PharData::convertToExecutable
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PECL phar >= 2.0.0)
PharData::convertToExecutable — Convert a non-executable tar/zip archive to an executable phar archive
Description
Note:
This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException will be thrown.
This method is used to convert a non-executable tar or zip archive to an executable phar archive. Any of the three executable file formats (phar, tar or zip) can be used, and whole-archive compression can also be performed.
If no changes are specified, this method throws a BadMethodCallException.
If successful, the method creates a new archive on disk and returns a Phar object. The old archive is not removed from disk, and should be done manually after the process has finished.
Parameters
-
format -
This should be one of Phar::PHAR, Phar::TAR, or Phar::ZIP. If set to
NULL, the existing file format will be preserved. -
compression -
This should be one of Phar::NONE for no whole-archive compression, Phar::GZ for zlib-based compression, and Phar::BZ2 for bzip-based compression.
-
extension -
This parameter is used to override the default file extension for a converted archive. Note that all zip- and tar-based phar archives must contain .phar in their file extension in order to be processed as a phar archive.
If converting to a phar-based archive, the default extensions are .phar, .phar.gz, or .phar.bz2 depending on the specified compression. For tar-based phar archives, the default extensions are .phar.tar, .phar.tar.gz, and .phar.tar.bz2. For zip-based phar archives, the default extension is .phar.zip.
Errors/Exceptions
This method throws BadMethodCallException when unable to compress, an unknown compression method has been specified, the requested archive is buffering with Phar::startBuffering() and has not concluded with Phar::stopBuffering(), an UnexpectedValueException if write support is disabled, and a PharException if any problems are encountered during the phar creation process.
Examples
Example #1 A PharData::convertToExecutable() example
Using PharData::convertToExecutable():
<?php
try {
$tarphar = new PharData('myphar.tar');
// convert it to the phar file format
// note that myphar.tar is *not* unlinked
$phar = $tarphar->convertToExecutable(Phar::PHAR); // creates myphar.phar
$phar->setStub($phar->createDefaultStub('cli.php', 'web/index.php'));
// creates myphar.phar.tgz
$compressed = $tarphar->convertToExecutable(Phar::TAR, Phar::GZ, '.phar.tgz');
} catch (Exception $e) {
// handle the error here
}
?>
