note 100963 added to rar.examples

A veeery simple function to RAR files, I'm not proud of it. Since there's no way to create RAR files in PHP (due to licensing, patents or whatever), I'm taking some advantage from the command-line RARing tool that comes with WinRAR (in the WinRAR program files named "rar.exe"). <?php function RARFiles($Output='output.rar',$Files=array()) { $Data=''; for($i=0;$i<count($Files);$i++) $Data.="\"{$Files[$i]}\" "; exec("rar.exe a \"{$Output}\" {$Data}"); } $Files=array('file1.ext','file2.ext','file3.ext'); RARFiles('asdf.rar',$Files); // asdf.rar created. ?> There's no error checking, so make sure you check that your expected RAR file exists before doing anything with it. Hopefully one day, PHP will be able to be allowed to create RAR files. ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.117 Probable Submitter: 109.155.237.34 (proxied: 109.155.237.34) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/rar.examples.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100963 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100963 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100963 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
