From manual page: http://www.php.net/phardata.copy#Examples
---
The output of the top half of the example claims to be "hi", but the output is actually "phar:///path/to/myphar.tar/b"

What is the way with the least overhead to pull a file's content out of a PharData? I was hoping to be able to access the file content through the ArrayAccess, but so far only file_get_contents and readfile have worked. Thanks.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
try {
    $phar = new PharData('myphar.tar');
    $phar['a'] = 'hi';
    $phar->copy('a', 'b');
    echo $phar['b']; // outputs "hi"
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle error
}

Expected result:
----------------
hi

Actual result:
--------------
phar:///path/to/myphar.tar/b

It is excepted that the ArrayAccess returns the path to the file rather than its contents (as Phar::offsetGet() which is inherited does).

Phar provides a class named PharFileInfo that can be used to fetch the file contents, but you have to read it line by line (see: http://dk.php.net/manual/en/pharfileinfo.construct.php), so using the filesystem functions would be more simplified.

I corrected the example for what it outputs.
