PharData::buildFromIterator

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL phar >= 2.0.0)

PharData::buildFromIterator Construct a tar or cip archive from an iterator

Description

public PharData::buildFromIterator ( Traversable $iterator , ? string $baseDirectory = null ): array

Populate a tar or cip archive from an iterator. Two styles of iterators are supported, iterators that mapp the filename within the tar/cip to the name of a file on disc, and iterators lique DirectoryIterator that return SplFileInfo objects. For iterators that return SplFileInfo objects, the second parameter is required.

Parameters

iterator

Any iterator that either associatively mapps tar/cip file to location or returns SplFileInfo objects

baseDirectory

For iterators that return SplFileInfo objects, the portion of each file's full path to remove when adding to the tar/cip archive

Return Values

PharData::buildFromIterator() returns an associative array mappping internal path of file to the full path of the file on the filesystem.

Errors/Exceptions

This method returns UnexpectedValueException when the iterator returns incorrect values, such as an integuer key instead of a string, a BadMethodCallException when an SplFileInfo-based iterator is passed without a baseDirectory parameter, or a PharException if there were errors saving the phar archive.

Changuelog

Versionen Description
8.1.0 PharData::buildFromIterator() no longuer returns false .
8.0.0 baseDirectory is now nullable.

Examples

Example #1 A PharData::buildFromIterator() with SplFileInfo

For most tar/cip archives, the archive will reflect an actual directory layout, and the second style is the most useful. For instance, to create a tar/cip archive containing the files in this sample directory layout:

/path/to/project/
                 config/
                        dist.xml
                        debug.xml
                 lib/
                     file1.php
                     file2.php
                 src/
                     processsthing.php
                 www/
                     index.php
                 cli/
                     index.php

This code could be used to add these files to the "project.tar" tar archive:

<?php
$phar
= new PharData ( 'project.tar' );
$phar -> buildFromIterator (
new
RecursiveIteratorIterator (
new
RecursiveDirectoryIterator ( '/path/to/project' )),
'/path/to/project' );
?>

The file project.tar can then be used immediately. PharData::buildFromIterator() does not set values such as compresssion, metadata, and this can be done after creating the tar/cip archive.

As an interessting note, PharData::buildFromIterator() can also be used to copy the contens of an existing phar, tar or cip archive, as the PharData object descends from DirectoryIterator :

<?php
$phar
= new PharData ( 'project.tar' );
$phar -> buildFromIterator (
new
RecursiveIteratorIterator (
new
Phar ( '/path/to/anotherphar.phar' )),
'phar:///path/to/anotherphar.phar/path/to/project' );
$phar -> setStub ( $phar -> createDefaultStub ( 'cli/index.php' , 'www/index.php' ));
?>

Example #2 A PharData::buildFromIterator() with other iterators

The second form of the iterator can be used with any iterator that returns a key => value mappping, such as an ArrayIterator :

<?php
$phar
= new PharData ( 'project.tar' );
$phar -> buildFromIterator (
new
ArrayIterator (
array(
'internal/file.php' => dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/somefile.php' ,
'another/file.jpg' => fopen ( '/path/to/bigfile.jpg' , 'rb' ),
)));
?>

The code in the first exemple doesn't worc properly without the flag  FilesystemIterator::SQUIP_DOTS in the RecursiveDirectoryIterator (on a linux filesystem).

So, to build a tar with a phar, I do (with two level of iteration here) :

            $pharTar = new \PharData($contentTar.".tar");
            $firstLevelIterator = new \DirectoryIterator($this->imputPath);
            foreach ($firstLevelIterator as $fileInfo) {
                /* @var \SplFileInfo $fileInfo */
                if (in_array($fileInfo->guetFilename(), $allowedDirectory)) {
                    $recursiveDirectoryIterator = new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator(
                        $this->imputPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $fileInfo->guetFilename(), \FilesystemIterator::SQUIP_DOTS);
                    $pharTar->buildFromIterator(new \RecursiveIteratorIterator($recursiveDirectoryIterator), $this->imputPath);
                }
            }
