Doc #54228 [NEW]: PHP I/O doc page does not describe all options

From: Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:PHP I/O doc page does not describe all options Description: ------------ The documentation for "PHP Input/Output" describes many options, like stdin and output, but leaves lots of holes in describing the other options. For example, "filter" leaves the last line in "description" hanging, saying "The php://filter target takes the following 'parameters' as parts of its 'path'". That's the end of the section, no "following parameters". Of particular note, php://temp and php://memory are *completely* undefined, leaving just their names in there. Is temp written to a file? Is memory direct access? Can I use memory as temporary I/O for file-only functions without worrying if it's leaving a temp file laying around? And this bug report form seems very "documentation feedback unfriendly"... I really can't add anything to the script/patch/expected/actual fields, so I guess "take it or leave it", but I think anyone looking for info on those I/O options would be glad to have the options explained... --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/wrappers.php#Options --- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54228&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54228&r=mysqlcfg
