RarArchive::getEntries

(PECL rar >= 2.0.0)

Get full list of entries from the RAR archive

public array RarArchive::getEntries ( void )

Object oriented style (method):

Procedural style:

array rar_list ( RarArchive $rarfile )

Get entries list (files and directories) from the RAR archive.

Note:

If the archive has entries with the same name, this method, together with RarArchive foreach iteration and array-like access with numeric indexes, are the only ones to access all the entries (i.e., RarArchive::getEntry() and the rar:// wrapper are insufficient).

Parameters:

rarfile

A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open().

Returns:

rar_list() returns array of RarEntry objects or FALSE on failure.

Changelog:

3.0.0

Support for RAR archives with repeated entry names is no longer defective.

Examples:

Object oriented style

<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
    die("Could not open RAR archive.");
 
$rar_entries = $rar_arch->getEntries();
if ($rar_entries === FALSE)
    die("Could not retrieve entries.");
 
echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries.\n";
 
foreach ($rar_entries as $e) {
    echo $e;
    echo "\n";
}
$rar_arch->close();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Found 2 entries.
RarEntry for file "tese.txt" (23b93a7a)
RarEntry for file "unrardll.txt" (2ed64b6e)

Procedural style

<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
    die("Could not open RAR archive.");
 
$rar_entries = rar_list($rar_arch);
if ($rar_entries === FALSE)
    die("Could retrieve entries.");
 
echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries.\n";
 
foreach ($rar_entries as $e) {
    echo $e;
    echo "\n";
}
rar_close($rar_arch);
?>
