In PHP5 (on Linux), the above example identifies the "file" handler as a 'stream', not 'file'.

This can be particularly worrisome if you're trying to determine the type of stream using this function.

The alternative is to use <?php stream_get_meta_data() ?>, which returns an array containing "stream_type (string) - a label describing the underlying implementation of the stream."
