Chapter 16. Diverting the Stream > Filters
Filters
Filters apply an extra stage of transformation to stream contents during read and write operations. Note that while stream filters existed in PHP as far back as version 4.3, the design of the stream filter API changed dramatically with PHP 5.0. The contents of this chapter refer specifically to the PHP5 generation of stream filters.
