If this is a by-design limitation it should be noted. Test script: --------------- #!/bin/bash # Create a tar file. mkdir -p orig-dir/subdir; touch orig-dir/{a,b,subdir/c}; cd orig-dir tar czf ../test.tgz ./; cd ../ # PHP <?php $a = new PharData('test.tgz', RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS); print count($a) . " files\n"; foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($a) as $path => $fileinfo) { print " " . $path . "\n"; // never runs. } Expected result: ---------------- 3 files phar:///some/path/./a phar:///some/path/./b phar:///some/path/./subdir/c Actual result: -------------- 5 files ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72394&edit=1
