note 50249 added to ref.dir

Hi, I worked a lot with some usefull recursive functions and one "C pointer-like" approach using PHP. The result is a small code to read directories and files to generate an associative array. I hope if this will be usefull for you as was to me. (Ah, sorry by my poor english!) There it's the code: function &walkThroughDir ($path,&$filelist) { if (!is_dir($path)) return NULL; $resdir = @opendir ($path) or die("Error reading ".$path); // It's the secret for this recursive function $ret = &$filelist; while ( ($entry=readdir($resdir))!==false ) { if ( is_dir($path."/".$entry)=="dir" ) { //if it's a directory... if ($entry!="." and $entry!="..") {//do not use ./ or ../ // Call himself using the same result array walkThroughDir($path."/".$entry,$ret); }//if } else { // if it is not a dir, read the filenames $ret[$path][] = $entry; }//if }//while closedir($resdir); return $ret; }//walkThroughDir This function will generate something alike: Array ( [/Library/WebServer/Documents/component/test/subtest] => Array ( [0] => linuxitscool.php ) [/Library/WebServer/Documents/component/test] => Array ( [0] => macosxrulez.php [1] => unixrulez.php ) [/Library/WebServer/Documents/dev/component] => Array ( [0] => Component.h.php [1] => Component.pkg.php ) ) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50249 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50249&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50249&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50249&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50249&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50249&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50249&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
