Phar::setAlias
Set the alias for the Phar archive
Description
public true Phar::setAlias(string $alias
)
Note:
This
method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly
to be
set to 0
in order to work for Phar
objects. Otherwise, a PharException will be thrown.
Set the alias for the Phar archive, and write it as the permanent alias
for this phar archive. An alias can be used internally to a phar archive to
ensure that use of the phar
stream wrapper to access internal
files always works regardless of the location of the phar archive on the
filesystem. Another alternative is to rely upon Phar's interception of
include or to use Phar::interceptFileFuncs
and use relative paths.
Parameters
-
alias
-
A shorthand string that this archive can be referred to in phar
stream wrapper access.
Return Values
Always returns true
.
Errors/Exceptions
Throws UnexpectedValueException when write access
is disabled, and PharException if the alias is
already in use or any problems were encountered flushing changes to disk.
Examples
