$a->addFromString('path/to/file.txt', 'my simple file');
$b = $a['path/to/file.txt']->getContent();
// to add contents from a stream handle for large files, use offsetSet()

Notes
Note: Phar::addFile(), Phar::addFromString() and Phar::offsetSet() save a new phar archive each time they are called. If performance is a concern, Phar::buildFromDirectory() or Phar::buildFromIterator() should be used instead.
