note 43806 deleted from function.scandir by tomsommer

Note Submitter: marcjon@fastmail.fm ---- Here's a directory scanner I wrote. It returns an array of dirs and files starting in a specifies directory. The $max variable is used to ensure that this function doesn't overload and crash the system. <?php function scan_recurse_dir ($startdir,$max = 0){ // Returns an array of files and folders. // It starts in a dir and searches all sub dirs as well. // Prevent double slashes. if (substr($startdir,strlen($startdir)-1,1) == "/"){ $startdir = substr($startdir,0,strlen($startdir)-1);} // This prevents the function from going to deep. Change as neccesary. if ($max < 100){ $dir = $startdir; $files1 = scandir($dir); if (!is_dir($dir) or !is_readable($dir)){return false;} // Loop through files and dirs. foreach ($files1 as $file){ // If it's a folder, do a check of that folder. if (is_dir($file) AND $file != "." AND $file != ".."){$return2 = scan_recurse_dir ( $dir."/".$file,($max+1)); // Merge the results with results already gathered. if ($return2) {$return = array_merge($return,$return2); unset($return2);} } $return[] = $dir."/".$file; } return $return; } else {return "";} // If it's reached the max, don't return anything and don't perform a scan. } // Example. foreach (scan_recurse_dir("C:/inetpub/wwwroot") as $entry){echo $entry."<br>";} ?>
