Example #1 A PharData::addFromString example

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.
