MaxSLab PHP Local Filesystem Library

Installation

Run

php composer.phar require max-s-lab/php-local-filesystem

or add

"max-s-lab/php-local-filesystem": "^1.0"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Initializing

Base

You just need to set the root directory and start using.

use MaxSLab\Filesystem\Local\LocalFilesystem;

$filesystem = new LocalFilesystem('/var/www/some-directory');

Advantage

You can also set default permissions for nested directories and files.

$filesystem = new LocalFilesystem('/var/www/some-directory', [
    'defaultPermissions' => [
        'directory' => 0755,
        'file' => 0644,
    ],
]);

Writing to a file

Writing content to a file with the creation of a file and a directory for it.

$filesystem->writeToFile('file.txt', 'Test');

This method also allows you to set permissions for directories and file. If you do not specify them, the default settings will be used.

$filesystem->writeToFile('file.txt', 'Test', [
    'directoryPermissions' => 0777,
    'filePermissions' => 0666,
]);

You can also use this method to write a stream to a file. To do this, simply replace 'Test' with a stream.

Deleting a file

$filesystem->deleteFile('file.txt');

Copying a file

Copying a file with creating a directory for it.

$filesystem->copyFile('file.txt', 'directory/file.txt');

This method also allows you to set permissions for directories and file. If you do not specify them, the default settings will be used.

$filesystem->copyFile('file.txt', 'directory/file.txt', [
    'directoryPermissions' => 0777,
    'filePermissions' => 0666,
]);

Moving a file

Moving a file with creating a directory for it.

$filesystem->moveFile('file.txt', 'directory/file.txt');

This method also allows you to set permissions for directories and file. If you do not specify them, the default settings will be used.

$filesystem->moveFile('file.txt', 'directory/file.txt', [
    'directoryPermissions' => 0777,
    'filePermissions' => 0666,
]);

Basic reading file

This method will return the contents of the file as a string.

$result = $filesystem->readFile('file.txt');

Streaming file reading

This method will return the contents of the file as a stream.

$result = $filesystem->readFileAsStream('file.txt');

Getting file params

Size

This method returns the file size in bytes.

$result = $filesystem->getFileSize('file.txt');

MIME type

$result = $filesystem->getFileMimeType('file.txt');

Last modified time

$result = $filesystem->getFileLastModifiedTime('file.txt');

Creating directory

This method creates a directory recursively.

$filesystem->createDirectory('directory');

It also allows you to set permissions for the created directories.

$filesystem->createDirectory('directory', 0777);

Deleting directory

Recursively deleting a directory along with the contained files and directories.

$filesystem->deleteDirectory('directory');

Preparing full path

$result = $filesystem->prepareFullPath('file.txt');

$result = $filesystem->prepareFullPath('directory');

Listing pathnames

$result = filesystem->listPathnames('*');

For more information, see glob.

Set permissions

$filesystem->setPermissions('file.txt', 0644);

$filesystem->setPermissions('directory', 0755);

Get permissions

$result = $filesystem->getPermissions('file.txt');

$result = $filesystem->getPermissions('directory');

For more information about the returned values, see fileperms.

Check existing methods

$result = $filesystem->fileExists('file.txt');

$result = $filesystem->directoryExists('directory');
