I think. - total overkill for manipulating strings IMHO - (me thinks
there is atleast
one other in agreement) - there is a reason php has all those built
in string functions :-)
And there are good reasons why other very intelligent people thought
that including such functionality directly in the C++ STL and many
other libraries was a good idea too.
indeed - but php !== c++ obviously.
personally I don't get your angle on this one, but like Jay I'd be
interested to know how you think this might be useful - so if you
could give an explicit (as poss.) example it might help us to
understand.
Well, as I mentioned before, you are welcome to look into the
surrounding useful examples for istringstream, etc. I can't think of a
single reason why similar reasons why istringstream, etc. is useful
would not apply to a php stream_wrapper for strings.
As for why things like istringstream, etc. are useful, you can also head
over comp.lang.c++ and ask...I, quite simply, have no interest in a
debate or discussion I already know the final answer to....i.e. it is
useful.
btw do you think the functionality surrounding stream_wrapper_register()
will do it for you?
I don't see any reason why not at the moment.
