[RFC] Factory for Stream Wrappers

We (Arne Blankerts, Stefan Priebsch, Benjamin Eberlei, and I) have worked on/with code where a factory for stream wrappers would be very helpful. Earlier this year we talked to Ilia about this at ConFoo and he was open to the idea but did not have the time to implement it. At FrOSCon we talked to Johannes about this and he volunteered to implement it; which he did. We now have an RFC at [1] and an initial patch at [2]. Benjamin will write tests in the next couple of days. We know that we are "late to the party" but we do think that this would be a good addition to PHP 5.4. -- [1] https://wiki.php.net/rfc/streamwrapper-factory [2] http://schlueters.de/~johannes/php/stream_factory.diff -- Sebastian Bergmann Co-Founder and Principal Consultant http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://thePHP.cc/
