so I have a zip file in directory
/pathdodir/the zip file.zip
so I do this:
$dir = 'phar:///pathdodir/the zip file.zip';
$file = scandir($dir);
print_r($file);
but then this ends up complaining about
"failed to open dir: phar error: invalid url or non-existent phar"
if I rename the zip file such that it has without spaces though ie to thezipfile.zip and then change $dir to thezipfile.zip as well, phar would work and it would print_r the files inside that zip accordingly...
how do I make it so that phar would also work even if there are spaces in the filename?
The file name you use - phar:///pathdodir/the zip file.zip - is an URL; it has a schema (phar://).
You have to url-encode special characters in URLs, and the space is encoded as %20.
