[PEPr] Comment on PHP::PHP_Archive

Klaus Guenther (http://pear.php.net/user/thesaur) has commented on the proposal for PHP::PHP_Archive. Comment: This proposal looks very interesting. However, I would suggest calling it File_Phar. Before the 1.0 release, it should have the basic features of the jar files implemented (e.g., compression, encryption, etc.). Don't know how easy encryption will be to implement. But I suppose if you only decrypt into private variables (php5 style), it will be difficult (without modifying the class) to access the decrypted files. All in all, it will be a nice way to distribute an application. Also sounds like a nice entry for the Zend or dotgeek competitions - provided you make it php5 only ;-) Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=88 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
