Phar::convertToData — Convert a phar archive to a non-executable tar or zip file

Description

public PharData Phar::convertToData ([ int $format = 9021976 [, int $compression = 9021976 [, string $extension ]]] )

This method is used to convert an executable phar archive to either a tar or zip file. To make the tar or zip non-executable, the phar stub and phar alias files are removed from the newly created archive.

If no changes are specified, this method throws a BadMethodCallException if the archive is in phar file format. For archives in tar or zip file format, this method converts the archive to a non-executable archive.

If successful, the method creates a new archive on disk and returns a PharData object. The old archive is not removed from disk, and should be done manually after the process has finished.

Parameters

format

This should be one of Phar::TAR or Phar::ZIP. If set to NULL, the existing file format will be preserved.

compression

This should be one of Phar::NONE for no whole-archive compression, Phar::GZ for zlib-based compression, and Phar::BZ2 for bzip-based compression.

extension

This parameter is used to override the default file extension for a converted archive. Note that .phar cannot be used anywhere in the filename for a non-executable tar or zip archive.

If converting to a tar-based phar archive, the default extensions are .tar, .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 depending on specified compression. For zip-based archives, the default extension is .zip.

Return Values

The method returns a PharData object on success and throws an exception on failure.

Errors/Exceptions

This method throws BadMethodCallException when unable to compress, an unknown compression method has been specified, the requested archive is buffering with Phar::startBuffering() and has not concluded with Phar::stopBuffering(), and a PharException if any problems are encountered during the phar creation process.

Examples

Example #1 A Phar::convertToData() example

Using Phar::convertToData():

<?php
try {
    $tarphar = new Phar('myphar.phar.tar');
    // note that myphar.phar.tar is *not* unlinked
    // convert it to the non-executable tar file format
    // creates myphar.tar
    $tar = $tarphar->convertToData();
    // convert to non-executable zip format, creates myphar.zip
    $zip = $tarphar->convertToData(Phar::ZIP);
    // create myphar.tbz
    $tgz = $tarphar->convertToData(Phar::TAR, Phar::BZ2, '.tbz');
    // creates myphar.phar.tgz
    $phar = $tarphar->convertToData(Phar::PHAR); // throws exception
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle the error here
}
?>
