• Copy the update folder to your project (what should be updated)
• Create a update.ini on your server (where the updates are from)

Important: Please notice that PHP needs write permissions to update the files on your webserver

The update folder consists of two files:

• index.php - includes the class and calls the update
• update.php - update class

You should not call the update out of your project (what happens if you try to update a file which is in use at the moment?). At your server you need a folder with a configuration file update.ini and the ziped versions.

The update.ini should look like this:

[1]
version = 0.1
url = http:https://example.com/updates/0.1.zip

[2]
version = 0.2
url = http:https://example.com/updates/0.2.zip

You can name the versions whatever you want but the sections (for example [1]) has to be an integer so that the class can compare the versions. You cannot compare 1.4.3-13.r1441 with 1.4.3-12.r1445 without problems. The url has to be absolute.

Zip your project and rename it to version.zip. The zip file should include all of the project files.

/*
 * Index.php in the folder update
 */

require('update.php');

$update = new AutoUpdate(true); //Enable logging

$update->currentVersion = 1;

/*
 * In this example the folder 'updateUrl' includes 3 files, 0.1.zip, 0.2.zip and update.ini
 */
$update->updateUrl = 'http:https://example.com/updates';

$latest = $update->checkUpdate();

if ($latest !== false) {
	if ($latest > $update->currentVersion) {
		//Install new update
		echo "New Version: ".$update->latestVersionName."<br>";
		
		//You can also stop here and let the user decide when to update.
		echo "Installing Update...<br>";
		if ($update->update()) {
			echo "Update successful!";
		}
		else {
			echo "Update failed!";
		}
		
	}
	else {
		echo "Current Version is up to date";
	}
}
else {
	echo $update->getLastError();
}
