Phar::isValidPharFilename

(PHP >= 5.3.0, PECL phar >= 1.2.0)

Phar::isValidPharFilenameReturns whether the given filename is a valid phar filename

Description

final public static bool Phar::isValidPharFilename ( string $filename [, bool $executable = true ] )

Returns whether the given filename is a valid phar filename that will be recognized as a phar archive by the phar extension. This can be used to test a name without having to instantiate a phar archive and catch the inevitable Exception that will be thrown if an invalid name is specified.

Parameters

filename

The name or full path to a phar archive not yet created

executable

This parameter determines whether the filename should be treated as a phar executable archive, or a data non-executable archive

Return Values

Returns TRUE if the filename is valid, FALSE if not.

Note, that this method accepts _everything_ (=> returns 'true'), when $executable is 'false' as long as the filename contains at least a dot

var_dump(\PharData::isValidPharFilename('randomstring.y', false));
bool(true)

This is not wrong at all, because I can name an archive like I want, but it makes the method completely useless (when $executable == false).
