ID: 54004 Updated by: cataphr...@php.net Reported by: asari at users dot sourceforge dot net Summary: proc_open() should accept php:// wrappers for file -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu x86) PHP Version: trunk-SVN-2011-02-12 (snap) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This cannot be done for php://output and, in most cases (though for the CLI it could be done), for php://input. The reason is that the output buffering chain cannot be written to through a simple file descriptor. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-13 00:59:03] asari at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.proc-open --- proc_open() can attach files for the child process' standard input/output/error, but can't attach php:// wrapper. As far as I tried, http:// wrapper works fine. If wrappers can be used for proc_open(), in many cases I think we can avoid complicated stream_select() programming using non-blocking i/o, as dk at brightbyte dot de does in http://www.php.net/function.shell-exec.php . Test script: --------------- <?php header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); proc_close(proc_open("zcat", array( 0 => array("file", "php://input", "r"), 1 => array("file", "php://output", "w"), 2 => array("file", "/dev/null", "a") ), $pipes)); Expected result: ---------------- Ungzip'ed content should be displayed when HTTP POST with gzip'ed request body or when executed in CLI with gzip'ed standard input.
