Features

• pack PHP MvcCore application into single PHP file
• pack any PHP application into PHAR archive

Installation

composer require mvccore/packager

Configuration

• directory with whole app source to pack (/development/...)
• result index.php file where to store packed result
• no needs to define PHP scripts order anymore - automatic order detecting by reading PHP scripts
• exclude patterns by regular expressions to exclude any files or folders from app source
• string replacements applied on every packed PHP file before minimalization
• minimalizing PHTML templates
• minimalizing PHP scripts
• PHP packing has now 4 options, how implemented file system wrapping functions could behave:
  • strict package mode (\Packager_Php::FS_MODE_STRICT_PACKAGE) (everything is only possible to get from index.php, very fast for specific application types in IIS/PHP/op_cache)
  • strict hard drive mode (\Packager_Php::FS_MODE_STRICT_HDD) (no file system wrapping functions)
  • php library mode (\Packager_Php::FS_MODE_PHP_LIBRARY) (no file system wrapping functions, no PHP code replacements except namespace merge)
  • preserve php package mode (\Packager_Php::FS_MODE_PRESERVE_PACKAGE) (first there is check if it is possible to get anything from index.php, then from hard drive)
  • preserve hard drive mode (\Packager_Php::FS_MODE_PRESERVE_HDD) (first there is check if it is possible to get anything from hard drive, then from index.php)
• there are implemented those file system wrapping functions and constants:
  • __DIR__ and __FILE__
  • require_once();, include_once();, require();, include();
  • new DirectoryIterator();, new SplFileInfo();
  • readfile();, file_get_contents();
  • file_exists();, is_file();, is_dir();, mkdir(), filemtime();, filesize();
  • simplexml_load_file();, parse_ini_file();, md5_file();
• possibility to define which file system wrapping functions should be keeped and not wrapped
• for PHP packing - possibility to define files by extension how to store them inside index.php result
  • pure text
  • php code
  • binary
  • gzipped content
  • base64 encoded content
