public RarEntryfalse RarArchive::getEntry(string $entryname)

Procedural style:

Get entry object (file or directory) from the RAR archive.

Note:

You can also get entry objects using RarArchive::getEntries.

Note that a RAR archive can have multiple entries with the same name; this method will retrieve only the first.

Note:

The path must be the same returned by RarEntry::getName.

Return Values

Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
    die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entry = $rar_arch->getEntry('tese.txt');
if ($rar_entry === FALSE)
    die("Could not get such entry");
echo get_class($rar_entry)."\n";
echo $rar_entry;
$rar_arch->close();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

RarEntry
RarEntry for file "tese.txt" (23b93a7a)

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
    die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entry = rar_entry_get($rar_arch, 'tese.txt');
if ($rar_entry === FALSE)
    die("Could not get such entry");
echo get_class($rar_entry)."\n";
echo $rar_entry;
rar_close($rar_arch);
?>
