<para>
Much like the unix file system concept of mounting external devices to paths within the
directory tree, <function>Phar::mount</function> allows referring to external files
and directories as if they were inside of an archive. This allows powerful
abstraction such as referring to external configuration files as if they were
inside the archive.

<title>A <function>Phar::mount</function> example</title>
<para>
The following example shows accessing an external configuration file as if it were
a path within a phar archive.
</para>
<para>
First, the code inside of a phar archive:
</para>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$configuration = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents(
Phar::running(false) . '/config.xml'));
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
<para>
Next the external code used to mount the configuration file:
</para>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
// first set up the association between the abstract config.xml
// and the actual one on disk
Phar::mount('phar:///path/to/archive.phar/config.xml', '/home/example/config.xml');
// now run the application
include '/path/to/archive.phar';
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
<para>
Another method is to put the mounting code inside the stub of the phar archive.
Here is an example of setting up a default
configuration file if no user configuration is specified:
</para>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
// first set up the association between the abstract config.xml
// and the actual one on disk
if (defined('EXTERNAL_CONFIG')) {
Phar::mount('config.xml', EXTERNAL_CONFIG);
if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/extra_config.xml')) {
Phar::mount('extra.xml', __DIR__ . '/extra_config.xml');
}
} else {
Phar::mount('config.xml', 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/default_config.xml');
Phar::mount('extra.xml', 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/default_extra.xml');
}
// now run the application
include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/index.php';
__HALT_COMPILER();
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
<para>
...and the code externally to load this phar archive:
</para>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
define('EXTERNAL_CONFIG', '/home/example/config.xml');
// now run the application
include '/path/to/archive.phar';
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
</refsect1>
</refentry>
