PHP Manual: Close RAR archive and free all resources

Object-oriented style (method):

public bool RarArchive::close()

Procedural style:

bool rar_close(RarArchive $rarfile)

Close RAR archive and free all allocated resources.

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Version	Description
PECL rar 2.0.0	The RAR entries returned by RarArchive::getEntry and RarArchive::getEntries are now invalidated when calling this method. This means that all instance methods called for such entries and not guaranteed to succeed.

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('latest_winrar.rar');
echo $rar_arch."\n";
$rar_arch->close();
echo $rar_arch."\n";
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

RAR Archive "D:\php_rar\trunk\tests\latest_winrar.rar"
RAR Archive "D:\php_rar\trunk\tests\latest_winrar.rar" (closed)

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('latest_winrar.rar');
echo $rar_arch."\n";
rar_close($rar_arch);
echo $rar_arch."\n";
?>
