[PHP] json stream filter
Hi! first post on the list, so please bare with me ;-) we are handling a lot of cache files in our apps and use json to persist those contents on the filesystem, because it seems to be the fastest possible way to read/write files with PHP. Since I discovered stream-filters, http://www.php.net/manual/en/filters.php, we use those also for base64 encoding files before sending them over the wire, which preserves a lot of memory and allows even bigger files. Would it make sense to also have a native stream filter for fileformats like JSON, to get maximum performance for reading/writing those (and also to be able to write big files)? Thanks, Markus
[PHP] A Strange Problem
Hi gang:
I have a very strange problem.
I can use this statement in one folder:
$fcontents = file('docs/admin-email.txt');
But in a different folder with an exact path having 'docs/admin-email.txt', I
get:
Warning: file(/docs/admin-email.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No
such file or directory in on line 83
This has got me really puzzled.
I have confirmed these are the exact same folders and files, except only in two
different places on the server. Both are one level down from root.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
Cheers,
tedd

Are you sure it is the same string? It looks like this one has an extra '/'
at the beginning?

Else it could be permission item, I think the user executing the PHP script
(www-user or such for apache), needs to have execute rights on all
directories up to the file, to be able to read the file listing.

It sounds like a current working directory issue. Try running a getcwd() in
both places to see how they are set

Nothing works.

Sounds like either a chroot or virtual environment (such as,
execution of the script in a separate directory) issue. Check the
output of this:
= 5.3) {
echo __DIR__.PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo getcwd().PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Daniel:
I placed it at root and it reports:
/home/content/64//html/sdi
That's the same path that had problems.

Whatever the reason for this, I'd recommend you always specify a path relative
to the current script.
In PHP 5.3+:
$fcontents = file(__DIR__.'/docs/admin-email.txt');
Prior to 5.3:
$fcontents = file(dirname(__FILE__).'/docs/admin-email.txt');
