note 16097 added to function.array-diff

I just came upon a really good use for array_diff(). When reading a dir(opendir;readdir), I _rarely_ want "." or ".." to be in the array of files I'm creating. Here's a simple way to remove them: $someFiles = array(); $dp = opendir("/some/dir"); while($someFiles[] = readdir($dp)); closedir($dp); $removeDirs = array(".",".."); $someFiles = array_diff($someFiles, $removeDirs); foreach($someFiles AS $thisFile) echo $thisFile."\n"; S -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16097 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16097 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16097
