Functions

validateTarStructure()

Validates the internal structure of a tar file.

validateTarStructure(string $filePath) : bool

This function checks whether the given file is a valid, readable tar archive. It uses the PharData class to attempt parsing the archive and iterates over a few entries to confirm structural integrity.

Note: Compressed tar files (e.g., .tar.gz, .tar.bz2) are not supported directly. Decompress them before using this function.

Parameters
$filePath : string

Path to the tar file.

var_dump( validateTarStructure( '/path/to/archive.tar.gz'  ) ); // false (must decompress first)
var_dump( validateTarStructure( '/path/to/not_a_tar.txt'   ) ); // false
