PHP Manual: Set the contents of a file within the tar/zip to those of an external file or string

Description

public void PharData::offsetSet(string $localName, resourcestring $value)

This is an implementation of the ArrayAccess interface allowing direct manipulation of the contents of a tar/zip archive using array access brackets. offsetSet is used for modifying an existing file, or adding a new file to a tar/zip archive.

Parameters

localName: The filename (relative path) to modify in a tar or zip archive.
value: Content of the file.

Return Values

No return values.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws PharException if there are any problems flushing changes made to the tar/zip archive to disk.

Examples

Example #1 A PharData::offsetSet example

offsetSet should not be accessed directly, but instead used via array access with the [] operator.

<?php
$p = new PharData('/path/to/my.tar');
try {
    // calls offsetSet
    $p['file.txt'] = 'Hi there';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Could not modify file.txt:', $e;
}
?>

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.
