# PharFileInfo::setUncompressed

(PECL phar:1.0.0-1.2.1)

PharFileInfo::setUncompressed — Uncompresses the current Phar entry within the phar, if it is compressed

### Description

bool PharFileInfo::setUncompressed ( void )

> Note: This method has been removed from the phar extension as of version 2.0.0. Alternative implementations are available using PharFileInfo::isCompressed(), PharFileInfo::decompress(), and PharFileInfo::compress().

This method decompresses the file inside the Phar archive. Depending on how the file is compressed, the bzip2 or zlib extensions must be enabled to take advantage of this feature. As with all functionality that modifies the contents of a phar, the phar.readonly INI variable must be off in order to succeed.

### Errors/Exceptions

Throws BadMethodCallException if the phar.readonly INI variable is on, or if the bzip2/zlib extension is not available.

### Examples

Example #1 A PharFileInfo::setUncompressed() example

`<?php
try {
$p = new Phar('/path/to/my.phar', 0, 'my.phar');
$p['myfile.txt'] = 'hi';
$file = $p['myfile.txt'];
$file->setCompressedGZ();
var_dump($file->isCompressed());
$p['myfile.txt']->setUncompressed();
var_dump($file->isCompressed());
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Create/modify failed for my.phar: ', $e;
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    bool(true)
    bool(false)
