svn_checkout — Checks out a working copy from the repository
Checks out a working copy from the repository at repos to targetpath at revision revision .
String URL path to directory in repository to check out.
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__).
Integer revision number of repository to check out. Default is HEAD, the most recent revision.
Any combination of SVN_NON_RECURSIVE and SVN_IGNORE_EXTERNALS.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.
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.
