It doesn't sound dumb at all; that is (in effect) what the streams are already doing :-) It's made a bit more complicated because we have potentially a very wide variety of options/settings, and we also have a two or more layer system: a stream might be wrapped, and/or it may contain other streams; the single context parameter holds the options hash for all those associated streams and their wrappers. I did forget to mention that file_context_set_option($fp, array(...)) should also be supported, to reduce the number of function calls that need to be made, and simplify the php scripts. --Wez.
