A copy of the feature request description (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44392):
It would be nice if it would be possible to get the underlying resource handle of an SplFileObject to be able to add stream filters on the file. Sadly the URI parser in PHP seems to be broken and URIs with filters like php://filter/read=convert.iconv.ISO-8859-15/UTF-8/resource=... cannot be used (encoding the slash doesn't work either (%2F)) therefore it would be nice if one could access the underlying resource handle f.e. by providing a protected $fp in SplFileObject one could use in a child class then and do the stream_filter_append() there. --- I think this feature would prove to be useful. I also see no reason why the SplFileObject can't have this as a public method. Any objections to this? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
