PHP Manual: Close RAR archive and free all resources

Object oriented style (method):

public bool RarArchive::close ( void )

Procedural style:

bool rar_close ( RarArchive $rarfile )

Close RAR archive and free all allocated resources.

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Version	Description
2.0.0	The RAR entries returned by RarArchive::getEntry and RarArchive::getEntries are now invalidated when calling this method. This means that all instance methods called for such entries and not guaranteed to succeed.

Example #1 Object oriented style


<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('latest_winrar.rar');
echo $rar_arch."\n";
$rar_arch->close();
echo $rar_arch."\n";
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

RAR Archive "D:\php_rar\trunk\tests\latest_winrar.rar"
RAR Archive "D:\php_rar\trunk\tests\latest_winrar.rar" (closed)

Example #2 Procedural style


<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('latest_winrar.rar');
echo $rar_arch."\n";
rar_close($rar_arch);
echo $rar_arch."\n";
?>
