Description:
------------
Example #1 A PharData::decompress() example

<?php
$p = new PharData('/path/to/my.tar', 0, 'my.tar.gz');
$p['myfile.txt'] = 'hi';
$p['myfile2.txt'] = 'hi';
$p3 = $p2->decompress(); // creates /path/to/my.tar
?>
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/phardata.decompress
---

On the line:

$p3 = $p2->decompress(); // creates /path/to/my.tar


$p2 is clearly undefined. The line should probably be changed to:

$p2 = $p->decompress(); // creates /path/to/my.tar

Thanks for reporting this issue. The example is definitely wrong,
but simply changing to $p->decompress() is not supposed to work,
either.

It seems the example has been copied from PharData::compress(),
and only superficially been adapted. IMO, the example should be
replaced with a simple example showing how to decompress an
already existing compressed archive.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
