RarArchive::getEntry -- rar_entry_get — Get entry object from the RAR archive

### Description

Object oriented style (method):

public RarArchive::getEntry ( string `$entryname` ) : RarEntry|false

Procedural style:

rar_entry_get ( RarArchive `$rarfile` , string `$entryname` ) : RarEntry|false

Get entry object (file or directory) from the RAR archive.

> Note:

> You can also get entry objects using RarArchive::getEntries().

> Note that a RAR archive can have multiple entries with the same name; this method will retrieve only the first.

### Parameters

`rarfile`

  A RarArchive object, opened with rar_open().

`entryname`

  Path to the entry within the RAR archive.

  > Note:

  > The path must be the same returned by RarEntry::getName().

### Return Values

Returns the matching RarEntry object or `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

`<?php
$rar_arch = RarArchive::open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entry = $rar_arch->getEntry('tese.txt');
if ($rar_entry === FALSE)
die("Could not get such entry");
echo get_class($rar_entry)."\n";
echo $rar_entry;
$rar_arch->close();
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    RarEntry
    RarEntry for file "tese.txt" (23b93a7a)

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
$rar_arch = rar_open('solid.rar');
if ($rar_arch === FALSE)
die("Could not open RAR archive.");
$rar_entry = rar_entry_get($rar_arch, 'tese.txt');
if ($rar_entry === FALSE)
die("Could not get such entry");
echo get_class($rar_entry)."\n";
echo $rar_entry;
rar_close($rar_arch);
?>`
