svn_import - Imports an unversioned path into a repository

SYNOPSIS
bool svn_import (string $path, string $url, bool $nonrecursive) DESCRIPTION
Commits unversioned $path into repository at $url. If $path is a directory and $nonrecursive is FALSE, the directory will be imported recursively. PARAMETERS
o $path - Path of file or directory to import. 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(3) or dirname(__FILE__). o $url - Repository URL to import into. o $nonrecursive - Whether or not to refrain from recursively processing directories. 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. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Basic example This example demonstrates a basic use-case of this function. To import a directory named new-files into the repository at http://www.example.com/svnroot/incoming/abc, use: <?php svn_import(realpath('new-files'), 'http://www.example.com/svnroot/incoming/abc', false); ?> SEE ALSO
