use rsync in php

To use rsync in PHP, we can use the shell_exec() function to execute the rsync command in the shell.

Here is an example code that synchronizes a source directory to a destination directory using rsync:

main.php
$srcDir = '/path/to/source/directory';
$destDir = '/path/to/destination/directory';

$command = "rsync -avz $srcDir/ $destDir";

$output = shell_exec($command);

echo $output;
176 chars
9 lines

In the example code above, we define the source and destination directories as variables. We then use these variables to construct the rsync command, which is executed using shell_exec(). The -a option preserves the file permissions and timestamps, -v enables verbose output, and -z compresses the data during transfer.

The shell_exec() function returns the output of the command as a string, which we can then display on the screen using echo.
