Backup script with selective file types only
i am looking for a backup script to be run in ssh which can move all *.php files only to a archive
Eg. a folder has 5 sub folders with different file types, which can be mix of PDF, jpeg, gif etc etc.
but the archive generated should only include the *.php files without breaking the directory structure.
So once I upload the archive again after modification and extract, only php files of the folders within get replaced without breaking the path from which they were archived from.
I tried to grab all php files using FTP by setting up the filter but doesn't seem to work correctly.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
phar.extractto
PHAR.EXTRACTTO(3) 1 PHAR.EXTRACTTO(3)
Phar::extractTo - Extract the contents of a phar archive to a directory
SYNOPSIS
public bool Phar::extractTo (string $pathto, [string|array $files], [bool $overwrite = false])
DESCRIPTION
Note
This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException
will be thrown.
Extract all files within a phar archive to disk. Extracted files and directories preserve permissions as stored in the archive. The
optional parameters allow optional control over which files are extracted, and whether existing files on disk can be overwritten. The sec-
ond parameter files can be either the name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of names of files and directories to extract. By
default, this method will not overwrite existing files, the third parameter can be set to true to enable overwriting of files. This method
is similar to ZipArchive.extractTo(3).
PARAMETERS
o $pathto
- Path within an archive to the file to delete.
o $files
- The name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of files/directories to extract
o $overwrite
- Set to TRUE to enable overwriting existing files
RETURN VALUES
returns TRUE on success, but it is better to check for thrown exception, and assume success if none is thrown.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Throws PharException if errors occur while flushing changes to disk.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A Phar.extractTo(3) example
<?php
try {
$phar = new Phar('myphar.phar');
$phar->extractTo('/full/path'); // extract all files
$phar->extractTo('/another/path', 'file.txt'); // extract only file.txt
$phar->extractTo('/this/path',
array('file1.txt', 'file2.txt')); // extract 2 files only
$phar->extractTo('/third/path', null, true); // extract all files, and overwrite
} catch (Exception $e) {
// handle errors
}
?>
