svn_delete

(PECL svn >= 0.4.0)

svn_delete — Delete items from a working copy or repository

Description

function svn_delete(string $path, bool $force = false): bool

Deletes the file, directory or symbolic link at path from the working directory. The item will be deleted from the repository the next time you call svn_commit() on the working copy.

Parameters

path

Path of item to delete.

Note:

Relative paths will be resolved as if the current working directory was the one that contains the PHP binary. To use the calling script's working directory, use realpath() or dirname(__FILE__).

force

If true, the file will be deleted even if it has local modifications. Otherwise, local modifications will result in a failure. Default is false

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Notes

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.
