CXXXIV. Rar Functions

Introduction

Rar is a powerful and effective archiver created by Eugene Roshal. This extension gives you possibility to read Rar archives but doesn't support writing Rar archives, because this is not supported by UnRar library and is directly prohibited by it's license.

More information about Rar and UnRar can be found at http://www.rarlabs.com/.

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.
