OPTv2: get template from database

[whumble]

While reading the manual I found curious thing, that
template could be retrieved from a database:

// File from the database
$view = new Opt_View('database:template.tpl');

It was saying that this syntax uses PHP streams.
How it could be done with a database? Please give me a hint.

Here you can find some information, how to create a stream wrapper in PHP:

http://docs.php.net/manual/pl/stream.streamwrapper.example-1.php

Basically, stream wrapper is a collection of functions/methods that will be called instead of normal filesystem operations. From the OPT point of view, it looks like reading a file, but internally, your customized "file reading" function accesses the database and retrieves the specified template content from a table.

Thanks for instant reply.
So I do implement my wrapper by myself.  OK.
Just was wondering if the library could help somehow, but no problem.
Thanks again.

No. How could the library know the database structure you are using?

Understood.
