close as it gets I think. - total overkill for manipulating strings IMHO - (me thinks there is atleast one other in agreement) - there is a reason php has all those built in string functions :-)

And there are good reasons why other very intelligent people thought that including such functionality directly in the C++ STL and many other libraries was a good idea too.

indeed - but php !== c++ obviously. personally I don't get your angle on this one, but like Jay I'd be interested to know how you think this might be useful - so if you could give an explicit (as poss.) example it might help us to understand.

Well, as I mentioned before, you are welcome to look into the surrounding useful examples for istringstream, etc. I can't think of a single reason why similar reasons why istringstream, etc. is useful would not apply to a php stream_wrapper for strings. As for why things like istringstream, etc. are useful, you can also head over comp.lang.c++ and ask...I, quite simply, have no interest in a debate or discussion I already know the final answer to....i.e. it is useful.

btw do you think the functionality surrounding stream_wrapper_register() will do it for you?

I don't see any reason why not at the moment. -- == Eric Gorr =============================== http://www.ericgorr.net === "I believe each individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other man's rights." - Abraham Lincoln == Insults, like violence, are the last refuge of the incompetent... ===
