Automatic commit/revision number in a php file or txt file

Question

I am using: TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN Server

I would like if there is a way to automaticly include the revision number in a file.

All the things I found here were really unclear on how to do it, I am a beginner with SVN so.

Is there a way? And is there an easy guide or something for?

EDIT: I would like the following: in a PHP file the current revision number. So if I commit to version 7, in the PHP file would stand 7. However, I could just do the same in a TXT file. Just the number, and then include it in the PHP.

You could use the SubWCRev program that comes with Tortoise to do this - the official page is here: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-subwcrev.html

I've found if you navigate to a working copy folder in the windows command prompt and run SubWCRev . > version.txt you'll get the following in the version.txt file:

SubWCRev: 'C:\Users\User\SVN\repo1'
Last committed at revision X
Updated to revision Y
Local modifications found
Unversioned items found

Hope that gets you what you want.
