Req #42929 [Com]: Cannot access the old stream wrapper from a wrapper class

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42929&edit=1 ID: 42929 Comment by: neufeind@php.net Reported by: woodsmailbox at yahoo dot com Summary: Cannot access the old stream wrapper from a wrapper class Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Streams related Operating System: WinXP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Only way around this seems to be to inside your wrapper-function then to call stream_wrapper_restore(), perform the work on your regular filesystem and before the end re-register your stream-wrapper. While it's sort of a "hack" this way we successfully created a wrapper that overlays certain directories/files but passes through all others to the real file-layer. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-12 14:48:28] woodsmailbox at yahoo dot com I also think getcwd() and chdir() should be open for stream-wrapping for the relative paths to work with a wrapper for the default "file" scheme. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 14:52:42] woodsmailbox at yahoo dot com ... Another feature that could get me out of this chicken and egg problem would be to be able to alias a built-in wrapper protocol in its current configuration (i.e. with it's current handler class). I would happily alias "file:" to "filesystem:" and then register my own wrapper class to the "file:" protocol and use the "filesystem:" protocol internally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 14:24:48] woodsmailbox at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ I would like to "wrap" a stream wrapper, and this would include calling the original wrapper's methods from my wrapper class. For instance, I would like to implement versioning over the file:// protocol but I cannot access the filesystem while my file:// wrapper is registered. It would be nice to be able to use the classes of built-in wrappers. Also, I can't find the php function to change the default wrapper so I can have relative paths handled by my wrapper. A lot of app. code not under my control use relative paths. I could register my own file:// wrapper but then again... My current workaround is to call stream_wrapper_restore() inside my wrapper's functions, do my thing with the filesystem, then call stream_wrapper_register() again, but I think this sucks. I hope php is doing no more than changing some pointers internally when I call these functions, otherwise, the performance of my wrapper is gone. Thanx.
