RarArchive::getEntries

rar_list

(PECL rar >= 2.0.0)

RarArchive::getEntries -- rar_listGet full list of entries from the RAR archive

Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public RarArchive::getEntries(): array|false

Procedural style:

rar_list(RarArchive $rarfile): array|false

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().

Return Values

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

Changelog

Version Description
PECL rar 3.0.0 Support for RAR archives with repeated entry names is no longer defective.

Examples

Example #1 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)

Example #2 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);
?>

Can be usefult for many, probably:
<?php
$path 
= 'path/to/archive';

$archive = RarArchive::open($path);
$list       = $archive ->getEntries();
foreach (
$list as $entity) {
   
//print just title of file from archive(use getters to access other fields, etc)
   
echo $value->getName();
}
?>
