note 59583 added to function.stream-context-create

Hi,you can create an array of parameters(what it's called a stream context),which can be transmitted each time you read or write a stream through a socket.In the below example: $opts =array('http'=>arra('method'=>"GET", 'header'=>"Accept-language:en\r\n"."Cookie: foo=bar\r\n"); What you're actually doing is create a set of parameters(the protocol to be used,the request method,additional http headers and a cookie) which will be used each time you open a socket connection to request www.example.com.This saves a lot of time if you want to use these parameters (called a stream context) whenever you include them when making a request to www.example.com,instead of having to specify them over and over again. Using the previous example,say you want to create a stream context,which sends a "Content-Type" http header and utilize it when making a request to www.example.com.Take a look: $opts = array('http'=>array('method'=>"GET", 'header'=>"Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8"); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $fp = fopen('http://www.example.com','r',false,$context); fpassthru($fp); fclose($fp); Now,when you make a request to www.example.com,the above http header will be included within the socket and transmitted to the server.Best of luck for you friends,Hossein ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59583 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59583&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59583&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
