Informations about the package file-watcher

PHP Inotify File Watcher

Installing

this library requires PHP 7.1+ and pecl inotify extension inotify

Usage

Usage is simple, first configure the context:

Then obtain the watcher instance:

Now, all you need is the callback actions for each possible event, like this:

there are other events to be listened:

Finaly call the dispatch event method to listen to filesystem changes:

Note that, this operation will block untill an event occurs, and returns imediately as soon an filesystem event on the watched folder happens. This block can be avoided setting the context blocking property to false, that way, if no event ocurred between the watcher instancing and the call of this method an empty array will be returned

The readEvents method

You may notice that the FolderWatcher class has a readEvents method, this method can be called in case you may need to get the events without dispatching the events. this method returns an array of Vox\FileWatcher\FileWatcherEvent, this class has various methods to help identify what is this event about:

Note: not all the movedTo files has a origin path, only those that are moved between watched dirs, when a file comes from a directory wihch is not being watched it will have no moved from event, therefore no originPath
