Description Author

This class can scan directories to detect modified files.

It can traverse given directories recursively to retrieve the list of files and their last modification dates and content hashes.

The class queries a MySQL database table to check if each of the found file is already in the scanned database table.

It will insert table records for each new file that is found.

If any files that were already recorded had the hash value changed, the class will send a notification to a given email address to notify file changes.

The class may exclude certain directories and files from the scan process.
