svn_status

(PECL svn >= 0.1.0)

svn_statusReturns the status of working copy files and directories

Description

svn_status(string $path, int $flags = 0): array

Returns the status of working copy files and directories, giving modifications, additions, deletions and other changes to items in the working copy.

Parameters

path

Local path to file or directory to retrieve status of.

Note: Relative paths will be resolved as if the current working directory was the one that contains the PHP binary. To use the calling script's working directory, use realpath() or dirname(__FILE__).

flags

Any combination of Svn::NON_RECURSIVE, Svn::ALL (regardless of modification status), Svn::SHOW_UPDATES (entries will be added for items that are out-of-date), Svn::NO_IGNORE (disregard svn:ignore properties when scanning for new files) and Svn::IGNORE_EXTERNALS.

Return Values

Returns a numerically indexed array of associative arrays detailing the status of items in the repository:

Array (
    [0] => Array (
        // information on item
    )
    [1] => ...
)

The information on the item is an associative array that can contain the following keys:

path
String path to file/directory of this entry on local filesystem.
text_status
Status of item's text. Refer to status constants for possible values.
repos_text_status
Status of item's text in repository. Only accurate if update was set to true. Refer to status constants for possible values.
prop_status
Status of item's properties. Refer to status constants for possible values.
repos_prop_status
Status of item's property in repository. Only accurate if update was set to true. Refer to status constants for possible values.
locked
Whether or not the item is locked. (Only set if true.)
copied
Whether or not the item was copied (scheduled for addition with history). (Only set if true.)
switched
Whether or not the item was switched using the switch command. (Only set if true)

These keys are only set if the item is versioned:

name
Base name of item in repository.
url
URL of item in repository.
repos
Base URL of repository.
revision
Integer revision of item in working copy.
kind
Type of item, i.e. file or directory. Refer to type constants for possible values.
schedule
Scheduled action for item, i.e. addition or deletion. Constants for these magic numbers are not available, they can be emulated by using:
<?php
if (!defined('svn_wc_schedule_normal')) {
define('svn_wc_schedule_normal', 0); // nothing special
define('svn_wc_schedule_add', 1); // item will be added
define('svn_wc_schedule_delete', 2); // item will be deleted
define('svn_wc_schedule_replace', 3); // item will be added and deleted
}
?>
deleted
Whether or not the item was deleted, but parent revision lags behind. (Only set if true.)
absent
Whether or not the item is absent, that is, Subversion knows that there should be something there but there isn't. (Only set if true.)
incomplete
Whether or not the entries file for a directory is incomplete. (Only set if true.)
cmt_date
Integer Unix timestamp of last commit date. (Unaffected by update.)
cmt_rev
Integer revision of last commit. (Unaffected by update.)
cmt_author
String author of last commit. (Unaffected by update.)
prop_time
Integer Unix timestamp of last up-to-date time for properties
text_time
Integer Unix timestamp of last up-to-date time for text

Examples

Example #1 Basic example

This example demonstrates a basic, theoretical usage of this function.

<?php
print_r
(svn_status(realpath('wc')));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array (
    [0] => Array (
        [path] => /home/bob/wc/sandwich.txt
        [text_status] => 8 // item was modified
        [repos_text_status] => 1 // no information available, use update
        [prop_status] => 3 // no changes
        [repos_prop_status] => 1 // no information available, use update
        [name] => sandwich.txt
        [url] => http://www.example.com/svnroot/deli/trunk/sandwich.txt
        [repos] => http://www.example.com/svnroot/
        [revision] => 123
        [kind] => 1 // file
        [schedule] => 0 // no special actions scheduled
        [cmt_date] => 1165543135
        [cmt_rev] => 120
        [cmt_author] => Alice
        [prop_time] => 1180201728
        [text_time] => 1180201729
    )
)

There seems to be an undocumented function svn_info (arguably the proper name for this functionality) that does almost the same as svn_status, but ignores the second parameter.

Unfortunately, neither can directly be used to just retrieve the current revision of a working copy, but a combination of svn_status and SVN_NON_RECURSIVE|SVN_ALL will work; simply perform the following command:

<?php
svn_status
(ROOT, SVN_NON_RECURSIVE|SVN_ALL);
?>

Where ROOT is of course the root of the working directory you wish to examine. One of the entries will be that working directory, including its current status.
