Description: ------------ Can't understand how to dump a configuration to the standard output. buildOutputString() is protected and write() uses file_put_contents() which make it unsuitable to write anywhere else than to regular files. Test script: --------------- $config = new Config_Lite(); $config->write('php://stdout', ["test"]); Expected result: ---------------- test Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: file_put_contents(): Exclusive locks may only be set for regular files in /pear/php/Config/Lite.php on line 212 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /tmp/script.php:0 PHP 2. Config_Lite->write() /tmp/script.php:3 PHP 3. file_put_contents() /pear/php/Config/Lite.php:212 PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Config_Lite_Exception_Runtime' with message 'failed to write file `php://stdout' for writing.' in /pear/php/Config/Lite.php:213 Stack trace: #0 /tmp/script.php(3): Config_Lite->write('php://stdout', Array) #1 {main} thrown in /pear/php/Config/Lite.php on line 21

Config_Lite implements the magic method __toString, which allows to echo'ing the OutputString by an `echo $config`. $config = new Config_Lite(); $config['key'] = 'Value'; echo $config; `file_put_contents()` allows exclusive locks only to be set for regular files, i'll think about supporting streams.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at http://pear.php.net/get/ Config_Lite 0.2 defaults to no flags. $config = new Config_Lite(); $config->write("php://stdout", array("Answer" => 42));
