<?php
class streamWrapper {
    protected $fp;

    public function dir_opendir($path, $options) {
        $url = parse_url($path);

        $path = $url["host"] . $url["path"];

        if (!is_readable($path)) {

        $header      = fread($this->fp, 512);
        $data = unpack("a100filename/a8mode/a8uid/a8gid/a12size/a12mtime/a8checksum/a1filetype/a100link/a100linkedfile", $header);

        // Trim the filename and filesize
        $filename    = trim($data["filename"]);

        // No filename? We are the end of the archive
        if (!$filename) {
            return false;
        }

        $octal_bytes = trim($data["size"]);
        // Filesize is defined in octets
        $bytes       = octdec($octal_bytes);

        // tar rounds up filesizes up to multiple of 512 bytes (zero filled)
        $rest        = $bytes % 512;
        if ($rest > 0) {
            $bytes      += 512 - $rest;
        }

        // Seek over the file
        fseek($this->fp, $bytes, SEEK_CUR);

        return $filename;
