note 92710 added to function.glob

Those of you with PHP 5 don't have to come up with these wild functions to scan a directory recursively: the SPL can do it. <?php $dir_iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator("/path"); $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir_iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); // could use CHILD_FIRST if you so wish foreach ($iterator as $file) { echo $file, "\n"; } ?> Not to mention the fact that $file will be an SplFileInfo class, so you can do powerful stuff really easily: <?php $size = 0; foreach ($iterator as $file) { if ($file->isFile()) { echo substr($file->getPathname(), 27) . ": " . $file->getSize() . " B; modified " . date("Y-m-d", $file->getMTime()) . "\n"; $size += $file->getSize(); } } echo "\nTotal file size: ", $size, " bytes\n"; ?> \Luna\luna.msstyles: 4190352 B; modified 2008-04-13 \Luna\Shell\Homestead\shellstyle.dll: 362496 B; modified 2006-02-28 \Luna\Shell\Metallic\shellstyle.dll: 362496 B; modified 2006-02-28 \Luna\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll: 361472 B; modified 2006-02-28 \Luna.theme: 1222 B; modified 2006-02-28 \Windows Classic.theme: 3025 B; modified 2006-02-28 Total file size: 5281063 bytes ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 64.81.169.38 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92710 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92710 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92710 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
