◆ archive_to_pathname()

file_packer::archive_to_pathname ( array $files,
$archivefile,
$ignoreinvalidfiles = true,
file_progress $progress = null )
abstract

Archive files and store the result in os file.

The key of the $files array is always the path within the archive, e.g. 'folder/subfolder/file.txt'. There are several options for the values of the array:

  • null = this entry represents a directory, so no file
  • string = full path to file within operating system filesystem
  • stored_file = file within Moodle filesystem
  • array with one string element = use in-memory string for file content

For the string (OS path) and stored_file (Moodle filesystem) cases, you can specify a directory instead of a file to recursively include all files within this directory.

Parameters
array$filesarray with zip paths as keys (archivepath=>ospathname or archivepath=>stored_file)
string$archivefilepath to target zip file
bool$ignoreinvalidfilestrue means ignore missing or invalid files, false means abort on any error
file_progress$progressProgress indicator callback or null if not required
Return values
booltrue if file created, false if not

Reimplemented in mbz_packer, tgz_packer, and zip_packer.

◆ archive_to_storage()

file_packer::archive_to_storage ( array $files,
$contextid,
$component,
$filearea,
$itemid,
$filepath,
$filename,
$userid = NULL,
$ignoreinvalidfiles = true,
file_progress $progress = null )
