note 40745 added to function.readdir

After looking for awhile for a function which retrieves a folder listing based on certain criteria (return folder, files, or both; search recursively or not), I decided to write my own. Maybe somebody out there will find it helpful. Currently, it returns a flat list, but that can changed to return a nested list by editing the line: $file_list = array_merge($file_list, directory_list($path ... to $file_list[] = directory_list($path ... function directory_list($path, $types="directories", $recursive=0) { // get a list of just the dirs and turn the list into an array // @path starting path from which to search // @types can be "directories", "files", or "all" // @recursive determines whether subdirectories are searched if ($dir = opendir($path)) { $file_list = array(); while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))){ // ignore the . and .. file references if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') { // check whether this is a file or directory and whether we're interested in that type if ((is_dir($path."/".$file)) && (($types=="directories") || ($types=="all"))) { $file_list[] = $file; // if we're in a directory and we want recursive behavior, call this function again if ($recursive) { $file_list = array_merge($file_list, directory_list($path."/".$file."/", $types, $recursive)); } } else if (($types == "files") || ($types == "all")) { $file_list[] = $file; } } } closedir($dir); return $file_list; } else { return false; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40745 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40745&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40745&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
