Re: Traverse directory - Find empty directory

Hi I'm using Spl RecursiveDirectoryIterator to traverse a directory and have no problem with it but now I'm stuck. I only need to display directories with no files in it. Can someone help with this? My current code: set_time_limit(0); $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('c:\dev'), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); foreach($files as $file) {

    if ($files->isDir()) {
        echo $file . "<br/>";
    }

} I have c:\dev c:\dev\php c:\dev\php\file1.php c:\dev\php\file2.php c:\dev\php\test c:\dev\php\test\db I would like to display 'test' because although there is a 'db' folder, there are no files in c:\dev\php\test Bets regards, holo

This should do what you are looking to do. Someone else might find a better way of doing it, but this will work. <?php set_time_limit(0); $path = './'; $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); foreach($files as $file) { if ($files->isDir()) { if ( ( $results = glob($file.'/*') ) !== false ) { $file_found = false; foreach ( $results AS $entry ) { if ( is_file($entry) ) { $file_found = true; break; } } if ( !$file_found ) echo $file . " DOES NOT contain files\n"; } } } -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
