Phar::mapPhar — Reads the currently executed file (a phar) and registers its manifest
$alias
[, int $dataoffset = 0
]] )This static method can only be used inside a Phar archive's loader stub in order to initialize the phar when it is directly executed, or when it is included in another script.
aliasThe alias that can be used in phar:// URLs to refer to this archive, rather than its full path.
dataoffsetUnused variable, here for compatibility with PEAR's PHP_Archive.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
PharException is thrown if not called directly within PHP execution, if no __HALT_COMPILER(); token is found in the current source file, or if the file cannot be opened for reading.
Example #1 A Phar::mapPhar() example
mapPhar should be used only inside a phar's loader stub. Use loadPhar to load an external phar into memory.
Here is a sample Phar loader stub that uses mapPhar.
<?php
function __autoload($class)
{
include 'phar://me.phar/' . str_replace('_', '/', $class) . '.php';
}
try {
Phar::mapPhar('me.phar');
include 'phar://me.phar/startup.php';
} catch (PharException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
die('Cannot initialize Phar');
}
__HALT_COMPILER();
