php-plocate-wrapper

php wrapper for plocate and plocate-build command for search files

find files by plocate db

search files using locate.db(plocate database)

<?php
$locate = new LocateWrap();
$ret = $locate->search('composer.json');
foreach ($ret as $item) {
  var_dump($item);
}

find files from sub-directory ( not from / )

We can find files from only sub-directory by shell.

## build file database only ~/Documents
subdir=/home/takuya/Documemts
cd $subdir 
find . -type f -printf '%P\n' > find-results.txt
plocate-build -p find-results.txt my-document.db
## find from using custom database
plocate -d my-document.db .docx

This project is aimed to build that database. sample code is below.

<?php
$builder = new LocateDbBuilder('~/.Document.db','~/Document');
$builder->build();

$locate = new LocateWrap('~/.Document.db');
$found = $locate->search('.docx');
