The package provides useful methods to manage files and directories.
- PHP 8.0 or higher.
The package could be installed with composer:
composer require yiisoft/files --prefer-dist
FileHelper provides static methods you can use for various filesystem-related operations.
Ensure a directory exists:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
FileHelper::ensureDirectory($directory);
Ensure a directory exists, and permission specified is set:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
FileHelper::ensureDirectory($directory, 0775);
Remove a directory:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
FileHelper::removeDirectory($directory);
Remove everything within a directory but not directory itself:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
FileHelper::clearDirectory($directory, [
'traverseSymlinks' => false,
'filter' => (new PathMatcher())
->only('**.png', '**.jpg')
->except('**/logo.png'),
]);
Check if directory is empty:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
FileHelper::isEmptyDirectory($directory);
Copy directory:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$source = '/path/to/source';
$destination = '/path/to/destination';
FileHelper::copyDirectory($source, $destination);
Additional options could be specified as third argument such as filter
or copyEmptyDirectories
.
Check method phpdoc for a full list of options.
Copy file:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$source = '/path/to/file';
$destination = '/path/to/destination';
FileHelper::copyFile($source, $destination);
Additional options could be specified as third argument such as beforeCopy
or afterCopy
.
Check method phpdoc for a full list of options.
Searching for files:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
use Yiisoft\Files\PathMatcher\PathMatcher;
$files = FileHelper::findFiles('/path/to/where/to/search', [
'filter' => (new PathMatcher())
->only('**.png', '**.jpg')
->except('**/logo.png'),
]);
Searching for directories:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
use Yiisoft\Files\PathMatcher\PathMatcher;
$directories = FileHelper::findDirectories('/path/to/where/to/search', [
'filter' => (new PathMatcher())->except('**meta'),
]);
Open a file. Same as PHP's fopen()
but throwing exceptions.
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$handler = FileHelper::openFile('/path/to/file', 'rb');
Get last modified time for a directory or file:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$directory = '/path/to/dir';
$time = FileHelper::lastModifiedTime($directory);
The method is different from PHP's filemtime()
because it actually scans a directory and selects the largest
modification time from all files.
Remove a file or symlink:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$file = '/path/to/file.txt';
FileHelper::unlink($file);
Normalize a path:
use \Yiisoft\Files\FileHelper;
$path = '/home/samdark/./test/..///dev\yii/';
echo FileHelper::normalizePath($path);
// outputs:
// /home/samdark/dev/yii
