RarArchive::getEntries

rar_list

(PECL rar >= 2.0.0)

RarArchive::getEntries -- rar_list — Get 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();

}

?>
