pharext

Distribute your PHP extensions as self-installing PHAR archives

Usage

If you downloaded a *.ext.phar, just run it with PHP:

$ ./my_extension-1.0.2.ext.phar

If the package was signed with a private key, be sure to also have the public key available right besides the extension package (my_extension-1.2.0.ext.phar.pubkey in this case).

See "Usage of *.ext.phar packages" for more information.

$ ./bin/pharext --help
