stream_filter_append()
stream_filter_append - Attach a filter to a stream
Syntax
resource stream_filter_append (
resource $stream,
string $filtername,
int $read_write,
mixed $params)
Arguments
- stream - The target stream.
- filtername - The filter name.
- read_write - By default, stream_filter_append() will attach the filter to the read filter chainif the file was opened for reading (i.e. File Mode: r, and/or +). The filter will also be attached to the write filter chainif the file was opened for writing (i.e. File Mode: w, a, and/or +). STREAM_FILTER_READ, STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, and/or STREAM_FILTER_ALL can also be passed to the read_write parameter to override this behavior.
- params - This filter will be added with the specified params to the endof the list and will therefore be called last during stream operations. To add a filter to the beginning of the list, use stream_filter_prepend().
Description
Adds filtername to the list of filters attached to stream.
Version
PHP 4.3.0, 5
Return value
Returns a resource which can be used to refer to this filter instance during a call to stream_filter_remove().
