Error for a php script and phar file `ERROR: manifest length read was "11636290" should be "182976516"`

Question

Ive got a php script that that is essentially a GUI for for editing and saving names and phone numbers to an XML file on a server.

The script itself contains an index.php with the following, a directory for storing the XML and a .phar file, the index.php references both as follows :

<?php 

$properties = array(
    'directory' => __DIR__ . '/pb',         // default directory of the XML files
    'defaultFileName' => 'contacts.xml',    // default phonebook file
    'debug' => false,                        // debug mode
);

// Don't edit below this line
$properties['rootDirectory'] = __DIR__.'/';
require_once 'yealink-phonebook.phar';

When i got to the root of the directory where the index.php is housed i get the following error

ERROR: manifest length read was "11636290" should be "182976516"

I have a search around but couldnt find any info on the particular error, any idea what it means and how it can be resolved ?

For reference the script is part of this repo : https://github.com/octivi/yealink-phonebook.

Ive noticed that on this server its running php 5.2.17 - could that be causing the issue ?

UPDATE i think the 11636290 part of the error may be related to the size of the phar file which is 11636290 bytes. eg. 11.6mb - not sure how that helps though but noticed they where the same.

Answer 1

i had to enable phar extension in php settings
