Doc #53509 [Opn->Csd]: Incorrect Phar Example; Confusing Results

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53509&edit=1 ID: 53509 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: royanee at yahoo dot com Summary: Incorrect Phar Example; Confusing Results -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: PHAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: kalle Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It is excepted that the ArrayAccess returns the path to the file rather than its contents (as Phar::offsetGet() which is inherited does). Phar provides a class named PharFileInfo that can be used to fetch the file contents, but you have to read it line by line (see: http://dk.php.net/manual/en/pharfileinfo.construct.php), so using the filesystem functions would be more simplified. I corrected the example for what it outputs.

I was hoping to be able to access the file content through the ArrayAccess, but so far only file_get_contents and readfile have worked. Thanks. Test script: --------------- <?php try { $phar = new PharData('myphar.tar'); $phar['a'] = 'hi'; $phar->copy('a', 'b'); echo $phar['b']; // outputs "hi" } catch (Exception $e) { // handle error } Expected result: ---------------- hi Actual result: -------------- phar:///path/to/myphar.tar/b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53509&edit=1
