#45218 [Fbk->Csd]: PHAR archive built from directory limited by max open file handles

ID: 45218 User updated by: stevseea@php.net Reported By: stevseea@php.net -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3CVS-2008-06-09 (snap) Assigned To: cellog New Comment: Great, that's now fixed. Thanks for the prompt response. I'd like to use PHAR to create an uncompressed data archive of around 15,000 files (total size about 60MB), but I'm finding the time to create the archive can be measured in hours, whereas creating a zip of the same files takes less than 30 seconds. Though I appreciate that I may be using PHAR for a purpose that it was not designed for, are there any plans to improve performance for large amounts of files in the future?

These temporary files remain open until the last stages of the archive creation (to prevent the files from being deleted), meaning that the number of files that can be added to the archive is limited by the maximum number of file handles that can be open at any one time (often 2048). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45218&edit=1
