This example demonstrates how to check out a directory from
a repository to a directory named calc:

<div class="example-contents">
<div class="phpcode"><code><span style="color: #000000">
<span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br />svn_checkout</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'http://www.example.com/svnroot/calc/trunk'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #0000BB">dirname</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">__FILE__</span><span style="color: #007700">) . </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'/calc'</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span>
</span>

</div>
<div class="example-contents"><p>
The <em>dirname(__FILE__)</em> call is necessary in order
to convert the calc relative path into an absolute one. If calc
exists, you can also use <span class="function"><a href="function.realpath.html" class="function">realpath()</a></span> to retrieve
an absolute path.
