PHP - Determine File System Type


MartinK

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Is there a PHP way of determining filesystem type like xfs, ext4, etc. without additional (non-standard) PHP modules or libraries? Access to the command line is forbidden for security reasons.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Martin

No. 

 

If it's linux you can do something like this with mount:

<?php

exec('mount', $output, $result);

if ($result == 0) {
  echo "<pre>";
  var_dump($output);
  echo "</pre>";
} else {
  echo "Failed with result: $result<br>";
}

 

If that works, I leave the parsing of filesystem from the output to you.  You'd also have to determine which filesystem is relevant perhaps using getcwd or realpath(__FILE__)
