NotExists

Zend\Validator\File\NotExists checks for the existence of files in specified directories.

This validator is inversely related to the Exists validator.

Supported Options

The following set of options are supported:

• directory: Array of directories or comma-delimited string of directories against which to validate.

Basic Usage

use Zend\Validator\File\NotExists;

// Only allow files that do not exist in ~either~ directories
$validator = new NotExists('/tmp,/var/tmp');

// ... or with array notation:
$validator = new NotExists(['/tmp', '/var/tmp']);

// ... or using options notation:
$validator = new NotExists(['directory' => [
    '/tmp',
    '/var/tmp',
]]);

// Perform validation
if ($validator->isValid('/home/myfile.txt')) {
    // file is valid
}

Checks against all directories

This validator checks whether the specified file does not exist in any of the given directories; validation will fail if the file exists in one (or more) of the given directories.
