<?php
// make sure it doesn't exist
@unlink('brandnewphar.phar');
try {
    $p = new Phar(dirname(__FILE__) . '/brandnewphar.phar', 0, 'brandnewphar.phar');
    $p['file.txt'] = 'hello';
    $p['file.txt']->setMetadata(array('user' => 'bill', 'mime-type' => 'text/plain'));
    var_dump($p['file.txt']->getMetadata());
