PHP Archives
While playing around with a CVS version of PHP 5.3 I recognized a new core feature. It enables runtime execution and creation of PHP archives (short phar). I ran some tests on my local machine and started writing a small blog application, able to run from inside a phar. The result is an article about this - in my opinion - great feature of the upcoming php version 5.3.
I considered it useful to have tool like tar or rar to pack or extract php archives without the need of an installed php version, so I decided to write such a tool. You can find the early project snapshots on my project page c0demonkey.com.
