model a sequence of data elements made available over time
Write and read (or peek) from a string of characters.
$stream = new \WillWashburn\Stream\Stream();
$stream->write('foo');
$stream->read(3); //foo
$stream->write('bar');
$stream->write('bang');
$stream->read(4); // barb
$stream->peek(3); // ang
$stream->read(3); // ang
I mostly use this when buffering responses from curl requests.
$stream = new WillWashburn\Stream\Stream;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, function ($ch, $str) use (& $stream, $url) {
$stream->write($str);
try {
// do something with the stream
$characters = $stream->read(100);
// tell curl to stop the transfer when we find what we're looking for
if(strpos($characters,'string im looking for') !==false) {
return -1;
}
}
catch (StreamBufferTooSmallException $e) {
// The buffer ended, so keep getting more
return strlen($str);
}
// We return -1 to abort the transfer when we have enough buffered
return -1;
});
