Windows batch command equivalent for these PHP and Bash commands

Question

What are the equivalent commands in Windows if I have these commands in Linux?

if (!is_dir('geoip')) mkdir('geoip', 0744);
shell_exec('unzip -oj GeoLiteCity.zip -d geoip/');

shell_exec('rm -rf geoip/');

Answer 1

You should download and install GnuWin32 to get all the basic UNIX commands on Windows, for example, wget, sed, cat, grep, rm, mkdir, unzip – all you need.

Answer 2

if you can afford to just ignore errors, then the following would work for your PHP commands:

(Hopefully you've got a statement prior to this putting your process in the proper subdirectory BEFORE you do this... like this)

cd c:\mystuff\temp\

mkdir geoip
unzip -oj GeoLiteCity.zip -d geoip/
rmdir /S /Q geoip/

If geoip already exists, the mkdir will return an error, but it's not fatal. Of course, if you unzip something on top of something pre-existing, you've got issues. But your original script doesn't cover that either.

rmdir /S /Q geoip/ will remove the subdir geoip and anything below it. same as rm -rf

BE CAREFUL with rmdir /S /Q, you can do stupid things with it quite easily.

• Given a folder, unzips to that location
• Given invalid path, makes dir and unzips
• Given a file, renames that file to filename.old, makes dir and unzips

script.bat

@echo off

IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO Make_Folder

REM File exists, test to see if it's a folder
REM Get attributes of first param. 
set ATTR=%~a1

REM if first character is "d", it's a folder
set DIRATTR=%ATTR:~0,1%
IF /I "%DIRATTR%"=="d" GOTO Extract

:Is_File
echo %1 already exists and will be renamed. 
pause
ren %1 %1.old

:Make_Folder
mkdir %1
attrib +r %1

:Extract
unzip -oj GeoLiteCity.zip -d geoip
echo Extraction test complete. Extracted files will now be deleted. 
pause
attrib -r -s -h %1
rmdir /S /Q %1

Usage

script "my folder"
