It seems that PHP’s streams aren’t used much, but they appear to be very powerful. Does anyone have an example of implementing a stream to do something that would be clunky otherwise?
I don’t mean doing stuff like file_get_contents('http://google.com');, I mean implementing your own streams.
A couple of examples that spring immediately to mind are:
Accessing files with an Amazon S3 wrapper.
Interacting with MongoDB’s GridFS.
Talking to Microsoft Excel.
Getting blobs from Windows Azure.
