note 37188 deleted from function.readdir by tularis

Note Submitter: mikael[at]limpreacher[d0t]com ---- I don't know if I haven't had the patience to go trough enough notes, but I didn't find any tip on how to recurively get a directory listing (show subdirectories too), so, as many other, I wrote one. Hopefully this will help someone. <?php function direcho($path) { if ($dir = opendir($path)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))){ if (is_dir($path.$file)) { // if it's a dir, check it's contents too if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') { // ...but dont go recursive on '.' and '..' echo '<li><b>' . $file . '</b></li><ul>'; direcho($path.$file); // This is a feature that surprised me, it IS possible to call // the function itself from inside that function. echo '</ul>'; } else { //if it IS '.' or '..' , just output. echo '<li><b>' . $file . '</b></li>'; } } else { //if it's not a dir, just output. echo '<li>' . $file . '</li>'; } } closedir($dir); } } direcho('/path/to/home/dir/'); // somehow only the absolute path ('/home/yourhomedir/public_html/testdir/') worked for me... ?> Yippii! my first contribution to this site!
