Checks out a working copy from the repository

bool svn_checkout ( string $repos, string $targetpath [, int $revision [, int $flags = 0 ]] )

Checks out a working copy from the repository at repos to targetpath at revision revision.

Parameters:

repos

String URL path to directory in repository to check out.

targetpath

String local path to directory to check out in to

Note: Relative paths will be resolved as if the current working directory was the one that contains the PHP binary. To use the calling script's working directory, use realpath() or dirname(__FILE__).

revision

Integer revision number of repository to check out. Default is HEAD, the most recent revision.

flags

Any combination of SVN_NON_RECURSIVE and SVN_IGNORE_EXTERNALS.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples:

Basic example

This example demonstrates how to check out a directory from a repository to a directory named calc:

<?php
svn_checkout('http://www.example.com/svnroot/calc/trunk', dirname(__FILE__) . '/calc');
?>

The dirname(__FILE__) call is necessary in order to convert the calc relative path into an absolute one. If calc exists, you can also use realpath() to retrieve an absolute path.
