PharFileInfo::setMetadata — Sets file-specific meta-data saved with a file
$metadata 
   )PharFileInfo::setMetadata() should only be used to store customized data in a file that cannot be represented with existing information stored with a file. Meta-data can significantly slow down the performance of loading a phar archive if the data is large, or if there are many files containing meta-data. It is important to note that file permissions are natively supported inside a phar; it is possible to set them with the PharFileInfo::chmod() method. As with all functionality that modifies the contents of a phar, the phar.readonly INI variable must be off in order to succeed if the file is within a Phar archive. Files within PharData archives do not have this restriction.
Some possible uses for meta-data include passing a user/group that should be set when a file is extracted from the phar to disk. Other uses could include explicitly specifying a MIME type to return. However, any useful data that describes a file, but should not be contained inside of it may be stored.

Example #1 A PharFileInfo::setMetadata() example
  <?php
 // make sure it doesn't exist
 @ unlink ( 'brandnewphar.phar' );
try {
     $p  = new  Phar ( dirname ( __FILE__ ) .  '/brandnewphar.phar' ,  0 ,  'brandnewphar.phar' );
     $p [ 'file.txt' ] =  'hello' ;
     $p [ 'file.txt' ]-> setMetadata (array( 'user'  =>  'bill' ,  'mime-type'  =>  'text/plain' ));
     var_dump ( $p [ 'file.txt' ]-> getMetaData ());
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
    echo  'Could not create/modify phar: ' ,  $e ;
}
 ?>   以上例程会输出:
array(2) {
  ["user"]=>
  string(4) "bill"
  ["mime-type"]=>
  string(10) "text/plain"
}
