The Symfony Filesystem component is a PHP library providing platform-independent utilities for filesystem operations such as creating, copying, removing, and mirroring files and directories. It also includes a Path class for manipulating and canonicalizing file and directory paths.
Use cases
- create directories recursively with custom permissions in php
- copy files and directories with exception handling
- mirror a directory tree to another location
- normalize and canonicalize file paths cross-platform
- make a path relative to a base directory
- atomically dump contents to a file
- create symlinks and read their targets
When to choose
- you need reliable, exception-based filesystem operations in PHP
- you want cross-platform path manipulation utilities
- you are building a Symfony application or use other Symfony components
When to avoid
- you only need trivial file operations covered by PHP's built-in functions
- you work outside the PHP ecosystem
