php-io

A small, focused PHP I/O toolkit for working with streams and binary data.

php-io gives you:

• A consistent StreamInterface abstraction
• In-memory and file-backed stream implementations
• A BinaryReader for common integer formats (8/16/32-bit, LE/BE)
• Clear exception types for I/O and end-of-stream conditions

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.0

Installation

composer require shufflingpixels/php-io

Quick Start

Read binary values from a string

<?php

use Shufflingpixels\IO\BinaryReader;

$reader = BinaryReader::string("\x34\x12\x80\xff");

$a = $reader->readUInt16LE(); // 0x1234 => 4660
$b = $reader->readInt8();     // -128
$c = $reader->readInt8();     // -1

Work with an in-memory buffer

<?php

use Shufflingpixels\IO\Buffer;
use Shufflingpixels\IO\SeekMode;

$buffer = new Buffer('abcdef');

$buffer->seek(2);                  // position = 2
$buffer->write('XY');              // data becomes: abXYef
$buffer->seek(-2, SeekMode::END);  // position near end

$tail = $buffer->read(2);          // "ef"

Open and use a file stream

<?php

use Shufflingpixels\IO\File;
use Shufflingpixels\IO\FileMode;

$file = File::open('example.bin', FileMode::RW);

$file->write("ABC");
$file->seek(0);

$bytes = $file->read(3); // "ABC"

$file->close();

Main Types

• Shufflingpixels\IO\StreamInterface: common stream contract (read, write, seek, tell, eof, length)
• Shufflingpixels\IO\Buffer: in-memory stream implementation
• Shufflingpixels\IO\File: file-backed stream implementation
• Shufflingpixels\IO\BinaryReader: typed binary reads over any StreamInterface
• Shufflingpixels\IO\SeekMode: type-safe seek modes (SET, CUR, END)
• Shufflingpixels\IO\FileMode: file open modes (READ, WRITE, RW)

Exceptions

• Shufflingpixels\IO\Exception\IOException: generic stream/file I/O failures
• Shufflingpixels\IO\Exception\EndOfStreamException: not enough bytes available when reading
