svn_log

Returns the commit log messages of a repository URL (PECL svn:0.1-0.2)
array svn_log ( string repos_url [, int revision_no] )

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

Warning:

For repositories with large histories, the output may be quite large (one array item for every revision of the item). This function does not support the --limit NUM flag, nor does it support revision ranges (revision_no must be an integer).

Parameters

repos_url

Repository URL of the item to retrieve log history from.

revision_no

Revision number of the log to retrieve. Use SVN_REVISON_HEAD to retrieve the log for the most recent revision.

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:

Table 316. Actions

LetterDescription
MItem/props was modified
AItem was added
DItem was deleted
RItem was replaced


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

Notes

Warning:

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

Examples

Example 2498. 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'
                   )
           )
   )
)


Example 2499. Simulating --limit with svn and svn_log()

This sample function simulates the --limit switch by using the SVN executable to return a list of revisions, which are then losslessly accessed using svn_log().

Note:

This function will perform a total of limit + 1 requests: the first request to pull the required revisions, and each one after to retrieve the log item for that request.

<?php
/**
* Retrieves the last $limit log entries.
* @param $repos_url Repository URL of item to get logs for
* @param $limit Integer limit of items
*/
function svn_log_limit($repos_url, $limit) {
   
$limit = (int) $limit;
   if (
$limit <= 0) return array();
   
// -q flag used to prevent server from sending log messages
   
$output = shell_exec("svn log -q --limit $limit $repos_url");
   
preg_match_all('/^r(\d+) /m', $output, $matches);
   
$ret = array();
   foreach (
$matches[1] as $rev) {
       
$log = svn_log($repos_url, (int) $rev);
       
$ret[] = $log[0]; // log is only one item long
   
}
   return
$ret;
}
?>
