::lowest

Compare \DateTimeInterface from parameters and return the lowest

DateTimeComparator::lowest($dateTime1, $dateTime2, $dateTime3, ...) : ?\DateTimeInterface

Temporary file management

The class TemporaryFile helps you to create temporary file with ease.

::__construct()

TemporaryFile::__construct(TemporaryDirectory $dir = null, string $prefix = '')

Examples:

// Create a file in temporary folder
$file = new TemporaryFile();

// Create a file inside a temporary directory (see TemporaryDirectory class)
$file = new TemporaryFile($temporaryDir);

// Create a file in a temporary folder with php_ prefix.
$file = new TemporaryFile(null, 'php_');

::setContent & ::getContent

TemporaryFile::setContent(string $content)
TemporaryFile::getContent(): string

::getPathname()

Returns the complete path to the file (ie: /tmp/generated-folder/filename)

TemporaryFile::getPathname(): string

::remove()

Removes the file from filesystem.

TemporaryFile::remove()

Temporary directory management

::__construct()

TemporaryDirectory::__construct(string $dir = null, string $prefix = 'phpgenerated')

Examples:

// create a new directory
$directory = new TemporaryDirectory();

::getTemporaryFile()

Create a TemporaryFile from the directory generated.

TemporaryDirectory::getTemporaryFile(): TemporaryFile

::remove()

Removes the directory.

TemporaryDirectory::remove(bool $force = false): void

If force is specified to true, it will remove the directory even if it has files inside.
