Hi Markus, (Sorry: I think I deleted the most relevant mail, so I'm replying to this one :-)
Thanks for your work on the memory streams; I have a couple of comments about them: As they stand now, it is only possible to write in append mode. (Or it looked that way from my quick glance). It would be really good if data could be written over existing data if the stream is seek()ed. Using the memory stream as an alternative when you need to seek a possibly unseekable stream is good for smaller data, but what about larger data? I'm planning an API that will give you back a seekable stream so the logic to determine when and what type of alternative to use; we can use memory streams, but I think I'd feel happier if we used a tmpfile() stream instead; if the data is small enough, a sensible OS would cache the file in memory anyway. As for the strange problems you have in the exif extension; if you switch to a stream opened with php_stream_fopen_tmpfile(), do you still have the same troubles? (So we can try and pin it down!). --Wez. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
