Phar::loadPhar
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PECL phar >= 1.0.0)
Phar::loadPhar — Loads any phar archive with an alias
Description
final public static Phar::loadPhar
( string $filename
[, string $alias
] ) : bool
This can be used to read the contents of an external Phar archive. This is most useful for assigning an alias to a phar so that subsequent references to the phar can use the shorter alias, or for loading Phar archives that only contain data and are not intended for execution/inclusion in PHP scripts.
Parameters
filename- the full or relative path to the phar archive to open
alias- The alias that may be used to refer to the phar archive. Note that many phar archives specify an explicit alias inside the phar archive, and a PharException will be thrown if a new alias is specified in this case.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
PharException is thrown if an alias is passed in and the phar archive already has an explicit alias
Examples
Example #1 A Phar::loadPhar() example
Phar::loadPhar can be used anywhere to load an external Phar archive, whereas Phar::mapPhar should be used in a loader stub for a Phar.
<?phptry { Phar::loadPhar('/path/to/phar.phar', 'my.phar'); echo file_get_contents('phar://my.phar/file.txt');} catch (PharException $e) { echo $e;}?>
