Example #1 A PharData::addFromString() example

<?php
try {
$a = new PharData('/path/to/my.tar');

$a->addFromString('path/to/file.txt', 'my simple file');
$b = $a['path/to/file.txt']->getContent();

// to add contents from a stream handle for large files, use offsetSet()
$c = fopen('/path/to/hugefile.bin');
$a['largefile.bin'] = $c;
fclose($c);
} catch (
Exception $e) {
// handle errors here
}
?>

Notes

Note: PharData::addFile(), PharData::addFromString() and PharData::offsetSet() save a new phar archive each time they are called. If performance is a concern, PharData::buildFromDirectory() or PharData::buildFromIterator() should be used instead.
