Another way is to get resource size using ftell before rewind

$fpSize = ftell($fp);
rewind($fp);
$data = fread($fp, $fpSize);

Also, I'm using $fp = fopen('php://memory', 'r+b');
To save the ammount of writing to disk :)

According to https://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php even 'php://temp' should be in memory too as long as the contents are below a certain limit. Default is 2MiB. If you are not parsing huge arrays, 'php://temp' and 'php://memory' will do the same.

Why was it tweaked from the original version, which had $data = fgets($fp);? And does anyone know why the original version got -1 points while it seems to work well?
