Failed opening Silex/Application.php

I created a simple php file with this source:
<pre>
require_once __DIR__ . '/silex.phar';
$app = new Silex\Application();
</pre>

It then throw this php fatal error:
 PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required 'phar:///home/laurent/projects/bishop/silex.phar/src/Silex/Application.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in phar:///home/laurent/projects/bishop/silex.phar/vendor/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/UniversalClassLoader.php on line 60

I have same kind of php error if I try to use silex in command line. For example:
<pre>
php silex.phar version
</pre>

My PHP version is: 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2

Have you tried this?

Yes I have tried it like that:
<pre>
  require_once __DIR__ . '/silex.phar';
  require_once 'phar://'.__DIR__.'/silex.phar/autoload.php';
  $app = new Silex\Application();
</pre>
But I still have the same error then :-(

I have not run into this issue yet, but do you need to include the PHAR and the autoloader.php to get it running?

I would think that this would work:

    //require_once __DIR__ . '/silex.phar';
    require_once 'phar://'.__DIR__.'/silex.phar/autoload.php';
    $app = new Silex\Application();

Nope it is still not working.

With this code
<pre>
  require_once 'phar://'.__DIR__.'/silex.phar/autoload.php';
  $app = new Silex\Application();
</pre>
I still have the error
<pre>
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required 'phar:///home/laurent/projects/silex/silex.phar/src/Silex/Application.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in phar:///home/laurent/projects/silex/silex.phar/vendor/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/UniversalClassLoader.php on line 60
</pre>

What version of PHP are you running this with?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw your first post comment. Is there any way this could be using a older version of PHP?

Have you try this? Can you find the setting of Suhosin on your phpinfo page?
http://silex-project.org/doc/usage.html#php-configuration

> suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar

I doubt the setting of Suhosin. If not, I'm sorry.

I finaly found the solution to my problem.
It comes from the ioncube loader for encoded files that I installed for decoding php encoded file in other projects: http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

Maybe it will be good to add this in Pitfalls section of documentation: http://silex-project.org/doc/usage.html#pitfalls

Thx anyway to all of you who tried to help me

@laurent35240 glad you found the problem.

It would seem that the obfuscating/compiling packages for PHP could play havoc with the phar.  phar packages are relatively new, and the compiler apps are 3rd party.   I was able to find a user having trouble using pear.phar here:

http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?p=8867&sid=9102e30d35990d6caebd85cc458ebd6c

I could not find a reference to the ticket referenced above as the company does not publicly list any tickets, and their ticketing system appears to be broken.  Perhaps a note in the documentation stating that "PHP compilers and obfuscation may cause issues as well" is in order.   Anyone on the list running any other compilers or obfuscation systems?

I added in documentation details about this problem and did a pull request here: https://github.com/fabpot/Silex/pull/104

I had the same issue but upgrading the ioncube loader to the latest version solved it. I used the 6th June 2011 version (v4.0.9).

Using last version of ioncube loader solved the issue for me too.

Good to see that ioncube manage correctly PHAR archive now.

Sweet! Do you want to make a pull request to the docs, mentioning this?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

by laurent35240 at 2011/07/14 14:16:21 -0700

Sure it will be nice to mention in documentation that upgrading ioncube can resolve this problem
