Description:
------------
The php_rar.dll that can be downloaded from http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_0/ does not appear to be a valid php extension dll.

I tried to inspect it, and it doesn't export any function (while other extensions export a get_module function)

Reproduce code:
---------------
I downloaded and installed the php_rar.dll from snaps.php.net (copied in the extension folder, changed the ini file). 


Expected result:
----------------
It should start and make the rar_* function available

Actual result:
--------------
When I start php,  I get a popup that says "PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'php_rar.dll'" and this text on the standard output: "PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'php_rar.dll'  in Unknown 
on line 0"

Try the latest snapshots; it should be fixed as of a couple of days ago.

I tried this file: http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_0/php_rar.dll (02-Jun-2005 18:57 128k), and it still does not work with the same symptoms (popup + text) and probably the same reason (still no exported functions)

Have you guys solved the problem?
I found this PHP extension today, and it would be really usefull for a script that I?m planning to make.
So please tell me if you have the solution

I have just tried the latest php_rar.dll from the http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_0/ folder it is dated 02-Jun-2005 18:57 and still does not work. I am getting the same error as reported before. The Dll does not appear to have been updates like the rest of the files in the folder. and the http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_1/ does not have it either.

Has this dll been ditched? or just not maintained?

Thank you

I don't have Win32 build environment (and I doubt I'll get it in the nearest future), so I have no idea why the same code works fine on *nix and is fscked up on Win32.
There are too few developers that use Win32 for developing PHP extensions and none of them have time to look into this issue.
If you want it working - feel free to invest some time & knowledge, it would be really appreciated.

I can't find this dll file anymore on the site. :)
Anyone having time to fix this dll file? :)

oh dear.  What a shame.  I dont like the way that PHP coders are biast towards unix.  PHP is an interpreted language which means it will run on any platform that is php compatable.

I suspect the problem is to do with hash values or something.  Its failing before its even started to bother reading the file.  I think someone needs to recompile it and relaunch it on the site cos this is just gay.

I'm trying to use this extension too on Win32 and getting warning messages when opening the rar file. The php_rar.dll file I used from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_rar.dll is dated 2007-08-17 (PHP5.2 version). Since most posts are way back in 2005, does this extension actually exist back then because according to www.php.net the rar_* functions don't have versioning: "(No version information available, might be only in CVS)".
