All files from a folder (and subfolders) into an array

[majik92]

Hello

 

I can get all the files from a folder into an array, but how do get the files from subfolders within that folder into the array too.

 

For example there are these 3 files:

original/file1.rar

original/file2.rar

original/bob/file3.rar

 

I am trying to get the above in to one array so that:

$array[0] is "original/file1.rar"

$array[1] is "original/file2.rar" and

$array[2] is "original/bob/file3.rar"

 

Thanks

$array = array();
if (is_dir('original')) {
    if ($dir = opendir('original')) {
        while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
            if (is_file('original/' . $file))
                $array[] = 'original/' . $file;
            elseif(is_dir('original/' . $file)) {
                if ($dir = opendir('original')) {
                    while (($file2 = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
                    if (is_file('original/' . $file . '/' . $file2))
                        $array[] = 'original/' . $file . '/' . $file2;
                }
                closedir($dir);
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($dir);
    }
}

On the same idea, what about if you didn't know how many sub directories there were? Anyway to just scan the dir and get everything?

[laffin]

function recdir($base) {
  $files=array();
  if(is_dir($base) &&$ $dh=opendir($base))   {
    while($file=readdir($dh))     {
       if($file=='.' || $file== '..') continue;
       if(is_dir($file)) {
         $subfiles=recdir($base.'/'.$file);
         $tfiles=array_merge($files,$subfiles);
         $files=$tfiles;
       } else {
         $files[]=$base.'/'.$file;
       }
    }
  }
  return $files;
}

 

I think that shud work May require tweaking, not tested

laffin beats me in it almost same code...i just put more time to test it and it works

 

This code works till 3 levels of sub dirs, pl feel free to modify it as per convinience.

 

<?php 
$path = "/tmp";

function getFileList($path, $level=1) {
    $arrFiles = scandir($path);
    $arrFileList = array();
    $intCount = count($arrFiles);
    for($i=0;$i<$intCount;$i++) {
        if($arrFiles[$i] != "." && $arrFiles[$i] != "..") {
            if(is_dir($path."/".$arrFiles[$i])) {
                if($level > 3) return $arrFileList;
                $arrFileList = array_merge($arrFileList, getFileList($path."/".$arrFiles[$i],$level+1));
            } else {
                $arrFileList[] = $path."/".$arrFiles[$i];
            }
        }
    }
    return($arrFileList);
}

var_dump(getFileList($path));

?>

Thanks samshel! It seems to work. I really appreciate it.
