Get a stream resource from a SplFileInfo object

Question

I'm calling a method that expects a stream resource for a file, like this:

$obj->method(fopen($splFileInfo, 'r+'));

The $splFileInfo object is an instance of SplFileInfo.

Is there a way to get the stream resource of the $splFileInfo object without having to call fopen?

It appears not :( bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44392 – Deceit

The ability to retrieve a stream resource from SplFileInfo doesn't make too much sense (since they don't have to be used with files that actually exist), but it would be nice to introduce the ability for the SplFileObject class (as in the bug report Anthony mentioned) which should have a stream resource available internally. – Genu
