PSR-7 StreamInterface "fgets"

[Bradyn Poulsen]

Hey everyone,

I've been utilizing PSR-7 pretty heavily in my projects to utilize dependency inversion. My latest project has been specifically utilizing the StreamInterface. Were there reasons why StreamInterface didn't include an `fgets` equivalent?

For example,

public function handleResource($resource)
{
    while ($line = fgets($resource)) {
        // do something with $line
    }
}

public function handleStream(StreamInterface $stream)
{
    while ($line = $stream->getLine()) {
        // do something with $line
    }
}

You can call detach() on the stream to get the actual stream resource and use it with fgets(). Just be aware that it will make the PSR-7 stream unusable.

It's rather an unusual usecase to read the HTTP stream line by line, even large requests would probably be read using a buffer with some fixed size, but not from newline to newline

+Dracony, ok. Then in the case of needing line by line, I would read in a chunk and then parse that by lines?

Sure, it's pretty trivial

You can also detach the stream and do an fgets() on the resource that's returned. This will make the stream unusable and might cause you other problems (as the stream will not necessarily be attached to a resource).

 There's actually no guarantee that that function returns a stream.
