Allow stream based access to any variable.

Stream_Var

Allow stream based access to any variable.

Stream_Var can be registered as a stream with stream_register_wrapper() and allows stream based acces to variables in any scope.

Arrays are treated as directories, so it is possible to replace temporary directories and files in your application with variables.

Usage

One example use case for Stream_Var is temporarily modifying data for code that only uses file functions:

<?php
require_once 'Stream/Var.php';
stream_wrapper_register('var', 'Stream_Var');

$GLOBALS['somefile'] = "blah blah blah\n";

echo file_get_contents('var://GLOBALS/somefile');
//outputs "blah blah blah\n"
?>
