XXII. Direct IO Functions

Introduction

PHP supports the direct io functions as described in the Posix Standard (Section 6) for performing I/O functions at a lower level than the C-Language stream I/O functions (fopen(), fread(),..). The use of the DIO functions should be considered only when direct control of a device is needed. In all other cases, the standard filesystem functions are more than adequate.

Not: This extension is not available on Windows platforms.

Requirements

No external libraries are needed to build this extension.

Installation

To get these functions to work, you have to configure PHP with --enable-dio.

Runtime Configuration

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

Resource Types

One resource type is defined by this extension: a file descriptor returned by dio_open().

Predefined Constants

This extension has no constants defined.

İçindekiler
dio_close -- Closes the file descriptor given by fd
dio_fcntl -- Performs a c library fcntl on fd
dio_open --  Opens a new filename with specified permissions of flags and creation permissions of mode
dio_read --  Reads n bytes from fd and returns them, if n is not specified, reads 1k block
dio_seek -- Seeks to pos on fd from whence
dio_stat --  Gets stat information about the file descriptor fd
dio_tcsetattr --  Sets terminal attributes and baud rate for a serial port
dio_truncate --  Truncates file descriptor fd to offset bytes
dio_write --  Writes data to fd with optional truncation at length

(sorry for my English)
http://pecl.php.net/get/dio seems broken at the moment
to get dio extension follow these steps (steps 1.a and 1.b are equivalent):

1.a  get source files using cvs (you may need cvsnt or similar):

     (in shell run)
     cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login
     Password: phpfi
     cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co pecl/dio
     cd pecl/dio/

-- or --

1.b  manually download all files at http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pecl/dio clicking on the revision number link
     move to the destination directory

2.   (in shell run)
     phpize (if the system is missing the 'phpize' command see http://php.mirrors.ilisys.com.au/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php)
     ./configure --enable-dio --with-php-config=/path/to/php-config (usually /usr/local/php/bin/php-config or /usr/bin/php-config)

     make
     make install (you need root/admin privilegies)

You can manually build the dio extension for your version of PHP, or install an older version of PHP that still bundled dio.  It's not that hard to build it yourself, just a bit of a process, and it helps if you're on linux, and have a build environment... which I would assume you have if you are doing some kind of development that requires direct device I/O...  Just get the dio source from the cvs repo, compile it, and then add the extension to your php configuration...

to use mandatory locking on a linux system, the filesystem has to be well prepared.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro,mand  0       1
/dev/hda2       none            swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                0       0
/dev/fd0        /floppy         auto    user,noauto             0       0
/dev/cdrom      /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0       0

For example here the ext3 partition has been prepared for mandatory locking. Otherwise no dio_function will work on the system.

IMPORTANT:

--enable-dio is NOT recognized as an option. After reporting a bug, i got following answer:

It is not bundled anymore. See http://pecl.php.net/dio to fetch the CVS version (being unmaintained, there is no release in pecl). Not a bug > bogus.
