Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public string RarArchive::getComment()

Procedural style:

string rar_comment_get(RarArchive $rarfile)

Get the (global) comment stored in the RAR archive. It may be up to 64 KiB long.

Note:
This extension does not support comments at the entry level.

Parameters

rarfile: A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open.

Return Values

Returns the comment or null if there is none.

Note:
RAR has currently no support for unicode comments. The encoding of the result of this function is not specified, but it will probably be Windows-1252.

Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('commented.rar'); 
echo $rar_arch->getComment();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

This is the comment of the file commented.rar.

<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('commented.rar'); 
echo rar_comment_get($rar_arch);
?>
