note 93547 deleted from function.opendir by googleguy

Note Submitter: jamon at clearsightdesign dot com ---- Another take on olivernasser's function below. I find this one slightly easier to understand. <?php // file_array() by Jamon Holmgren. Exclude files by putting them in the $exclude // string separated by pipes. Returns an array with filenames as strings. function file_array($path, $exclude = ".|..", $recursive = false) { $path = rtrim($path, "/") . "/"; $folder_handle = opendir($path); $exclude_array = explode("|", $exclude); $result = array(); while(false !== ($filename = readdir($folder_handle))) { if(!in_array(strtolower($filename), $exclude_array)) { if(is_dir($path . $filename . "/")) { if($recursive) $result[] = file_array($path, $exclude, true); } else { $result[] = $filename; } } } return $result; } ?>
