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 Finder component](https://github.com/symfony/Finder) [](#differences-from-symfonys-finder-component) The primary difference is naming conventions of the Symfony classes. Instead of the `\Symfony\Component\Finder` namespace (and sub-namespaces), prefix the Symfony class names with `ehough_finder` and follow the [PEAR naming convention](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php) A few examples of class naming conversions: ``` \Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder -----> ehough_finder_Finder \Symfony\Component\Finder\Expression\Expression -----> ehough_finder_expression_Expression \Symfony\Component\Finder\Shell\Command -----> ehough_finder_shell_Command ``` ### Usage [](#usage) Finder finds files and directories via an intuitive fluent interface. ``` $finder = new ehough_finder_Finder(); $iterator = $finder ->files() ->name('*.php') ->depth(0) ->size('>= 1K') ->in(__DIR__); foreach ($iterator as $file) { print $file->getRealpath()."\n"; } ``` But you can also use it to find files stored remotely like in this example where we are looking for files on Amazon S3: ``` $s3 = new Zend_Service_Amazon_S3($key, $secret); $s3->registerStreamWrapper("s3"); $finder = new ehough_finder_Finder(); $finder->name('photos*')->size('< 100K')->date('since 1 hour ago'); foreach ($finder->in('s3://bucket-name') as $file) { print $file->getFilename()."\n"; } ``` ### Releases and Versioning [](#releases-and-versioning) Releases are synchronized with the upstream Symfony repository. e.g. `ehough/finder v2.3.1` has merged the code from `Symfony/Finder v2.3.1`. ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
