READABLE  = ['w', 'w+', 'a', 'a+', 'r', 'r+']
WRITABLE  = ['w', 'w+', 'a', 'a+', 'x', 'x+', 'c', 'c+']
List of modes that are either readable or writable, or both.
$handle  : resource|null
The handle used to manipulate the stream. This class basically is a PSR7 conforming wrapper around this stream.
$readable  : bool
$seekable  : bool
$writable  : bool
__construct()  : mixed
__toString()  : string
This is a convenience method to allow the printing of streams directly to the output, making it more convenient.
close()  : void
Closes the stream. After this method has been invoked, the stream will no longer be usable.
detach()  : resource|null
Detaches the stream from the underlying stream. Please note that this does not free the underlying resource.
eof()  : bool
Returns true if we hit the end of the stream or whether the stream can continue to be read from.
fromString()  : StreamInterface
getContents()  : string
Reads the remaining data from the stream into a string and returns it.
getMetadata()  : array<string|int, mixed>|mixed|null
Get stream metadata as an associative array or retrieve a specific key.
getSize()  : int|null
Returns the size (in bytes) of the stream. If the data is not available, the method returns a null value.
isReadable()  : bool
If the stream can be read from, this method will return true.
isSeekable()  : bool
Returns true if the stream allows being seeked through. Detached streams are implied to not be seekable (since they do not exist)
isWritable()  : bool
If the stream can be written to, this method will return true.
read()  : string
Read data from the stream. Please note that this will read from the position of the seek cursor onward.
rewind()  : void
Seek to the beginning of the stream.
seek()  : void
Seek to a position in the stream.
tell()  : int
Tells the current position of the seeking cursor on the stream. If the stream is not seekable this will fail with a runtime exception.
write()  : int
Write data to the stream.

Constants

READABLE

public mixed READABLE = ['w', 'w+', 'a', 'a+', 'r', 'r+']

WRITABLE

List of modes that are either readable or writable, or both.

public mixed WRITABLE = ['w', 'w+', 'a', 'a+', 'x', 'x+', 'c', 'c+']

Properties

$handle

The handle used to manipulate the stream. This class basically is a PSR7 conforming wrapper around this stream.

private resource|null $handle

$readable

private bool $readable

$seekable

private bool $seekable

$writable

private bool $writable

Methods

__construct()

public __construct(resource $handle, bool $seekable, bool $readable, bool $writable) : mixed
Parameters
$handle : resource
$seekable : bool
$readable : bool
$writable : bool
Return values
mixed

__toString()

This is a convenience method to allow the printing of streams directly to the output, making it more convenient.

public __toString() : string
Tags
throws
ApplicationException
Return values
string

close()

Closes the stream. After this method has been invoked, the stream will no longer be usable.

public close() : void
Return values
void

detach()

Detaches the stream from the underlying stream. Please note that this does not free the underlying resource.

public detach() : resource|null
Return values
resource|null

eof()

Returns true if we hit the end of the stream or whether the stream can continue to be read from.

public eof() : bool

If the stream is detached, this method returns true. Implying that the stream can not be read from any further.

Return values
bool

fromString()

public static fromString(string|StreamInterface $str) : StreamInterface
Parameters
$str : string|StreamInterface
Return values
StreamInterface

getContents()

Reads the remaining data from the stream into a string and returns it.

public getContents() : string
Return values
string

getMetadata()

Get stream metadata as an associative array or retrieve a specific key.

public getMetadata([string $key = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|mixed|null

The keys returned are identical to the keys returned from PHP's stream_get_meta_data() function.

Parameters
$key : string = null

Specific metadata to retrieve.

Tags
see
http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-get-meta-data.php
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>|mixed|null

Returns an associative array if no key is provided. Returns a specific key value if a key is provided and the value is found, or null if the key is not found.

getSize()

Returns the size (in bytes) of the stream. If the data is not available, the method returns a null value.

public getSize() : int|null
Return values
int|null

isReadable()

If the stream can be read from, this method will return true.

public isReadable() : bool
Return values
bool

isSeekable()

Returns true if the stream allows being seeked through. Detached streams are implied to not be seekable (since they do not exist)

public isSeekable() : bool
Return values
bool

isWritable()

If the stream can be written to, this method will return true.

public isWritable() : bool
Return values
bool

read()

Read data from the stream. Please note that this will read from the position of the seek cursor onward.

public read(int $length) : string
Parameters
$length : int

Read up to $length bytes from the object and return them. Fewer than $length bytes may be returned if underlying stream call returns fewer bytes.

Tags
throws
RuntimeException

on failure.

Return values
string

Returns the data read from the stream, or an empty string if no bytes are available.

rewind()

Seek to the beginning of the stream.

public rewind() : void

If the stream is not seekable, this method will raise an exception; otherwise, it will perform a seek(0).

seek()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php
throws
RuntimeException

on failure.

Return values
void

seek()

Seek to a position in the stream.

public seek(int $offset[, int $whence = SEEK_SET ]) : void
Parameters
$offset : int

Stream offset

$whence : int = SEEK_SET

Specifies how the cursor position will be calculated based on the seek offset. Valid values are identical to the built-in PHP $whence values for fseek(). SEEK_SET: Set position equal to offset bytes SEEK_CUR: Set position to current location plus offset SEEK_END: Set position to end-of-stream plus offset.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php
throws
RuntimeException

on failure.

Return values
void

tell()

Tells the current position of the seeking cursor on the stream. If the stream is not seekable this will fail with a runtime exception.

public tell() : int
Tags
throws
RuntimeException

on error.

Return values
int

Position of the file pointer

write()

Write data to the stream.

public write(string $string) : int
Parameters
$string : string

The string that is to be written.

Tags
throws
RuntimeException

on failure.

Return values
int

Returns the number of bytes written to the stream.
