note 124816 added to directoryiterator.construct

Many developers get confused between DirectoryIterator and FilesystemIterator, there are a few small differences that I'm goning to list them here: DirectoryIterator: * Includes the "." and ".." within the path. * Numberd keys. * Path is not included in in value. * No configuration available. * You do need to use "clone" when storing the elements into an array. Example: <?php $files = []; foreach ($dir as $key => $item) { echo $key.PHP_EOL; // The key is a number $files[] = $item; } echo $files[0]->getFilename(); // nothing happens here, you do need to use clone $item inside the foreach ?> FilesystemIterator: * Dot files skipped. * Pathname is used as a key as well as a value. * Configurable. * Uses SplFileInfo to store the files. "FilesystemIterator" it's an enhanced version of DirectoryIterator, and I prefer to use it instead of the DirectoryIterator. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.195 (proxied: 109.57.42.245) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/directoryiterator.construct.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124816 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124816 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124816 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
