Re: Re: cvs: php4 / TODO-4.1.txt

Wez, I haven't had much time to go over it but it looks like it's definitely in the right direction. I've wanted to see something like this in PHP for a while. Any chance you can write a small readme file or add some explanations to the .h file to give people like me a small overview of the abstraction so that it will be easier to start diving into the code?

The main problem with doing this until now was that under Windows, it's pretty much impossible to get a FILE* from a socket. The right way to implement it would most probably be implementing something similar to C++'s virtual classes, so I'm wondering whether you did it that way... It's in CVS now - take a look at main/php_streams.h. It's a bit like implementing our own set of stdio functions and using those rather than the ANSI ones; these call down into the ANSI stdio or fds/sockets (or SSL sockets eventually) as appropriate. Casting into a FILE* just makes use of fdopen for sockets, or returns the underlying FILE* if there is one. We can only pass back a FILE* for something really alien if we have fopencookie. There's no real magic in it :-) If you can spot problems with this let me know! --Wez. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
