It should return an array as similar as possible to the array returned by the normal filesystem function stat(). (Indeed calling "stat('mywrapper://path/to/file')" is precisely what will call into wrapperclass->url_stat() ) The stat code is a bit tricky though and the related functions (including filesize() which you asked about) have not yet been routed through the userspace wrappers (or any wrappers for that matter). touch() is not yet scheduled to be routed via wrappers but your question should spawn a discussion of that on [EMAIL PROTECTED] unlink() is the one which you asked about which is already routed and working in PHP5. When unlink('yourwrapper://path/to/file'); is called, the system will locate your class (assuming its properly registered) and call: yourclass->unlink('/path/to/file'); your unlink method should handle the request appropriately then return TRUE or FALSE as appropriate to indicate success. If you know C, you may want to look at ext/standard/ftp_fopen_wrapper.c for an example of how wrapper-unlinking is used with URLs. This wrapper also has a limited implementation of url_stat() for returning filesize of a file on a remote ftp server, however since the stat calls havn't been routed yet (as stated above) it's never actually called... yet.... That said, I could have sworn I had added the unlink method to the documentation, but I don't see it there.... Look for it in the next manual build. -Sara -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
