Phar::createDefaultStub
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL phar >= 2.0.0)
Phar::createDefaultStub — Create a phar-file format specific stub
Description
$index = null, ?string $webIndex = null): stringThis method is intended for creation of phar-file format-specific stubs, and is not intended for use with tar- or zip-based phar archives.
Phar archives contain a bootstrap loader, or stub
written in PHP that is executed when the archive is executed in PHP either via
include:
<?php
include 'myphar.phar';
?>
php myphar.phar
This method provides a simple and easy method to create a stub that will run a startup file from the phar archive. In addition, different files can be specified for running the phar archive from the command line versus through a web server. The loader stub also calls Phar::interceptFileFuncs() to allow easy bundling of a PHP application that accesses the file system. If the phar extension is not present, the loader stub will extract the phar archive to a temporary directory and then operate on the files. A shutdown function erases the temporary files on exit.
Parameters
-
index -
Relative path within the phar archive to run if accessed on the command-line
-
webIndex -
Relative path within the phar archive to run if accessed through a web browser
Return Values
Returns a string containing the contents of a customized bootstrap loader (stub) that allows the created Phar archive to work with or without the Phar extension enabled.
Errors/Exceptions
Throws UnexpectedValueException if either parameter is longer than 400 bytes.
