Phar::createDefaultStub - Create a phar-file format specific stub

SYNOPSIS

       finalpublicstatic string Phar::createDefaultStub ([string  $indexfile], [string	$webindexfile])

DESCRIPTION

	This method is intended for creation of phar-file format-specific stubs, and is not intended for use with tar- or zip-based phar archives.

	Phar archives contain a bootstrap loader, or stub written in PHP that is executed when the archive is executed in PHP either via include:

       <?php
       include 'myphar.phar';
       ?>

       php myphar.phar

	This  method provides a simple and easy method to create a stub that will run a startup file from the phar archive. In addition, different
       files can be specified for running the phar archive from the command line  versus  through  a  web  server.  The  loader  stub  also  calls
       Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) to allow easy bundling of a PHP application that accesses the file system. If the phar extension is not present,
       the loader stub will extract the phar archive to a temporary directory and then operate on the files. A shutdown function erases the tempo-
       rary files on exit.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  a  string  containing	the  contents of a customized bootstrap loader (stub) that allows the created Phar archive to work with or
       without the Phar extension enabled.

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	Throws UnexpectedValueException if either parameter is longer than 400 bytes.
