Description:
------------
The example provided for stream_filter_remove() does not work as expected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$fp = fopen("test.txt", "w");

$rot13_filter = stream_filter_append($fp, "string.rot13", STREAM_FILTER_WRITE);
fwrite($fp, "This is ");
stream_filter_remove($rot13_filter);
fwrite($fp, "a test\n");

rewind($fp);
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Guvf vf a test

Actual result:

Also there seems to be a problem with other filters: the below example hangs at fread(), if the script rewind()s the stream.

If closing the file and opening a new file handle, everyhing works as expected.

<?php
$str = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";

$fp = fopen("test.bin","w");

$bz_filter = stream_filter_append($fp,"bzip2.compress",9);
fwrite($fp,$str,strlen($str));
stream_filter_remove($bz_filter);

#fclose($fp);
#fopen($fp,"test.bin","r+");
rewind($fp);

$bz_filter = stream_filter_append($fp,"bzip2.decompress");
$str2 = fread($fp,strlen($str));
stream_filter_remove($bz_filter);

fclose($fp);

var_dump($str2);
?>

If using the bzip2.compress or zlib.deflate filters, ftell() returns the same value as before using the filter to write to the stream:

<?php
$s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
$fp = fopen("test.bin","w");
fwrite($fp,$s);
var_dump(ftell($fp)); // int(44)
$filter = stream_filter_append($fp,"zlib.deflate",STREAM_FILTER_WRITE,9);
fwrite($fp,$s);
stream_filter_remove($filter);
var_dump(ftell($fp)); // int(44)
fclose($fp);
?>

Same problem as in first post here (code tested).
OS: Debian Lenny (unstable)
Same PHP version.

Sorry, not same, I have 5.3.0RC4
 [2009-06-21 00:26 UTC] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net
Still doesn't work for me with RC4.

Is it windows specific?
 [2009-06-23 18:10 UTC] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net
The example code for stream_filter_remove() doesn't run on my Linux VM either, which i compiled 5.3.0RC4 on. Same result as on my Windows box: it correctly writes to the "test.txt" file what it should, but fpassthru() doesnt output anything.

Doesn't seem to be windows specific.
 [2009-06-23 19:53 UTC] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net
Had to recompile PHP because i didn't have zlib and bzip2 included, but now i've also tested the other pieces of code on the Linux VM.
Same result as on the Windows box.

Using filters seems to corrupt the file handle somehow:
After using a compression filter to write to a file, ftell() returns the same value as before appending the filter, but it is still possible to write to the file.

After using a decompression filter to read from a file, ftell() returns the same value as before appending the filter, but every call to fread() returns an empty string.

In addition, if the script first reads something from the stream, then a decompression filter is appended for reading and the script tries to read something, i get the following warning:

Warning: stream_filter_append(): Filter failed to process pre-buffered data in .../test.php on line 11

Is it, somehow, possible to have the buffers flushed in that case?

Does this happen with PHP 5.2.10 and 5.2.9 ?
 [2009-07-15 02:38 UTC] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net
Yes, for all pieces of code specified in this bug report, and PHP version 5.2.10; i do not have PHP 5.2.9 anymore, the download server too, so i can't tell about 5.2.9
 [2009-07-16 18:21 UTC] php_nospam at ramihyn dot sytes dot net
The scripts show the same behaviour in PHP 5.2.6
 [2009-11-28 14:54 UTC] pierrick@php.net
In the reproduce code, the file pointer is open for write only. I tested the same code with the file pointer open for read/write and it worked as expected on 5.2.11 and 5.3.1
