## #24250 — Andrew Mather — 2006-07-03T19:26:49+00:00

I am trying to use a php_stream* as a global
(and hence persistent) resource, but gdb detects
a memory leak at the end of the request, and subsequent
calls to the stream say the stream is no longer seekable.

How do I declare a php_stream (opened presumably with
php_stream_open_wrapper) to be a persistent resource,
such that I will close it only on module shutdown?

Cheers,

Andrew.
