How can I exclude folders with this backup script? - php

Question

I'm using this great script to backup my folders on my server, However there is a couple of folders that I want to exclude from the backup. How would I go about excluding them?
Thanks

put in $no_zip the path that you want exclude. and see the line if(!in_array($file, $no_zip) {

// Make sure the script can handle large folders/files
ini_set('max_execution_time', 600);
ini_set('memory_limit','1024M');
// Start the backup!
zipData('/var/www/html/uploaded', '/var/www/html/uploaded.zip');
echo 'Finished.';
$no_zip = array('path_1', 'path_2');
// Here the magic happens :) Edit: Very Funny ;-)
function zipData($source, $destination) {
if (extension_loaded('zip')) {
if (file_exists($source)) {
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
$source = realpath($source);
if (is_dir($source)) {
$iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source);
// skip dot files while iterating
$iterator->setFlags(RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($files as $file) {
//check
if(!in_array($file, $no_zip)) {
$file = realpath($file);
if (is_dir($file)) {
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
} else if (is_file($file)) {
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
}
} else if (is_file($source)) {
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
}
return $zip->close();
}
}
return false;
}

I tried this way
<?php
/*
* PHP: Recursively Backup Files & Folders to ZIP-File
* (c) 2012-2014: Marvin Menzerath - http://menzerath.eu
* contribution: Drew Toddsby
*/
// Make sure the script can handle large folders/files
ini_set('max_execution_time', 600);
ini_set('memory_limit','1024M');
// Start the backup!
zipData('/var/www/html/uploaded', '/var/www/html/uploaded.zip'); //add a third array parameter with names/relative paths of what you want to exclude
echo 'Finished.';
// Here the magic happens :)
function zipData($source, $destination, $nozip = array()) {
if (is_array($nozip) && extension_loaded('zip')) {
if (file_exists($source)) {
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
$source = realpath($source);
if (is_dir($source)) {
$iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source);
// skip dot files while iterating
$iterator->setFlags(RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$file = realpath($file);
if(!match($file, $nozip)) //Check if it has to zip the file/folder
{
if (is_dir($file)) {
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
} else if (is_file($file)) {
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
}
} else if (is_file($source)) {
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
}
return $zip->close();
}
}
return false;
}
//Returns true if $item is matched once through $array by preg_match()
function match($item, $array)
{
$matching = array("\\" => "[\/|\\\]", "/" => "[\/|\\\]");
foreach($array as $i)
{
$str = strtr($i, $matching); //creates the regex
if(preg_match("/".$str."/i", $item))
return true;
}
return false;
}
?>
I added a parameter to zipData() called $nozip, which is an array containing the name (or relative path) of the folders you want to exclude. Then to do the matching I added a function called match() that uses regex to match strongly and it zips the file/folder if it's not in $nozip.
It definetly works in local

There's good answers here.
Here is mine for you to choose the best for you.
I simply add a new var $exclude, you can set folders and files you want to exclude.
E.g.
You want to exclude the folder 3, 7, and the file 8/fdsgdfg.js:
<?php
/*
* PHP: Recursively Backup Files & Folders to ZIP-File
* (c) 2012-2014: Marvin Menzerath - http://menzerath.eu
* contribution: Drew Toddsby
*/
// Make sure the script can handle large folders/files
ini_set('max_execution_time', 600);
ini_set('memory_limit','1024M');
$dir = '/var/www/hack/to_bk';
$exclude = array("$dir/3","$dir/7", "$dir/8/fdsgdfg.js");
// Start the backup!
zipData($dir, '/var/www/html/uploaded.zip', $exclude);
echo 'Finished.';
// Here the magic happens :)
function zipData($source, $destination, $exclude) {
if (extension_loaded('zip')) {
if (file_exists($source)) {
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
$source = realpath($source);
if (is_dir($source)) {
$iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source);
// skip dot files while iterating
$iterator->setFlags(RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ( in_array($file, $exclude) ) {
continue;
}
if ( is_file($file) ) {
$p = pathinfo($file);
if ( in_array($p['dirname'], $exclude) ) {
continue;
}
}
$file = realpath($file);
if (is_dir($file)) {
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
} else if (is_file($file)) {
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
} else if (is_file($source)) {
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
}
return $zip->close();
}
}
return false;
}
if the current file/folder is in array, then just continue, do not execute the code, if its a file, lets verify if this folder's file is in the exclude array.
No extra functions, just one more parameter and there it is =)

try to add an array of excluded folders in your zip function. Of course the excluded folders have to be sub-folders of your $source
ini_set('memory_limit','1024M');
// Start the backup!
zipData('/var/www/html/uploaded', '/var/www/html/uploaded.zip', array('/var/www/html/uploaded/sb0','/var/www/html/uploaded/sb1','/var/www/html/uploaded/sb2','/var/www/html/uploaded/sb3'));
echo 'Finished.';
// Here the magic happens :)
function zipData($source, $destination, $excluded = array()) {
if (extension_loaded('zip')) {
if (file_exists($source)) {
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
$source = realpath($source);
if (is_dir($source)) {
$iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source);
// skip dot files while iterating
$iterator->setFlags(RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$file = realpath($file);
if (in_array($file,$excluded,true)!=true) { // if (!in_array($file,$excluded,true)) // check if sub-folder is in excluded array.
if (is_dir($file)) {
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
} else if (is_file($file)) {
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
}
} else if (is_file($source)) {
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
}
return $zip->close();
}
}
return false;
}
