php-symfonyHow to use the PHP Symfony filesystem?

The Symfony Filesystem component provides basic utilities for manipulating the file system. It provides methods for creating, reading, writing, and deleting files and directories.

Example code

use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem;

$fs = new Filesystem();

// Create a directory
$fs->mkdir('/path/to/directory');

// Copy a file
$fs->copy('/path/to/source/file.txt', '/path/to/destination/file.txt');

// Check if a file exists
if ($fs->exists('/path/to/file.txt')) {
    // Do something
}

The code above creates a directory, copies a file, and checks if a file exists.

Code explanation

• use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem;: This imports the Filesystem class from the Symfony Filesystem component.

• $fs = new Filesystem();: This creates a new instance of the Filesystem class.
