This file describes all UnifiedArchive API.

TOC

UnifiedArchive is represented by few basic classes under \wapmorgan\UnifiedArchive namespace:

1. Formats keeps information about formats support and specific format functions.
2. Abilities list.
3. UnifiedArchive - represents an archive and provides related functions.
4. ArchiveEntry - represents information about a specific file from archive. This object can be obtained by call UnifiedArchive->getFileData() method.

Formats

$format should be one of Formats constants (such as Formats::ZIP and so on). Full list of constants provided in the appendix of this document. If you want to enabled specific format support, you need to install an additional program or php extension. List of extensions that should be installed can be obtained by executing built-in cam: ./vendor/bin/cam system:drivers

All methods are static.

Method	Arguments	Result	Description
Formats::detectArchiveFormat	string $archiveFileName, bool $contentCheck = true	?string	Detects a format of given archive by file name and content (when $contentCheck = true). Returns one of Formats constant or null if format is not detected.
Formats::getFormatMimeType	string $format	?string	Returns mime type for passed format. Returns null if not found.
Formats::can	string $format, int $ability	boolean	Check if any driver supports passed ability for passed format
Formats::canOpen, Formats::canStream, Formats::canCreate, Formats::canAppend, Formats::canUpdate, Formats::canEncrypt	string $format	boolean	Tests if an archive format can be opened/created/appended (add)/updated (delete)/created encrypted by any driver with current system and php configuration.

Archive opening

• UnifiedArchive::canOpen(string $fileName, bool $passwordProtected = false): boolean
  

  Tests if an archive (format is resolved by extension) can be opened with current system and php configuration. If you want to enabled specific format support, you need to install an additional program or php extension. List of extensions that should be installed can be obtained by executing built-in cam: ./vendor/bin/cam system:formats Returns true if given archive can be opened and false otherwise.

• UnifiedArchive::open(
      string $fileName,
      int[] $abilities = [],
      ?string $password = null
  ): UnifiedArchive|null
  

  Opens an archive and returns instance of UnifiedArchive. If you provide $password, it will be used to open encrypted archive. If you provide $abilities, it will be used to determine driver for format, that supports ALL of passed abilities. In case of failure (file is not readable or format is not supported or recognized), an InvalidArgumentException or UnsupportedArchiveException will be thrown.

• UnifiedArchive::getPclZipInterface(): PclzipZipInterface
  

  Returns a PclzipZipInterface handler for an archive. It provides all PclZip functions in PclZip-like interface for an archive.

• UnifiedArchive::can(int $ability): boolean
  

  Checks if current driver supports ability for archive.

Archive information

All following methods is intended to be called to UnifiedArchive instance.

Method	Result	Description
UnifiedArchive::getFormat()	string	Returns format of archive as one of Formats constants.
UnifiedArchive::getMimeType()	string/null	Returns mime type of archive.
UnifiedArchive::getSize()	int	Returns size of archive file in bytes.
UnifiedArchive::getCompressedSize()	int	Returns size of all stored files in archive with archive compression in bytes. This can be used to measure efficiency of format compression.
UnifiedArchive::getOriginalSize()	int	Returns size of all stored files in archive without compression in bytes. This can be used to measure size that extracted files will use.
UnifiedArchive::countFiles()	int	Returns number of files stored in an archive.
UnifiedArchive::getComment()	?string	Returns comment of archive or null (if not supported nor present).

Archive content

• UnifiedArchive::getFiles(?string $filter = null): string[]
  

  Returns full list of files stored in an archive. If $filter is passed, will return only matched by fnmatch() files.

• UnifiedArchive::hasFile(string $fileName): boolean
  

  Checks whether file is presented in an archive.

• UnifiedArchive::getFileData(string $fileName): ArchiveEntry
  

  Returns ArchiveEntry that contains all specific information about file stored in archive and described later in the document. If file is not in archive, NonExistentArchiveFileException is thrown.

• UnifiedArchive::getFileStream(string $fileName): resource
  

  Returns a resource of in-archive file that can be used to get it's content (by fread() and so on). This method of extraction is useful for large files or when you need to read files in portions. If file is not in archive, NonExistentArchiveFileException is thrown.

• UnifiedArchive::getFileContent(string $fileName): string
  

  Returns content of in-archive file as raw string. If file is not in archive, NonExistentArchiveFileException is thrown.

