Hi Ivan,
     php://memory/<id>
     php://temp/<id>/maxmemory:<size>
It's not that hard to write such an function in php. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-wrapper-register.php). Did I say it was hard? This is quite obvious to write such a wrapper, but PHP has php://memory. My proposal will save future work to users (and offer better performance because we stay in the PHP land).

I even once wrote an handler like "string://data-right-here" which allows to read (only) the "data-right-here" as a file. (I used it for a function which required a file and does not support strings directly, and instead of php://memory all data is freed when no longer used) Yes. I also have Hoa\Stringbuffer or some stuff like that. But, again, it will save future work to users.
