If you plan to use your wrapper in a require_once you need to define stream_stat(). If you plan to allow any other tests like is_file()/is_dir(), you have to define url_stat().
stream_stat() must define the size of the file, or it will never be included. url_stat() must define mode, or is_file()/is_dir()/is_executable(), and any of those functions affected by clearstatcache() simply won't work.
It's not documented, but directories must be a mode like 040777 (octal), and files a mode like 0100666. If you wish the file to be executable, use 7s instead of 6s. The last 3 digits are exactly the same thing as what you pass to chmod. 040000 defines a directory, and 0100000 defines a file. It would be really helpful to add this to the official manual!
stream_wrapper_register
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
stream_wrapper_register — Register a URL wrapper implemented as a PHP class
Descrizione
Allows you to implement your own protocol handlers and streams for use with all the other filesystem functions (such as fopen(), fread() etc.).
Elenco dei parametri
-
protocol -
The wrapper name to be registered. Valid protocol names must contain alphanumerics, dots (.), plusses (+), or hyphens (-) only.
-
class -
The classname which implements the
protocol. -
flags -
Should be set to
STREAM_IS_URLifprotocolis a URL protocol. Default is 0, local stream.
Valori restituiti
Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.
stream_wrapper_register() will return false if the
protocol already has a handler.

Updated. I figured there's no need to store the variable name if we're dereferenceing; we can just store the pointer and not have to dereference in each function for brevity.
Also, I added the assertion that the stream is a string, since we're behaving basically like it has to be, and I changed the name to GlobalStream and global://, as that's a more descriptive moniker than VariableName/var://.
<?php
class GlobalStream {
private $pos;
private $stream;
public function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path) {
$url = parse_url($path);
$this->stream = &$GLOBALS[$url["host"]];
$this->pos = 0;
if (!is_string($this->stream)) return false;
return true;
}
public function stream_read($count) {
$p=&$this->pos;
$ret = substr($this->stream, $this->pos, $count);
$this->pos += strlen($ret);
return $ret;
}
public function stream_write($data){
$l=strlen($data);
$this->stream =
substr($this->stream, 0, $this->pos) .
$data .
substr($this->stream, $this->pos += $l);
return $l;
}
public function stream_tell() {
return $this->pos;
}
public function stream_eof() {
return $this->pos >= strlen($this->stream);
}
public function stream_seek($offset, $whence) {
$l=strlen($this->stream);
switch ($whence) {
case SEEK_SET: $newPos = $offset; break;
case SEEK_CUR: $newPos = $this->pos + $offset; break;
case SEEK_END: $newPos = $l + $offset; break;
default: return false;
}
$ret = ($newPos >=0 && $newPos <=$l);
if ($ret) $this->pos=$newPos;
return $ret;
}
}
stream_wrapper_register('global', 'GlobalStream') or die('Failed to register protocol global://');
$myvar = "";
$fp = fopen("global://myvar", "r+");
fwrite($fp, "line1\n");
fwrite($fp, "line2\n");
fwrite($fp, "line3\n");
rewind($fp);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
fclose($fp);

Updated for PHP 5, and optimized for readability, low line count, and minimum memory use:
<?php
class VariableStream {
private $position;
private $varname;
public function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path) {
$url = parse_url($path);
$this->varname = $url["host"];
$this->position = 0;
return true;
}
public function stream_read($count) {
$p=&$this->position;
$ret = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $p, $count);
$p += strlen($ret);
return $ret;
}
public function stream_write($data){
$v=&$GLOBALS[$this->varname];
$l=strlen($data);
$p=&$this->position;
$v = substr($v, 0, $p) . $data . substr($v, $p += $l);
return $l;
}
public function stream_tell() {
return $this->position;
}
public function stream_eof() {
return $this->position >= strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]);
}
public function stream_seek($offset, $whence) {
$l=strlen(&$GLOBALS[$this->varname]);
$p=&$this->position;
switch ($whence) {
case SEEK_SET: $newPos = $offset; break;
case SEEK_CUR: $newPos = $p + $offset; break;
case SEEK_END: $newPos = $l + $offset; break;
default: return false;
}
$ret = ($newPos >=0 && $newPos <=$l);
if ($ret) $p=$newPos;
return $ret;
}
}
stream_wrapper_register("var", "VariableStream")
or die("Failed to register protocol");
$myvar = "";
$fp = fopen("var://myvar", "r+");
fwrite($fp, "line1\n");
fwrite($fp, "line2\n");
fwrite($fp, "line3\n");
rewind($fp);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);

