PharFileInfo
PHP Manual

PharFileInfo::delMetadata

Deletes the metadata of the entry

Description

public true PharFileInfo::delMetadata()

Deletes the metadata of the entry, if any.

Parameters

No parameters.

Return Values

Always returns true. As with all functionality that modifies the contents of a phar, the phar.readonly INI variable must be off in order to succeed if the file is within a Phar archive. Files within PharData archives do not have this restriction.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws PharException if errors occurred while flushing changes to disk, and BadMethodCallException if write access is disabled.

Examples

Example #1 A PharFileInfo::delMetaData example

<?php
try {
    $a = new Phar('myphar.phar');
    $a['hi'] = 'hi';
    var_dump($a['hi']->delMetadata());
    $a['hi']->setMetadata('there');
    var_dump($a['hi']->delMetadata());
    var_dump($a['hi']->delMetadata());
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle errors
}
?>

The above example will output:

bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
