WP_Http_Curl::stream_body( resource $handle, string $data ): int

Since
3.6.0
Source
wp-includes/class-wp-http-curl.php:391
Grabs the body of the cURL request.

Description

The contents of the document are passed in chunks, and are appended to the $body property for temporary storage. Returning a length shorter than the length of $data passed in will cause cURL to abort the request with CURLE_WRITE_ERROR.

Compatibility

PHP
7.4–8.6-dev
  • 6.7.7

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$handleresource
cURL handle.
$datastring
cURL request body.

Return value

int
Total bytes of data written.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Http_Curl::stream_body() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Heavy

Reads or writes the filesystem via fwrite().

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
13–27

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 30.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What one call costs · 2 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Http_Curl::stream_body() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
