The php://memory, and its respectful sibling php://temp, appear very useful when we need to compute streams on-the-fly. They offer a lot of services, like avoiding HDD accesses, increasing speed... and through a straightforward API /à la/ PHP, e.g. fopen('php://memory', 'r+'). However, we always work on the same "bucket"/space of data (per runtime), which prevent us to use two different streams at a time. My proposal is to allow access to many "buckets"/spaces to php://memory and its sibling.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Each time you open a php://memory stream, you're working on a new "bucket", right? $ cat a.php && php a.php <?php $f1 = fopen("php://memory", "r+"); $f2 = fopen("php://memory", "r+"); fwrite($f1, "foobar"); array_map(function($f) { rewind($f); var_dump(stream_get_contents($f)); }, [$f1, $f2]); string(6) "foobar" string(0) "" -- Gustavo Lopes
