note 63571 added to function.md5-file

i had a need to create something that would md5 an entire directory to ensure that a directory being copied to another location would match the original... it just saves the md5 of the directory to a file but i'm sure all you smart people out there can figure out how to hack this for your own purposes function parse_dir($fp, $path) { $d1 = dir($path); $files = array(); while (false !== ($files[] = $d1->read())); // removes the false, ., .., then reindex unset($files[count($files) - 1]); unset($files[0]); unset($files[1]); sort($files); for($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++) { $md5sum = md5($files[$i])."\n"; fwrite($fp, $md5sum); if (is_dir("$path/$files[$i]")) parse_dir($fp, "$path/$files[$i]"); } } function md5dir($filename) { $tempname = tempnam("/tmp", "md5list"); $fp = fopen($tempname, "w+"); parse_dir($fp, getcwd()); fclose($fp); $fp = fopen($filename, "w+"); fwrite($fp, md5_file($tempname)); fclose($fp); unlink($tempname); } md5dir($argv[1]); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 207.104.65.139 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5-file.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63571 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63571 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63571 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
