Could someone add that to the docs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-16 07:59:33] kalle@php.net Yes it only works for streams. You cannot store data in php://memory, and later use it in another stream: This will not work, because after file_put_contents() the stream will be closed and the data in php://memory will be lost: file_put_contents('php://memory', 'PHP'); echo file_get_contents('php://memory'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-30 17:01:21] nospam at mckenzies dot net The documentation referred to is: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-30 16:56:06] nospam at mckenzies dot net Description: ------------ The documentation for php://memory is incomplete. There is no example and there is no mention of what functions support the use of php://memory. Does it only work with streams? Reproduce code: --------------- $text = 'Some text.'; file_put_contents('php://memory', $text); echo file_get_contents('php://memory'); Expected result: ---------------- Some text. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50886&edit=1