• UnifiedArchive::extract(string $outputFolder): int
  

  Extracts all archive content with full paths to output folder and rewriting existing files. In case of success, number of extracted files is returned.

  Throws:

  • ArchiveExtractionException

• UnifiedArchive::extract(
      string $outputFolder,
      array $files,
      boolean $expandFilesList = false
  ): int|false
  

  Extracts given files or directories to output folder. If directories is passed, you need to use $expandFilesList feature that will expand directory names to all nested files (e.g dir will be expanded to dir/file1, dir/file2, dir/subdir/file3). In case of success, number of extracted files is returned.

  Throws:

  • EmptyFileListException
  • ArchiveExtractionException

Archive modification

• UnifiedArchive::addFileFromString(
      string $inArchiveName,
      string $content
  ): boolean
  

  Packs file in an archive. If case of success, true is returned.

  Throws:

  • ArchiveModificationException

• UnifiedArchive::add(array|string $fileOrFilesList): int|false
  

  Packs given $fileOrFilesList into archive. $fileOrFilesList is a string or an array of files or directories. Syntax of $fileOrFilesList is described in UnifiedArchive::create method. If any error occurred (such as file already exists, files list is empty, ...), an \Exception is throwing. In case of success, number of packed files will be returned.

  Throws:

  • EmptyFileListException
  • UnsupportedOperationException
  • ArchiveModificationException

• UnifiedArchive::delete(
      string|array $fileOrFiles,
      $expandFilesList = false
  ): int|false
  

  Deletes passed $fileOrFiles from archive. $fileOrFiles is a string with file/directory name or an array of files or directories. In case of success, number of deleted files will be returned.

  Throws:

  • EmptyFileListException
  • UnsupportedOperationException
  • ArchiveModificationException

Making an archive

• UnifiedArchive::create(
      array|string $files,
      string $archiveName,
      int $compressionLevel = BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE,
      ?string $password = null,
      ?callable $fileProgressCallable = null
  ): int
  

  Creates an archive with given $files list and saves on disk. $files is an array of files or directories. If file/directory passed with numeric key (e.g ['file', 'directory']), then file/directory will have it's full (not relative) path in an archive. If passed with string keys, then there's path replacement. Example:

  • '/var/www/original/name.log', - file /var/www/original/name.log will be store with its original name;
  • '/var/www/site/runtime/logs', - directory contents will be stored as /var/www/site/runtime/logs, with its original name;
  • 'insideArchiveName.log' => '/var/www/original/name.log', - file /var/www/original/name.log will be stored as insideArchiveName.log in archive root;
  • 'insideArchiveDir' => '/var/www/site/runtime/logs', - directory contents will be stored in insideArchiveDir dir inside archive;
  • '' => ['/home/user1/docs', '/home/user2/docs'], - directories user1 and user2 docs contents will be merged and stored in archive root;

  In case of success, number of stored files will be returned.

  Creates an archive with all content from given directory and saves archive to $archiveName (format is resolved by extension). All files have relative path in the archive. By $compressionLevel you can adjust compression level for files. By $password you can set password for an archive. If case of success, true is returned.

  Available values for compression:

  • BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_NONE
  • BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_WEAK
  • BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE
  • BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_STRONG
  • BasicFormat::COMPRESSION_MAXIMUM

  Throws:

  • UnsupportedOperationException
  • FileAlreadyExistsException
  • EmptyFileListException
  • ArchiveCreationException

• UnifiedArchive::createInString(
        array|string $fileOrFiles,
        string $archiveFormat,
        int $compressionLevel = BasicDriver::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE,
        ?string $password = null,
        ?callable $fileProgressCallable = null
    )
  

  Creates an archive with given $fileOrFiles list and returns as string. $fileOrFiles is an array of files or directories.

ArchiveEntry

The class represents a file from archive as result of a call to UnifiedArchive::getFileData(string $fileName). It contains fields with file information:

• string $path - full file path in archive.
• integer $modificationTime - time of change of the file (the integer value containing number of seconds passed
• boolean $isCompressed - a flag indicates if file stored with compression.
• integer $compressedSize - size of the file with compression in bytes.
• integer $uncompressedSize - size of the file without compression in bytes. since the beginning of an era of Unix).
