stream_wrapper_register — Register a URL wrapper implemented as a PHP class
Allows you to implement your own protocol handlers and streams for use with all the other filesystem functions (such as fopen(), fread() etc.).
The wrapper name to be registered.
The classname which implements the protocol.
Should be set to STREAM_IS_URL if protocol is a URL protocol. Default is 0, local stream.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
stream_wrapper_register() will return FALSE if the protocol already has a handler.

<?php
$existed = in_array("var", stream_get_wrappers());
if ($existed) {
stream_wrapper_unregister("var");
}
stream_wrapper_register("var", "VariableStream");
$myvar = "";
$fp = fopen("var://myvar", "r+");
fwrite($fp, "line1\n");
fwrite($fp, "line2\n");
fwrite($fp, "line3\n");
rewind($fp);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
fclose($fp);
var_dump($myvar);
