README

This library is intended to be used to mock the php:// stream wrapper.

It's highly recommended that you register/unregister this ONLY when you need it in a test. Otherwise, it could interfere with other built-in php streams during the course of it being registered.

NOTE Since version 2.0 the php://temp[/maxmemory:NN] and php://memory paths will behave as PHP does. The content written to them will not be available after the stream_close call. This means that file_put_contents and
file_get_contents cannot be used to read and write these two paths.

Installation

composer install syberisle/mock-php-stream

Usage

Using this to test a Slim 3 app's ability to do direct file uploads, where the body IS the content, is now easier.

MockPhpStream::register();
file_put_contents('php://input', 'you test data');

$app = new Slim\App();
$app->post('', function ($request) {
    // direct file uploads
    $request->getBody()->detach();
    $from = fopen("php://input", 'r');
    $to   = fopen('/my/path/file', 'w');
    stream_copy_to_stream($from, $to);
    fclose($from);
    fclose($to);
});

MockPhpStream::unregister();

Security

Using this in production could potentially cause problems as it overrides the built-in php stream functions.
