note 11503 added to readdir

This is a simple function to list the entire contentes of a givendirectory and all of its subdirectories: function GetDirContents($path,&$fileArray) { $currentDir=openDir("$path"); while($dirList = readDir($currentDir)) { if(($dirList!=".")&&($dirList!="..")) { $i=count(&$fileArray); $fileArray[$i] = $path."/".$dirList; $sPath =$fileArray[$i]; if(is_dir($sPath)) { GetDirContents($sPath,&$fileArray); } } } } //Create a variable containing the path //to the initial directory $path = "some directory path"; //Create an array to hold the files $filesArray = array(); //Pass the array by reference GetDirContents($path,&$fileArray) This is very useful when you need to list out the entire contents of a directory, and you need that list for future use. Great if you need to open and manipulate all files in a give directory and its subdirectories without already knowing how many files and subdirectories there are. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php
