How to access to external files from Phar archives?

Question

I need to place config file out of phar of my web application. I need to mount it. In my stub file I tried:

<?php
try {
    Phar::mount('sites/site.php', __DIR__.'/../sites/site.php');
} catch (PharException $e) {
    print_r($e);
};
Phar::mapPhar();
include '../app.phar';

however, I got " Mounting of sites/site.php to D:\(...)\public/../sites/site.php failed" error message. I tried various file path styles without any success. What is wrong with it?

I use box2 to ubild phar files. It take a long time to build the phar file. Is there any way to make it faster?

The error message is also vague. Any way to get better message?

have you tried changing slashes `/` with anti slashes `\ ` ? Since you are on windows ? And even further : have you considered using [`DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR`](http://php.net/manual/en/dir.constants.php) constant to be sure that you are OS independent ? — β.εηοιτ.βε, May 31 '15 at 19:44
@b.enoit.be Windows accepts both ‍‍`/‍` and `\\` as directory separator. — Handsome Nerd, Jun 01 '15 at 12:22
On Linux this doesn't work as well. The problem is `__DIR__` which translates to `phar:///var/www/....`. If I use just a full path (`/var/www/...`), then the mounting works fine. — VolenD, Jun 02 '15 at 22:09

Have you tried to use an internal phar uri as a mounting point like:

 Phar::mount('phar://sites/site.php', __DIR__.'/../sites/site.php');

Also I don't know if the problem could be due the sites subdir, did you try:

 Phar::mount('site.php', __DIR__.'/../sites/site.php');
