Glob to find all .pdf files above $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

[cooldude832]

so I thought this would work but it returns only the current folder's context for pdfs (tried it with .php also same thing)

<?php
foreach (glob("*.pdf") as $filename) {
    echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n<br />";
}
?>
?>

 

Trying to find a pdf on a server and I have no clue where it is how can I get all folders and not just the current working one?

You would need to write a recursive function. If this is just a one off that your looking for and you have shell access, easier to use Linux's find command.

 

Run from /

find -name *pdf

I don't have shell access and i'm spacing on how to get all the dirs with glob.
