Subject: Implementing fdopen in PHP

Hi all,

It's my first post, so go easy on me. :-)

I'm trying to implement PHP support for github's erlang RPC server called
ernie.
So basically I've been porting the following ruby code to PHP:
http://github.com/mojombo/ernie/blob/master/lib/ernie.rb

The problem I'm having is on line 127-128:
  input = IO.new(3)

I believe this is equivalent to fdopen() in C, but there doesn't appear to
be any way to do this in PHP.

So basically, I'm a bit stuck and looking for advice on how to proceed.
Should I implement this in core PHP or as an extension? What's the best way
to get a function like this into PHP?

Regards,
Dennis Hotson
