Phar::convertToExecutable — Convert a phar archive to another executable phar archive file format

### Beschreibung

public Phar Phar::convertToExecutable ([ int `$format` = 9021976 [, int `$compression` = 9021976 [, string `$extension` ]]] )

> Hinweis:

> Diese Methode des Phar-Objekts funktioniert nur wenn die php.ini-Einstellung phar.readonly auf 0 gesetzt ist, sonst wird eine PharException geworfen.

This method is used to convert a phar archive to another file format. For instance, it can be used to create a tar-based executable phar archive from a zip-based executable phar archive, or from an executable phar archive in the phar file format. In addition, it can be used to apply whole-archive compression to a tar or phar-based archive.

If no changes are specified, this method throws a BadMethodCallException.

If successful, the method creates a new archive on disk and returns a Phar object. The old archive is not removed from disk, and should be done manually after the process has finished.

### Parameter-Liste

`format`

  This should be one of Phar::PHAR, Phar::TAR, or Phar::ZIP. If set to `NULL`, the existing file format will be preserved.

`compression`

  This should be one of Phar::NONE for no whole-archive compression, Phar::GZ for zlib-based compression, and Phar::BZ2 for bzip-based compression.

`extension`

  This parameter is used to override the default file extension for a converted archive. Note that all zip- and tar-based phar archives must contain .phar in their file extension in order to be processed as a phar archive.

  If converting to a phar-based archive, the default extensions are .phar, .phar.gz, or .phar.bz2 depending on the specified compression. For tar-based phar archives, the default extensions are .phar.tar, .phar.tar.gz, and .phar.tar.bz2. For zip-based phar archives, the default extension is .phar.zip.

### Rückgabewerte

The method returns a Phar object on success and throws an exception on failure.

### Fehler/Exceptions

This method throws BadMethodCallException when unable to compress, an unknown compression method has been specified, the requested archive is buffering with Phar::startBuffering() and has not concluded with Phar::stopBuffering(), an UnexpectedValueException if write support is disabled, and a PharException if any problems are encountered during the phar creation process.

### Beispiele

Beispiel #1 A Phar::convertToExecutable() example

Using Phar::convertToExecutable():

`<?php
try {
$tarphar = new Phar('myphar.phar.tar');
// convert it to the phar file format
// note that myphar.phar.tar is *not* unlinked
$phar = $tarphar->convertToExecutable(Phar::PHAR); // creates myphar.phar
$phar->setStub($phar->createDefaultStub('cli.php', 'web/index.php'));
// creates myphar.phar.tgz
$compressed = $phar->convertToExecutable(Phar::TAR, Phar::GZ, '.phar.tgz');
} catch (Exception $e) {
// handle the error here
}
?>`
