WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> remove a file from a phar

Description

bool Phar::offsetUnset ( string $offset )

Note: This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException will be thrown.

This is an implementation of the ArrayAccess interface allowing direct manipulation of the contents of a Phar archive using array access brackets. offsetUnset is used for deleting an existing file, and is called by the unset() language construct.

Parameters

offset: The filename (relative path) to modify in a Phar.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Errors/Exceptions

if phar.readonly is 1, BadMethodCallException is thrown, as modifying a Phar is only allowed when phar.readonly is set to 0. Throws PharException if there are any problems flushing changes made to the Phar archive to disk.
