Get full list of entries from the RAR archive

(PECL rar >= 2.0.0)

RarArchive::getEntries -- rar_list — Get full list of entries from the RAR archive

### Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public RarArchive::getEntries(): array|false

Procedural style:

rar_list(RarArchive `$rarfile`): array|false

Get entries list (files and directories) from the RAR archive.

> Note: If the archive has entries with the same name, this method, together with RarArchive `foreach` iteration and array-like access with numeric indexes, are the only ones to access all the entries (i.e., RarArchive::getEntry() and the `rar://` wrapper are insufficient).

### Parameters

`rarfile`
  A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open().

### Return Values

rar_list() returns array of RarEntry objects or `false` on failure.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
PECL rar 3.0.0 | Support for RAR archives with repeated entry names is no longer defective.

### Examples

Example #1 Object-oriented style

`<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entries = $rar_arch->getEntries();
if ($rar_entries === FALSE)
die("Could not retrieve entries.");
echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries.\n";
foreach ($rar_entries as $e) {
echo $e;
echo "\n";
}
$rar_arch->close();
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    Found 2 entries.
    RarEntry for file "tese.txt" (23b93a7a)
    RarEntry for file "unrardll.txt" (2ed64b6e)

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entries = rar_list($rar_arch);
if ($rar_entries === FALSE)
die("Could retrieve entries.");
echo "Found " . count($rar_entries) . " entries.\n";
foreach ($rar_entries as $e) {
echo $e;
echo "\n";
}
rar_close($rar_arch);
?>`
