific Number of Bytes from a File [](#reading-a-specific-number-of-bytes-from-a-file) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use PhpStreams\Stream; // Open a file for reading $fileHandle = fopen('example.txt', 'r'); // Create a stream from the file handle $fileStream = new Stream($fileHandle); // Check if the stream is readable if ($fileStream->isReadable()) { // Define the exact number of bytes to read $numBytesToRead = 6; // Read 10 bytes from the file $data = $fileStream->read($numBytesToRead); // Output the read data echo "Read $numBytesToRead bytes of data: $data\n"; // Read the remaining content of the file $remainingData = $fileStream->getContents(); // Output the remaining data echo "Remaining data: $remainingData"; } else { echo "The file is not readable."; } // Close the file handle fclose($fileHandle); ``` Output example ``` Read 6 bytes of data: Hello, Remaining data: my name is example.txt ``` ### Getting Stream Metadata [](#getting-stream-metadata) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use PhpStreams\Stream; // Open a file for reading $fileHandle = fopen('example.txt', 'r'); // Create a stream from the file handle $fileStream = new Stream($fileHandle); // Get metadata of the stream $metadata = $fileStream->getMetadata(); // Output the metadata echo "Stream metadata:\n"; print_r($metadata); // Close the file handle fclose($fileHandle); ``` Output example ``` Stream metadata: Array ( [timed_out] => [blocked] => 1 [eof] => [wrapper_type] => plainfile [stream_type] => STDIO [mode] => r [unread_bytes] => 0 [seekable] => 1 [uri] => example.txt ) ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Want to contribute?
