README

Distribute your PHP extension as self-installable phar executable. See https://pharext.org

About

You don't need this package to install any *.ext.phar extension packages, just run them with php:

$ ./pecl_http-2.4.2.ext.phar

For a compressed phar, or if the execute permission bit got lost somehow:

$ php pecl_http-2.4.2.ext.phar.gz

Command help:

$ ./pecl_http-2.4.2.ext.phar -h

Yields:

pharext v3.0.0 (c) Michael Wallner <[e-mail]>

$ ./pecl_http-2.4.2.ext.phar [-hvqs] [-p|-n|-c|-i <arg>]

Place it as pharext.pubkey in the same directory where the pharext binary is located. IF you cloned the repository or installed pharext through composer, it is already at the right location.

Please have a look at the wiki, to learn how to use the pharext installer to package self-installing PHP extensions.
