Req #76128 [Com]: PHAR file detection is broken

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76128&edit=1 ID: 76128 Comment by: ojrask at gmail dot com Reported by: kelunik@php.net Summary: PHAR file detection is broken Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PHAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.2.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As it seems like a feature request, I would like to +1 the request. It would be nice to have a way to include/require PHARs without the extension in place, and let the developer handle situations where the file being loaded is not an actual PHAR.

So this is not a bug, but rather a feature request, in my opinion.

'phar:///home/kelunik/acme-client/vendor/autoload.php' therefore doesn't work if the PHAR is renamed to 'acme-client'. Finding the PHAR in such a path isn't possible with quite some I/O. Because of that, I propose to use a non-valid character such as a NUL-byte to separate the PHAR path from the path inside the PHAR. I think Java uses ! or # or so as a separator. Expected result: ---------------- File functions work regardless of the file name of the PHAR. Actual result: -------------- File functions are broken if the PHAR doesn't end with '.phar'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76128&edit=1
