Just a very quick post for new comers to Ubuntu who is looking for a way to install rar extension. RAR extension (should be php5-rar) is not available on Ubuntu official, apt-get install php5-rar won't work, not sure why. If you want to install it then you can use PECL from PEAR instead, as following:
$ sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear g++
$ sudo pecl install rar
