svn_log

(PECL svn >= 0.1.0)

svn_log — Returns the commit log messages of a repository URL

Description

svn_log(
    string $repos_url,
    int $start_revision = ?,
    int $end_revision = ?,
    int $limit = 0,
    int $flags = SVN_DISCOVER_CHANGED_PATHS | SVN_STOP_ON_COPY
): array

svn_log() returns the complete history of the item at the repository URL repos_url, or the history of a specific revision if start_revision is set. This function is equivalent to svn log --verbose -r $start_revision $repos_url.

Parameters

repos_url
Repository URL of the item to retrieve log history from.
start_revision
Revision number of the first log to retrieve. Use SVN_REVISION_HEAD to retrieve the log from the most recent revision.
end_revision
Revision number of the last log to retrieve. Defaults to start_revision if specified or to SVN_REVISION_INITIAL otherwise.
limit
Number of logs to retrieve.
flags
Any combination of SVN_OMIT_MESSAGES, SVN_DISCOVER_CHANGED_PATHS and SVN_STOP_ON_COPY.

Return Values

On success, this function returns an array file listing in the format of: 

[0] => Array, ordered most recent (highest) revision first
(
    [rev] => integer revision number
    [author] => string author name
    [msg] => string log message
    [date] => string date formatted per ISO 8601, i.e. date('c')
    [paths] => Array, describing changed files
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [action] => string letter signifying change
                    [path] =>  absolute repository path of changed file
                )
            [1] => ...
        )
)
[1] => ...

Note: The output will always be a numerically indexed array of arrays, even when there are none or only one log message(s).

The value of action is a subset of the » status output in the first column, where possible values are:

Actions
Letter Description
M Item/props was modified
A Item was added
D Item was deleted
R Item was replaced

If no changes were made to the item, an empty array is returned.

Examples

Example #1 svn_log() example

<?php
print_r( svn_log('http://www.example.com/', 23) );
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
    (
        [rev] => 23
        [author] => 'joe'
        [msg] => 'Add cheese and salami to our sandwich.'
        [date] => '2007-04-06T16:00:27-04:00'
        [paths] => Array
            (
                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [action] => 'M'
                        [path] =>  '/sandwich.txt'
                    )
            )
    )
)
