RarArchive::setAllowBroken

(PECL rar >= 3.0.0)

RarArchive::setAllowBrokenWhether opening broken archives is allowed

Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public RarArchive::setAllowBroken(bool $allow_broken): bool

Procedural style:

rar_allow_broken_set(RarArchive $rarfile, bool $allow_broken): bool

This method defines whether broken archives can be read or all the operations that attempt to extract the archive entries will fail. Broken archives are archives for which no error is detected when the file is opened but an error occurs when reading the entries.

Parameters

rarfile

A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open().

allow_broken

Whether to allow reading broken files (true) or not (false).

Return Values

Returns true or false on failure. It will only fail if the file has already been closed.

Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

<?php
function retnull() { return null; }
$file dirname(__FILE__) . "/multi_broken.part1.rar";
/* Third argument omits "volume not found" message */
$a RarArchive::open($filenull'retnull');
$a->setAllowBroken(true);
foreach (
$a->getEntries() as $e) {
    echo 
"$e\n";
}
var_dump(count($a));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

RarEntry for file "file1.txt" (52b28202)
int(1)

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php
function retnull() { return null; }
$file dirname(__FILE__) . "/multi_broken.part1.rar";
/* Third argument omits "volume not found" message */
$a rar_open($filenull'retnull');
rar_allow_broken_set($atrue);
foreach (
rar_list($a) as $e) {
    echo 
"$e\n";
}
var_dump(count($a));
?>
