Description:

Feature Request:

the stream wrapper functions are *totally awesome*  :-)  !!!

but the "stat" family of functions is limited by the lack of a "context" param.

For instance I need to be able to provide a user name and password for a particular connection.  for opendir mkdir fopen etc.  I am able to pass a context with that info and everything works.  But then when I try to do a "stat" or "fstat"  it fails because there is no way to pass the $context.

Thank you for making PHP such a fantastic programming language!

For stream_wrappers, by calling fopen() with a context parameter and then fstat() on the opened stream, you should be able to pass a context (the ->context attribute in the wrapper's instance).

And it seems that StreamWrapper stat doesn't use default context either.

$options = array('testfs'=> array(
   'storagePath'=>dirname(ROOTPATH).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'storage'
   )
);

$defaultContext = stream_context_get_options(stream_context_get_default());

$newContext = array_replace_recursive($defaultContext, $options);

stream_context_set_default($newContext);

stream_wrapper_register('testfs', 'Test_StreamWrapper');

class Test_StreamWrapper
{
  public $context;

  public function url_stat()
  {
    if($this->context === null)
    {
       print 'No Context!';   
    }
    return false;
  }
}

file_exists('testfs://foobar');

Expected:

Got:
No Context!

You should be able to use stream_context_set_default()[1].

The behavior is documented[2].
