**This library is no longer supported or maintained as PHP 5.2 usage levels have finally dropped below 10%**

Fork of [Symfony's Filesystem component](https://github.com/symfony/Filesystem) compatible with PHP 5.2+.

### Motivation

[](#motivation)

[Symfony's Filesystem component](https://github.com/symfony/Filesystem) is a fantastic filesystem library, but it's only compatible with PHP 5.3+. While 99% of PHP servers run PHP 5.2 or higher, 13% of all servers are still running PHP 5.2 or lower ([source](http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/5/all)).

### Differences from [Symfony's Filesystem component](https://github.com/symfony/EventDispatcher)

[](#differences-from-symfonys-filesystem-component)

The primary difference is naming conventions of the Symfony classes. Instead of the `\Symfony\Component\Filesystem` namespace (and sub-namespaces), prefix the Symfony class names with `ehough_filesystem` and follow the [PEAR naming convention](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php)

An examples of class naming conversion:

```
\Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem   ----->    ehough_filesystem_Filesystem

```

### Usage
