About deployX update maker

This script implements a robust update mechanism for a PHP-based application called deployX. It manages file and folder operations, generates and processes logs, handles ignored files, downloads and extracts updates, and packages updated files into a zip archive. Below are some highlights and suggestions to ensure it remains clean and efficient:

Highlights:

1. Recursive File Handling:

   • The use of RecursiveDirectoryIterator and RecursiveIteratorIterator simplifies the traversal of directories for tasks like copying, deleting, and zipping files.
   • Normalizing content and ignoring patterns with wildcard support makes the comparison process robust.

2. Customizable Update Logic:

   • It adapts based on the presence of patch.php, supporting both stable and normal update types.
   • Dynamic file downloading and extraction ensure that updates are fetched only when needed.

3. Comprehensive Feedback:

   • Color-coded status messages (pass and fail) provide clear feedback to users on each operation.

4. Backup and Safety Measures:

   • Prior deletion of specific directories/files before updates reduces the risk of conflicts.
