Phar::isCompressed

(PHP >= 5.3.0, PECL phar >= 2.0.0)

Returns Phar::GZ or PHAR::BZ2 if the entire phar archive is compressed (.tar.gz/tar.bz and so on)

public mixed Phar::isCompressed ( void )

Note:

This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException will be thrown.

Returns Phar::GZ or PHAR::BZ2 if the entire phar archive is compressed (.tar.gz/tar.bz and so on). Zip-based phar archives cannot be compressed as a file, and so this method will always return FALSE if a zip-based phar archive is queried.

Returns:

Phar::GZ, Phar::BZ2 or FALSE

Examples:

A Phar::isCompressed() example

<?php
try {
    $phar1 = new Phar('myphar.zip.phar');
    var_dump($phar1->isCompressed());
    $phar2 = new Phar('myuncompressed.tar.phar');
    var_dump($phar2->isCompressed());
    $phar2->compress(Phar::GZ);
    var_dump($phar2->isCompressed() == Phar::GZ);
} catch (Exception $e) {
}
?>

The above example will output:

bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(true)
