Having problems reading/writing the php://temp stream
php://temp
is not a file path, it's a pseudo protocol that always creates a new random temp file when used. The /test
is actually being ignored entirely. The only extra "arguments" the php://temp
wrapper accepts is /maxmemory:n
. You need to keep a file handle around to the opened temp stream, or it will be discarded:
$tmp = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
fwrite($tmp, 'test');
rewind($tmp);
fpassthru($tmp);
fclose($tmp);
See http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php#refsect1-wrappers.php-examples
Each time, when you use fopen to get handler, content of php://temp will be flushed. Use rewind() and stream_get_contents() to get content. Or, use normal cachers, like APC or memcache :)
