didn't you just reinvent the PHAR? http://docs.php.net/manual/en/intro.phar.php Phar archives are best characterized as a convenient way to group several files into a single file. As such, a phar archive provides a way to distribute a complete PHP application in a single file and run it from that file without the need to extract it to disk. Additionally, phar archives can be executed by PHP as easily as any other file, both on the commandline and from a web server. The Phar extension is built into PHP as of PHP version 5.3.0 so you don't need to explicitly install it. It's already present in PHP -- Alexey Zakhlestin CTO at Grids.by/you https://github.com/indeyets PGP key: http://indeyets.ru/alexey.zakhlestin.pgp.asc
