FileArchiver

Archivage
---------

[](#archivage)

Let's suppose we have a file named `demo.txt` which we want to archive for 14 days

```
$fileArchiver = new FileArchiver();

...

$filePath = './demo.txt';
$archivedFile = $fileArchiver->archive($filePath, new DateInterval('P14D'));

```

And that's it. Your file is archived in the default storage directory `__DIR__` but you can specify another location is you want

```
$fileArchiver = new FileArchiver('/my/storage/directory');

```

> If you are using Symfony, the default storage location is `%kernel.project_dir%/var/archive/`

Suppression and rotation
------------------------

[](#suppression-and-rotation)

The archive rotation is proceeded each time you archive a file with the same mask.

For exemple let's imagine we archived our file `demo.txt` 2 hours ago for a duration of 1 jour. When we will archive our new file, the previous archived will be deleted because he overlaps his archive duration.

You can anyway clear the archived files the way you want by calling the clear method

```
// This will clear all files having an expired archive duration
$fileArchiver->clear();

// This will clear all files archived before the passed date
// In the exemple below it will clear all archived files
$fileArchiver->clear(new DateTime());

```

Recovery
--------

[](#recovery)

You can recover archived files as below and obtain the list of archived files with the given mask

```
$archivedFilesPath = $fileArchiver->find('demo');

```
