PHP 7.0.6 Released

    Phar::isValidPharFilename

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

    Phar::isValidPharFilename — Returns 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).
