Re: Getting an external param into a userspace streams filter...

Hi David, user filters are in a little bit of flux atm. However, the idea is that the param argument will be altered to be a zval (rather than just a string). In the oncreate() method, the following member variables are available to the filter: string $this->filtername; // name of the filter mixed $this->params; // params passed from prepend/append func Hope this helps; please only use current CVS for PHP 5 for playing around with this stuff; if you run into problems let me (and Sara <pollita@php.net>) know and we can sort them out. --Wez.
