# svn_import

(PECL svn:0.2)

svn_import — Imports an unversioned path into a repository

### Description

bool svn_import ( string `$path` , string `$url` , bool `$nonrecursive` )

Commits unversioned `path` into repository at `url` . If `path` is a directory and `nonrecursive` is `FALSE`, the directory will be imported recursively.

### Parameters

`path`

  Path of file or directory to import.

  > 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__).

`url`

  Repository URL to import into.

`nonrecursive`

  Whether or not to refrain from recursively processing directories.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.
