Listing all files in folder/subfolder - attempting to solve with recursion

[myndcraft]

I'll preface my first post here with the fact that I am brand spanking new to PHP, I do have familiarity with other programming & scripting languages though so hopefully I will be on the ball here shortly.

 

What I'm trying to do is get a list of all files contained in a folder and it's sub folders.  I found this function which works on just the main directory the php file is called from

<?php
$dirArray = getContents(".");

echo count($dirArray);

function getContents($curDir){
$openDir = opendir($curDir);
while($entryName = readdir($openDir)) {
	if($entryName != ".DS_Store" && filetype($entryName) != "dir"){
			$dirArray[] = $entryName;
			echo $entryName;
	}
}
closedir($openDir);
return $dirArray;
}
?>

 

So after looking at that and expanding on it a bit I came up with this

 

<?php
$dirArray = getContents(".");

echo count($dirArray);

function getContents($curDir){	
$openDir = opendir($curDir);
while($entryName = readdir($openDir)) {
	if(filetype($entryName) == "dir") {
		$dirArray[] = getContents($entryName);
	} else {
		if($entryName != ".DS_Store"){
			$dirArray[] = $entryName;
			echo $entryName;
		}
	}
}
closedir($openDir);
return $dirArray;
}
?>

 

When I run this though I get a bunch of errors like this

 

Warning: filetype(): Lstat failed for Nike-poster.jpg in /Library/WebServer/Documents/sandbox/test3.php on line 11

Nike-poster.jpg

Warning: filetype(): Lstat failed for Nike.mov in /Library/WebServer/Documents/sandbox/test3.php on line 11

Nike.mov

 

The issue here is that the files in question don't reside in the directory tree so somehow we are escaping it.  Can anyone provide some insight on this?

 

Thanks!

Readdir returns . and .. as files, which are the current and level-up folders.  That would be why it's going up a folder.

Ugh, thanks corbin ya gotta love those brain dead moments!

Well halfway there...  I think.  It did work on my test box, but when trying on a live server sandbox I ran into a bunch of errors

Warning: filetype(): Lstat failed for (null) (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/media/httpdocs/test3.php on line 37

And because I was running on too little sleep here is the code I was using that worked on the test machine, but produced the errors in the above post.

<?php
$dirArray = getContents(".");

function getContents($curDir){

$openDir = opendir($curDir);

while($entryName = readdir($openDir)) {
	if(filetype($entryName) == "dir" && $entryName != "." && $entryName != "..") {
		$dirArray[] = getContents($entryName);
	} else {
		if($entryName != ".DS_Store"){
			$dirArray[] = $entryName;
		}
	}
}
closedir($openDir);
return $dirArray;
}
?>
