svn_ls

(PECL svn >= 0.1.0)

svn_ls — Returns list of directory contents in repository URL, optionally at revision number

Description

svn_ls(
    string $repos_url,
    int $revision_no = SVN_REVISION_HEAD,
    bool $recurse = false,
    bool $peg = false
): array

This function queries the repository URL and returns a list of files and directories, optionally from a specific revision. This is equivalent to svn list $repos_url[@$revision_no]

Note:
This function does not work with working copies. repos_url must be a repository URL.

Parameters

url: URL of the repository, eg. http://www.example.com/svnroot. To access a local Subversion repository via filesystem, use the file URI scheme, eg. file:///home/user/svn-repos
revision: Integer revision number to retrieve listing of. When omitted, the HEAD revision is used.
recurse: Enables recursion.

Return Values

On success, this function returns an array file listing in the format of:

[0] => Array
    (
        [created_rev] => integer revision number of last edit
        [last_author] => string author name of last edit
        [size] => integer byte file size of file
        [time] => string date of last edit in form 'M d H:i'
                  or 'M d Y', depending on how old the file is
        [time_t] => integer unix timestamp of last edit
        [name] => name of file/directory
        [type] => type, can be 'file' or 'dir'
    )
[1] => ...

Examples

Example #1 svn_ls() example

<?php
print_r( svn_ls('http://www.example.com/svnroot/') );
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [created_rev] => 20
            [last_author] => Joe
            [size] => 0
            [time] => Apr 02 09:28
            [time_t] => 1175520529
            [name] => tags
            [type] => dir
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [created_rev] => 23
            [last_author] => Bob
            [size] => 0
            [time] => Apr 02 15:15
            [time_t] => 1175541322
            [name] => trunk
            [type] => dir
        )
)

Be aware that the function will condition the path for you; do not do it yourself or you will have resulting errors.

Ex: that paths with spaces in them do NOT need the escaping slash
<?php
svn_ls('file:///var/svn/myrepo/dirA/another dir'); //will work->happiness
svn_ls('file:///var/svn/myrepo/dirA/another\ dir'); //will fail
?>
Warning: svn_ls(): svn error(s) occured 160013 (Filesystem has no item) URL 'file:///var/svn/myrepo/dirA/another\ dir' non-existent in that revision in file.php on line 42
