svn_checkout — Checks out a working copy from the repository

Description

svn_checkout(
    string $repos,
    string $targetpath,
    int $revision = ?,
    int $flags = 0
): bool

Checks out a working copy from the repository at repos to targetpath at revision revision.

Parameters

repos
String URL path to directory in repository to check out.
targetpath
String local path to directory to check out in to

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__).

revision
Integer revision number of repository to check out. Default is HEAD, the most recent revision.
flags
Any combination of SVN_NON_RECURSIVE and SVN_IGNORE_EXTERNALS.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Examples

Example #1 Basic example

This example demonstrates how to check out a directory from a repository to a directory named calc:

<?php
svn_checkout('http://www.example.com/svnroot/calc/trunk', dirname(__FILE__) . '/calc');
?>

The dirname(__FILE__) call is necessary in order to convert the calc relative path into an absolute one. If calc exists, you can also use realpath() to retrieve an absolute path.
