# Phar::setStub

(PECL phar:1.0.0-1.2.1)

Phar::setStub — Used to set the PHP loader or bootstrap stub of a Phar archive

### Description

void Phar::setStub ( string `$stub` )

> Note: This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException will be thrown.

This method is used to add a PHP bootstrap loader stub to a new Phar archive, or to replace the loader stub in an existing Phar archive.

The loader stub for a Phar archive is used whenever an archive is included directly as in this example:

`<?php
include 'myphar.phar';
?>`

The loader is not accessed when including a file through the phar stream wrapper like so:

`<?php
include 'phar://myphar.phar/somefile.php';
?>`

### Parameters

`stub`

  A string or an open stream handle to use as the executable stub for this phar archive.

### Errors/Exceptions

UnexpectedValueException is thrown if phar.readonly is enabled in php.ini. PharException is thrown if any problems are encountered flushing changes to disk.

### Examples

Example#1 A Phar::setStub() example

`<?php
try {
$p = new Phar(dirname(__FILE__) . '/brandnewphar.phar', 0, 'brandnewphar.phar');
$p['a.php'] = '<?php var_dump("Hello");';
$p->setStub('<?php var_dump("First"); Phar::mapPhar("brandnewphar.phar"); __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>');
include 'phar://brandnewphar.phar/a.php';
var_dump($p->getStub());
$p['b.php'] = '<?php var_dump("World");';
$p->setStub('<?php var_dump("Second"); Phar::mapPhar("brandnewphar.phar"); __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>');
include 'phar://brandnewphar.phar/b.php';
var_dump($p->getStub());
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Write operations failed on brandnewphar.phar: ', $e;
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    string(5) "Hello"
    string(82) "<?php var_dump("First"); Phar::mapPhar("brandnewphar.phar"); __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>"
    string(5) "World"
    string(83) "<?php var_dump("Second"); Phar::mapPhar("brandnewphar.phar"); __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>"
