Req #38025 [Com]: Missing stream wrapper methods

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38025&edit=1 ID: 38025 Comment by: james at gogo dot co dot nz Reported by: flconseil at yahoo dot fr Summary: Missing stream wrapper methods Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: I will add also that if touch() gets called with a (normally stream wrapped) URL, it actually attempts to touch a file by that name on the local file system, most likely unsuccessfully (producing a WARNING) but there is no particular reason why it could not be successful in some situation. Better/safer behavior would be to give an ERROR that you are trying to touch a stream wrapped file which can't be touched (or preferably of course, implement the ability for stream wrappers to accommodate touch()). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-25 18:36:28] james at gogo dot co dot nz In the 4 years since this bug/feature request was reported, flock() has been implemented. I can not see any documentation to indicate that touch(), chmod() etc... are possible to implement with stream wrappers yet. url_stat() is able to provide read access for these data points, but there is no means to provide the write access. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-06 16:59:40] flconseil at yahoo dot fr Description: ------------ The following functions cannot be implemented in a stream wrapper because the corresponding methods don't exist : - chgrp & lchgrp - chown &lchown - chmod - flock - link & symlink/readlink - touch To be confirmed for : - ftruncate - realpath For most of these (links, owner, mode), as the values can be returned by stat/lstat() calls, PHP should provide a way to set/modify them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38025&edit=1
