Maybe something like get_registered_streams(). > That does sound like it'd be useful... Unfortunately there isn't a userland function for that. There *IS* however, a PHPAPI call for it: PHPAPI HashTable *php_stream_get_url_stream_wrappers_hash(); It wouldn't take much to make a userland wrapper for it since it already returns a hash table... stream_get_wrappers(); sounds like an appropriate name > When are certain streams not available, like, I assume > allow_url_fopen dictates the availability of the http stream? > FTP module for ftp, etc. > This is all documented in Apendix I (which is linked a couple times from ref.stream), do you think we need to go into it in detail on ref.stream as well? -Pollita Cross posting to php-dev re: addition of stream_get_wrappers() addition.
