Properties

$deleted

If set to true, this file is regarded as being deleted.

protected bool $deleted = false

$identifier

The identifier of this file to identify it on the storage.

protected string $identifier

On some drivers, this is the path to the file, but drivers could also just provide any other unique identifier for this file on the specific storage.

$name

The file name of this file

protected string $name

$properties

Various file properties

protected array<non-empty-string, mixed> $properties = []

Note that all properties, which only the persisted (indexed) files have are stored in this overall properties array only. The only properties which really exist as object properties of the file object are the storage, the identifier, the fileName and the indexing status.

Methods

copyTo()

Copies this file into a target folder

public copyTo(Folder $targetFolder[, string $targetFileName = null ][, DuplicationBehavior $conflictMode = DuplicationBehavior::RENAME ]) : File
Parameters
$targetFolder : Folder

Folder to copy file into.

$targetFileName : string = null

an optional destination fileName

$conflictMode : DuplicationBehavior = DuplicationBehavior::RENAME

getCombinedIdentifier()

Returns a combined identifier of this file, i.e. the storage UID and the folder identifier separated by a colon ":".

getForLocalProcessing()

Returns a path to a local version of this file to process it locally (e.g. with some system tool).

public getForLocalProcessing([bool $writable = true ]) : non-empty-string

If the file is normally located on a remote storages, this creates a local copy. If the file is already on the local system, this only makes a new copy if $writable is set to TRUE.

Parameters
$writable : bool = true

Set this to FALSE if you only want to do read operations on the file.
