Method Details

copyDirectory() method

public static void copyDirectory(string $src, string $dst, array $options=array ( ))
$src	string	the source directory
$dst	string	the destination directory
$options	array	options for directory copy. Valid options are: fileTypes: array, list of file name suffix (without dot). Only files with these suffixes will be copied. exclude: array, list of directory and file exclusions. Each exclusion can be either a name or a path. If a file or directory name or path matches the exclusion, it will not be copied. For example, an exclusion of '.svn' will exclude all files and directories whose name is '.svn'. And an exclusion of '/a/b' will exclude file or directory '$src/a/b'. Note, that '/' should be used as separator regardless of the value of the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant. level: integer, recursion depth, default=-1. Level -1 means copying all directories and files under the directory; Level 0 means copying only the files DIRECTLY under the directory; level N means copying those directories that are within N levels.

Copies a directory recursively as another. If the destination directory does not exist, it will be created.

copyDirectoryRecursive() method

protected static void copyDirectoryRecursive(string $src, string $dst, string $base, array $fileTypes, array $exclude, integer $level)
$src	string	the source directory
$dst	string	the destination directory
$base	string	the path relative to the original source directory
$fileTypes	array	list of file name suffix (without dot). Only files with these suffixes will be copied.
$exclude	array	list of directory and file exclusions. Each exclusion can be either a name or a path. If a file or directory name or path matches the exclusion, it will not be copied. For example, an exclusion of '.svn' will exclude all files and directories whose name is '.svn'. And an exclusion of '/a/b' will exclude file or directory '$src/a/b'. Note, that '/' should be used as separator regardless of the value of the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant.
$level	integer	recursion depth. It defaults to -1. Level -1 means copying all directories and files under the directory; Level 0 means copying only the files DIRECTLY under the directory; level N means copying those directories that are within N levels.

Copies a directory. This method is mainly used by copyDirectory.

findFiles() method

public static array findFiles(string $dir, array $options=array ( ))
$dir	string	the directory under which the files will be looked for
$options	array	options for file searching. Valid options are: fileTypes: array, list of file name suffix (without dot). Only files with these suffixes will be returned. exclude: array, list of directory and file exclusions. Each exclusion can be either a name or a path. If a file or directory name or path matches the exclusion, it will not be copied. For example, an exclusion of '.svn' will exclude all files and directories whose name is '.svn'. And an exclusion of '/a/b' will exclude file or directory '$src/a/b'. Note, that '/' should be used as separator regardless of the value of the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant. level: integer, recursion depth, default=-1. Level -1 means searching for all directories and files under the directory; Level 0 means searching for only the files DIRECTLY under the directory; level N means searching for those directories that are within N levels.
{return}	array	files found under the directory. The file list is sorted.

Returns the files found under the specified directory and subdirectories.

findFilesRecursive() method

protected static array findFilesRecursive(string $dir, string $base, array $fileTypes, array $exclude, integer $level)
$dir	string	the source directory
$base	string	the path relative to the original source directory
$fileTypes	array	list of file name suffix (without dot). Only files with these suffixes will be returned.
$exclude	array	list of directory and file exclusions. Each exclusion can be either a name or a path. If a file or directory name or path matches the exclusion, it will not be copied. For example, an exclusion of '.svn' will exclude all files and directories whose name is '.svn'. And an exclusion of '/a/b' will exclude file or directory '$src/a/b'. Note, that '/' should be used as separator regardless of the value of the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant.
$level	integer	recursion depth. It defaults to -1. Level -1 means searching for all directories and files under the directory; Level 0 means searching for only the files DIRECTLY under the directory; level N means searching for those directories that are within N levels.
{return}	array	files found under the directory.

Returns the files found under the specified directory and subdirectories. This method is mainly used by findFiles.

getExtension() method (available since v1.1.2)

public static string getExtension(string $path)
$path	string	the file path
{return}	string	the extension name without the dot character.

Returns the extension name of a file path. For example, the path "path/to/something.php" would return "php".

getMimeType() method

public static string getMimeType(string $file, string $magicFile=NULL)
$file	string	the file name.
$magicFile	string	name of a magic database file, usually something like /path/to/magic.mime. This will be passed as the second parameter to finfo_open. This parameter has been available since version 1.1.3.
{return}	string	the MIME type. Null is returned if the MIME type cannot be determined.

Determines the MIME type of the specified file. This method will attempt the following approaches in order:

finfo
mime_content_type
getMimeTypeByExtension

getMimeTypeByExtension() method

public static string getMimeTypeByExtension(string $file, string $magicFile=NULL)
$file	string	the file name.
$magicFile	string	the path of the file that contains all available MIME type information. If this is not set, the default 'system.utils.mimeTypes' file will be used. This parameter has been available since version 1.1.3.
{return}	string	the MIME type. Null is returned if the MIME type cannot be determined.

Determines the MIME type based on the extension name of the specified file. This method will use a local map between extension name and MIME type.

validatePath() method

protected static boolean validatePath(string $base, string $file, boolean $isFile, array $fileTypes, array $exclude)
$base	string	the path relative to the original source directory
$file	string	the file or directory name
$isFile	boolean	whether this is a file
$fileTypes	array	list of file name suffix (without dot). Only files with these suffixes will be copied.
$exclude	array	list of directory and file exclusions. Each exclusion can be either a name or a path. If a file or directory name or path matches the exclusion, it will not be copied. For example, an exclusion of '.svn' will exclude all files and directories whose name is '.svn'. And an exclusion of '/a/b' will exclude file or directory '$src/a/b'. Note, that '/' should be used as separator regardless of the value of the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant.
{return}	boolean	whether the file or directory is valid

Validates a file or directory.
