- PHP now has a new stream system that allows it to do some clever stuff with
fopen() and fsockopen(). As a result:
. URL wrappers natively supports https:// URLs if you have compiled
OpenSSL support into PHP (shared extension does not support this).
. Added support for fopen("ftps://...", ...) which allows to connect to FTP
servers via SSL. (Stefan Esser)
. fsockopen() adds support for ssl:// and tls:// connections via TCP/IP
. copy($srcfilename, $destfilename) can now be used with URL wrappers
. zlib wrappers/streams can be used even on systems without fopencookie()
. Changed 'zlib:' fopen wrapper to 'compress.zlib://' and deprecate
'zlib:' to avoid ambiguities when filenames have ':' characters. (Wez)
. Added 'compress.bzip2://' stream and wrapper support.
. Added user-space streams - it is now possible to define a class in PHP
code and register it as a URL wrapper. (stream_register_wrapper)
. Most extensions now support streams when passing files, which means
that those extensions will now also support URL wrappers. (Wez)
. Added URL-wrapper support to exif. (Marcus)
. Added memory stream support. (Marcus)

socket_set_timeout() -> stream_set_timeout()
socket_set_blocking() -> stream_set_blocking()
set_file_buffer() -> stream_set_write_buffer()
socket_get_status() -> stream_get_meta_data()
As these functions can (in theory) work on any type of stream. (Wez)
. Raw POST data is now available as "php://input" stream. (Hartmut)
. fopen("php://output", "wb") returns a stream that writes to the output
buffer (like echo and print). (Wez)
. Added stream_context_create(), stream_context_set_params() and
stream_context_set_option and added an optional fourth parameter to
fopen() which accepts a stream context. Contexts allow sharing of
information between streams (a kind of "session") and setting
notification callbacks. (Wez)
. Made the "User-Agent" header sent by http:// and https:// wrappers
configurable in php.ini or via a stream context. (Sterling)
. Added stream_filter_prepend() and stream_filter_append() which apply
a filter to either the top or the bottom of a stream filter stack.
Implemented "string.rot13" filter as an example; more filters are
expected to follow in later releases and other extensions. (Wez)
. Added stream_select() which works like socket_select but works on
streams returned by fopen(), fsockopen() and pfsockopen() instead. (Wez)
. Added STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR constants for CLI sapi reflecting opened
streams to their respective standard I/O counterparts. (Edin)

detect Macintosh, Unix and Dos end-of-line characters in fgets() and
file(). Fixes bugs #16521 and #16708. (Wez)
. Fixed include(), require() and GD functions to work with remote files
under win32.

- Fixed a bug in socket_select() that could cause unexpected behavior when
using a statement like $w = $e = array($sock); This change unfortunately
prevents the use of constant values (e.g. NULL) for the socket array
paramaters. Instead, use a temporary variable or an expression with the
leftmost member being a temporary variable. ex.:
socket_select($w, $r, $e = NULL, 10); (Jason)

print "Ready to read:\n"; var_dump($rfds);
