PHP 8.3.4 Released!

stream_get_contents

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

stream_get_contentsTransfiere el resto de un flujo a una cadena

Descripción

stream_get_contents(resource $handle, int $maxlength = -1, int $offset = -1): string

Idéntica a file_get_contents(), excepto que stream_get_contents() opera sobre un recurso de flujo ya abierto y devuelve el resto del contenido en una cadena, hasta maxlength bytes y comenzando por el offset especificado.

Parámetros

handle (resource)

Un recurso de flujo (p.ej. devuelto desde fopen())

maxlength (integer)

El máximo de bytes a leer. Por defecto es -1 (lee todo el buffer restante).

offset (integer)

Busca el índice especificado antes de leer. Si este número es negativo, no se hará ninguna búsqueda y la lectura comenzará desde la posición actual.

Valores devueltos

Devuelve una cadena o false en caso de error.

Historial de cambios

Versión Descripción
5.1.0 Se añadió el parámetro offset.

It is important to know that stream_get_contents behaves differently with different versions of PHP. Consider the following

<?php

$handle
= fopen('file', 'w+'); // truncate + attempt to create
fwrite($handle, '12345'); // file position > 0
rewind($handle); // position = 0
$content = stream_get_contents($handle); // file position = 0 in PHP 5.1.6, file position > 0 in PHP 5.2.17!
fwrite($handle, '6789');
fclose($handle);

/**
*
* 'file' content
*
* PHP 5.1.6:
* 67895
*
* PHP 5.2.17:
* 123456789
*
*/
?>

As a result, stream_get_contents() affects file position in 5.1, and do not affect file position in 5.2 or better.

In that case when stream_get_contents/fread/fgets or other stream reading functions block indefinitely your script because they don't reached the limit of bytes to read use the socket_get_meta_data function to figure out the number of the bytes to read. It returns an array that contains a key named 'unread_bytes' and then pass that number to your favourite stream reading functions second parameter to read from the stream.

Maybe a good workaround to use the stream_select function, and set the socket to non-blocking mode with the use of stream_set_blocking($stream, 0). In this case the socket reading functions work properly.

When omitting the parameter $maxlength, any received bytes are stacked up until the underlying stream is not readable anymore, the the function returns that stack in one piece.

It states that $length parameter which value is null is intended to read all remaining contents from $stream
However, example listed under docs uses -1 as $length parameter to achieve such behavior

Recently i had to start few commands from php7.4 and read content from them, proc_open was used to create processes.
Both output[1] and error[2] pipes were set to non-blocking mode. For some unknown reason sometimes process error[2] channel was available, sometimes not(it was empty string).

After some investigation it was found that stream_get_contents works just great with -1 as a $length value instead of null if you are trying to get all remaining buffer.
