Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

file_info::__construct	(		$browser,
			$context )

Constructor.

Parameters

file_browser	$browser	file_browser instance
stdClass	$context

Reimplemented in file_info_context_system.

Member Function Documentation

◆ build_search_files_sql()

file_info::build_search_files_sql	(		$extensions,
			$prefix = null )

protected

Builds SQL sub query (WHERE clause) for selecting files with the specified extensions.

If $extensions == '*' (any file), the result is array('', array()) otherwise the result is something like array('AND filename ...', array(...))

Parameters

string \| array	$extensions	- either '*' or array of lowercase extensions, i.e. array('.gif','.jpg')
string	$prefix	prefix for DB table files in the query (empty by default)

Return values

array of two elements: $sql - sql where clause and $params - array of parameters

◆ copy_to_pathname()

file_info::copy_to_pathname ( $pathname )

Copy content of this file to local storage, overriding current file if needed.

Todo: MDL-31068 implement move() rename() unzip() zip()

Parameters

string $pathname real local full file name

Return values

boolean success

Reimplemented in file_info_stored.

◆ copy_to_storage()

file_info::copy_to_storage ( $filerecord )

Copy content of this file to local storage, overriding current file if needed.

Parameters

array | stdClass $filerecord contains contextid, component, filearea, itemid, filepath, filename and optionally other attributes of the new file

Return values

bool success

Reimplemented in file_info_stored.

◆ count_non_empty_children()

file_info::count_non_empty_children	(		$extensions = '*',
			$limit = 1 )

Returns the number of children which are either files matching the specified extensions or folders containing at least one such file.

We usually don't need the exact number of non empty children if it is >=2 (see param $limit) This function is used by repository_local to evaluate if the folder is empty. But it also can be used to check if folder has only one subfolder because in some cases this subfolder can be skipped.

It is strongly recommended to overwrite this function so it uses a proper SQL query and does not create file_info objects (later might require a lot of time and memory usage on big sites).

Parameters

string \| array	$extensions,for	example '*' or array('.gif','.jpg')
int	$limit	stop counting after at least $limit non-empty children are found

Return values

int

Reimplemented in book_file_info, data_file_info_container, file_info_area_backup_section, file_info_area_course_section, file_info_context_course, file_info_context_coursecat, file_info_context_module, file_info_stored, forum_file_info_container, glossary_file_info_container, imscp_file_info, mod_lesson_file_info, workshop_file_info_overallfeedback_container, and workshop_file_info_submissions_container.

file_info::create_directory	(		$newdirname,
			$userid = NULL )

Create new directory, may throw exception - make sure params are valid.

Parameters

string	$newdirname	name of new directory
