FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package sync

Sync directory contents over HTTP using PHP

Use these classes to recursively sync the contents of two folders on different servers. The source must have a web server although the directory being synced does not have to be web accessible. The client initiates the connection and can be either another web server or a command line script.

Install

If using Composer, add "outlandish/sync":"1.*@dev" to your requirements.

Otherwise, just download and require the classes as normal.

How it works

  1. Client collects list of existing files in destination folder (and subfolders), with size and modified dates
  2. Client POSTs list to the server
  3. Server gets list of files in source folder on server and compares this with list of files from client
  4. Server returns list of new or modified files present on server
  5. Client requests contents of each new or modified file and saves it to destination folder
  6. Client sets last modified time of file to match server

No attempt is made to send diffs; this is not rsync. Symlinks are not explicitly supported. All communication is via JSON data in the request/response body.

Example

On the server, e.g. example.com/remote.php:

On the client(s):

FAQ

Why not just use rsync?

Sometimes you need code to be portable across a range of hosting environments so you can't rely on rsync, scp or other external dependencies.
