The FileSystem Library is a PHP package that provides a comprehensive representation of files and directories. It includes functionality for reading, scanning, copying, renaming, and removing files and directories, with support for recursive operations and filtering based on extensions, directories, and file names.
- File and Directory Representation: Classes to represent files and directories.
- Recursive Operations: Support for recursive scanning, copying, and removing of directories.
- Filtering: Ability to ignore specific file extensions, directories, and files during operations.
- Unit Tests: Comprehensive unit tests to ensure the functionality of the library.
Install the package via Composer:
composer require methorz/filesystemReading a File or Directory
use MethorZ\FileSystem\FileSystem;
use MethorZ\FileSystem\Directory;
use MethorZ\FileSystem\File;
$path = '/path/to/your/file/or/directory';
$recursiveScan = true;
$extensions = ['txt', 'php'];
$fsObject = FileSystem::read($path, $recursiveScan, $extensions);
if ($fsObject instanceof Directory) {
echo "It's a directory!";
} elseif ($fsObject instanceof File) {
echo "It's a file!";
