The phar extension provides the phar stream wrapper and the Phar class for manipulating self-contained PHP Archive (phar) files. The Phar class can be used to create and to extract contents of phar files as well as iterating over their contents. PHP Archive files (Phars) are special collections of files that can be transparently run right out of the file, similar to Java's jar archive files.
