Add a uri: psuedo driver; it specifies the name of a resource that contains,
as its first line, the actual data source to connect to.
The resource can be a local file, or it can be any resource for which PHP
has a wrapper.
// loads connection data from the file "myapp"
$d = new PDO('uri:myapp');
// lets say that public.db.com has a read-only db open for the public
// their connection data is also published via the web:
// (not so great to resolve this on each request though...)
$d = new PDO('uri:http://public.db.com/pdo-connection-data');
Features:
- native prepare/execute and bound parameters.
- finally supports binary data (via bound parameter api)
- full unicode/utf-8 support
Missing:
- UDF functions
- authorizer hooks for safe_mode/open_basedir restrictions
You need to download, compile and install sqlite3 yourself; we're not bundling
it (at least, not yet).
We avoid the problem by using poll(2).
On systems without poll(2) (older bsd-ish systems, and win32), we emulate
poll(2) using select(2) and check for valid descriptors before attempting
to access them via the descriptor sets.
If an out-of-range descriptor is detected, an E_WARNING is raised suggesting
that PHP should be recompiled with a larger FD_SETSIZE (and also with a
suggested value).
Most uses of select(2) in the source are to poll a single descriptor, so
a couple of handy wrapper functions have been added to make this easier.
A configure option --enable-fd-setsize has been added to both the unix and
win32 builds; on unix we default to 16384 and on windows we default to 256.
Windows FD_SETSIZE imposes a limit on the maximum number of descriptors that
can be select()ed at once, whereas the unix FD_SETSIZE limit is based on the
highest numbered descriptor; 256 should be plenty for PHP scripts under windows
(the default OS setting is 64).
The win32 specific parts are untested; will do that now.
Register filters as resources when
instantiated by stream_filter_(ap|pre)pend().
Export php_stream_filter_flush() internal function to wind buffered data
out of a particular filter until consumed by a later filter or sent to
stream->readbuffer or stream->ops->write()
