PHPLogPacker
============

[](#phplogpacker)

A lightweight PHP utility to automatically compress and archive files when they reach a defined size threshold.

✨ Features
----------

[](#-features)

- ✅ Compresses files >50MB (default) using 7Zip or fallback to Zip
- ✅ Recursive directory scanning (includes subfolders)
- ✅ Configurable retention policy and compression settings
- ✅ Zero dependencies – pure PHP CLI tool

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### Basic Command

[](#basic-command)

```
php logpacker.php /target/directory/
```

### How It Works

[](#how-it-works)

- Scans `/target/directory/` and all subfolders
- Compresses files exceeding `max_file_size_MB` (default: 50MB)
- Maintains `num_files_archived` versions (default: 5)
- Oldest archives are automatically deleted

⚙️ Configuration (optional)
---------------------------

[](#️-configuration-optional)

To customize, create a `logpacker.ini` file in the script's root directory:

```
; logpacker.ini
num_files_archived = 5   ; Number of archived versions to keep
max_file_size_MB   = 50  ; Minimum file size to trigger compression (in MB)
days_last_change   = 0   ; [TODO] Archive files modified X days ago
days_from_creation = 0   ; [TODO] Archive files created X days ago
archive_extension  = 7z  ; Compression format (7z or zip)
```

🔄 Archive Rotation Example
--------------------------

[](#-archive-rotation-example)

### Original structure:

[](#original-structure)

```
error.log (60MB)

```

### After first run:

[](#after-first-run)

```
error.log.1.7z (compressed)

```

### After subsequent runs:

[](#after-subsequent-runs)

```
error.log.1.7z → error.log.2.7z
error.log.2.7z → error.log.3.7z
...
error.log.5.7z → deleted (oldest archive)

```

📦 Compression Methods
---------------------

[](#-compression-methods)

- **7Zip** (default, if installed on system)
- **Zip** (fallback if 7Zip unavailable)

📜 License
---------

[](#-license)

Open-source under the **MIT License**.
