Re: [PHP-DEV] Getting an external param into a userspace streams filter...

Hi David,

user filters are in a little bit of flux atm.

However, the idea is that the param argument will be altered to be a
zval (rather than just a string).

In the oncreate() method, the following member variables are available
to the filter:

string $this->filtername; // name of the filter
mixed $this->params;      // params passed from prepend/append func

Hope this helps; please only use current CVS for PHP 5 for playing
around with this stuff; if you run into problems let me (and Sara
<[email protected]>) know and we can sort them out.

--Wez.
