But I have another good reason which will hinder that: "Phars support compression using gzip if the zlib extension is present, and using bzip2 if the bz2 extension is present." As far as I know that are two different compression formats!? So you need to handle three types of archives. Are you going to provide three versions of every archive? Regards, Oliver
