Hallo,
I have a PHP application made of many files ( php, images etc. )
I have a strong suspicion that many of the files in the application
directory are no more in use, because of changes made on the application.
Is there a tool that, starting from the entry point of the application,
scans the files recursively for included/used files and lists them ?
With this list I could delete the remaining files.
Thanks
Andreas

You could write a python or even php script to do that, storing all the
files an array/list and then finding files (regex) which are not
included in any of the php files.
Of course, this applies if and only if you haven't used __autoload() magic.

Or you could just grep the directory, not saying you have to do this, but
this was kind of fun to write anyways, if i spent more time on it, i could
perfect it, but i dont have that kind of time, so this will still give you a
few doubles, but it shouldn't give you false-positives as long as you have
all the extensions in that grep regex (and you cant make it more generic
without introducing false-positives)...
grep -oiPR "[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.(php|js|png|
jpg|css|htm|html)" directory | awk 'function getfiles(input, files, i, n,
file) {result = ""; n=split(input, files, ":"); for(i=0; i<=n; i++) {
if(files[i] !~ /^\s*$/) print files[i];}} {getfiles($0)}' | sort -biu
This should give you all the files that reference files and the files they
reference.

It is possible to use the shell tools, but it is a big trouble to handle
spaces and special characters in shell scripting if your filenames have
them, quite rare with self created applications, but you can't say, and
hence I suggested python/php script method.

It would still be quicker with shell tools, imho, granted that some command
line elitistry would be required... Also if you are going to be doing string
parsing and manipulation, and string parsing here is all that you are doing,
there would be no better language than perl to do it with, granted i dont
like perl and prefer python or php or ruby to it, but when you have a lot of
string manipulation, perl has no rival i have used yet, though i guess if
awk were combined with sed, there would be some potential...

The only problem you may run into is an include that's part of a logic
branch in your code that never gets called under any circumstance (maybe
the logic changed and you no longer require a certain set of functions
for example)
It's also possible that your bigger problem isn't rogue files that
aren't being used but files with lots of unused functions, unused class
methods, etc. Sometimes the only way to find those is by tracing back
all the way from each function/method in turn.

I use a combination of Zend Framework (Soap and Config), PEAR (for
Console_CommandLine) and my own code developed along the lines of Zend
Framework.
I think the "What framework is best" question can be partially
answered by asking which framework allow you the greatest degree of
flexibility.
I don't have to use any part of Zend that I don't want. Same with PEAR.
Having said that, none of these frameworks will write your app for
you. Others may, based upon various rules or file structures.

I actually use my own framework. I needed a very light weight, flexible
framework. I designed it from the ground up to be very flexible and to use
AJAX and jQuery on the client side. If you'd be interested in check it out,
just let me know and I'll give you a link to the source code.
Take care,

Good article! I knew there was a reason why I never released mine but just

Hello,
I'm trying to enforce ssl version 3 for PHP Soap client.
Is it possible somehow ?

Hi !
I'm developing my new website and I'm worried about concurrent file access.
In fact, I want to suppress a maximum database interactions so I keep
information in files with faster I/O than databases.
But I'm worried by the fact that an error can occur when someone try to
access a file being edited by a cron task.
Does PHP do all the stuff itself or is there something to do about it ?
PS: I only use file_get_contents, file_put_contentsand unlink on files.
Best regards.

With file_put_contents you send a flag to lock the file and avoid
concurrency problems, eg:
file_put_contents('/some/file', 'data', FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

I did a fresh install of PHP on a new server. I had gotten used to PHP
automatically adding a backslash before single quotes when form data is
submitted. It seems that is shut off in my new install. How do I turn it back
on?

That's magic quotes, and it's been deprecated for quite some time,
and slated for complete removal. While you shouldn't rely on it, if
you absolutely need to, just re-enable it in php.ini, .htaccess, or in
your code.

Check the manual for 'Magic Quotes GPC':
http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php
However, you may want to rething enabling this as it's deprecated and
judging by the discussions I've seen it will be removed in the not too
distant future.

Unless you are using a self-built V5.4.0 from today onwards.
Magic Quotes was finally removed completely and will give you an
E_CORE_ERROR if you attempt to enable it.

I had forgotten what it was called. While I don't like having to rely on it,
I'm dealing with some really old code that does rely on it. Some day I'll get
around to rewriting that old stuff! Thanks for reminding me what it was called!