In response to Anonymouse at Coward dot com:
The manual says "Reading stops when up to length bytes have been read, [...] or (after opening userspace stream) when 8192 bytes have been read whichever comes first."
I tested it and fread($filehandle, 4096) returns 4096 bytes, so it's working as the manual says it should. You're right when you say "8192 bytes is always passed to stream_read as count", but that doesn't mean fread will return 8192 bytes. If you call fread twice with length 4096, PHP calls stream_read passing 8192 as count on the first fread, and doesn't call it on second fread. On both cases, fread returns the correct amount of bytes.
<?php
class VariableStream {
var $position;
var $varname;
function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path)
{
$url = parse_url($path);
$this->varname = $url["host"];
$this->position = 0;
return true;
}
function stream_read($count)
{
echo "stream_read called asking for $count bytes\n";
$ret = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position, $count);
$this->position += strlen($ret);
return $ret;
}
function stream_eof()
{
return $this->position >= strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]);
}
}
stream_wrapper_register("var", "VariableStream")
or die("Failed to register protocol");
$myvar = "";
$l=range('a','z');
for($i=0;$i<65536;$i++) {
$myvar .= $l[array_rand($l)];
}
$fp = fopen("var://myvar", "r+");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$out = fread($fp,1000);
echo "fread returned ",strlen($out)," bytes\n";
}
fclose($fp);

Actually, I don't know if there's a better way to figure out if stream_read() was called by fgets() or e.g. fread() than this one:
public function stream_read($count)
{
$bt = debug_backtrace();
if(($bt[0]['function'] == 'stream_read') &&
($bt[1]['function'] == 'fgets'))
{
$pos = strpos($GLOBALS[$this->varname], "\n", $this->position);
$retval = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position, ($pos > $count) ? $count : $pos+1);
}
else
{
$retval = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position, $count);
}
$this->position += strlen($retval);
return (string)$retval;
}

In case someone else starts scratching their head like I was, you should change the VariableStream::stream_eof() function to something like this:
function stream_eof()
{
$eof = ($this->position >= strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]));
if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION,'5.0','>=') && version_compare(PHP_VERSION,'5.1','<'))
{
$eof = !$eof;
}
return $eof;
}
PHP 5.0 introduced a bug that wasn't fixed until 5.1

It is worth noting that if your wrapper supports stream_flush() then when you flcose() your stream this function will be called prior to closing the stream.

using streams to use the ever useful fgetcsv() on a variable where explode() would not work (and would otherwise require regex(though that may be easier;)))
$explode_this="yak, llama, 'big llama', 'wobmat, with a comma in it', bandycoot";
<?php
class csvstream{
var $position;
var $varname;
function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path){
$url = parse_url($path);
$this->varname = $url['host'] ;
$this->position = 0;
return true;
}
function stream_read($count){
$ret = substr($GLOBALS[$this->varname], $this->position, $count);
$this->position += strlen($ret);
return $ret;
}
function stream_eof(){
return $this->position >= strlen($GLOBALS[$this->varname]);
}
function stream_tell(){
return $this->position;
}
}
stream_wrapper_register("csvstr", "csvstream") ;
$str="yak, llama, 'big llama', 'wobmat, with a comma in it', bandycoot";
$fp = fopen("csvstr://str", "r+");
print_r(fgetcsv($fp,100,",","'"));

on using dir_opendir on PHP5 make sure you not return a resource object on success. A resource object is diferent from false but php make a cast to bool to dir_opendir return value and modify the value of your resource to 1.
example:
class myclass{
private $mysqlHandler;
public function dir_opendir(....)
{
$this->mysqlHandler = mysql_connect(....);
return $this->mysqlHandler; //this is wrong, next
//time you use
//$this->mysqlHandler
// the value is 1
}
}

Be aware that even when stream_wrapper_register won't fail, open_basedir will affect functionality of the class.

"for use with all the other filesystem functions"
"all" is not accurate. Unfortunately, zip_open(), and presumably others, will ignore your custom stream wrapper.

Use caution with writing code that may use stream wrappers with fread, as fread behaviour is 'inconsistent' with normal file operations because of the 8192 bytes internal buffer used by PHP ( >= 5.0.5 IIRC ).
ie:
fread($filehandle, filesize($filename))
will not work correctly if the file is larger than 8KB, it will only get you the first 8192 bytes. Also, it seems that:
fread($filehandle, 4096)
will still give you 8KB (if the file is larger than 8KB) as 8192 bytes is always passed to stream_read as count.
This makes it somewhat impossible to just 'drop in' a stream where normally a file would be used without taking special care.
Yes, it IS mentioned in the documentation here if you read it really well, but I for one spent some time scratching my head over it, and looking at the bug tracker, I am not the only one. The dev's say this inconsistancy is a feature though, even if it does make stream wrappers pretty much useless 'out of the box'.
file_get_contents and stream_get_contents seem to work ok though.
