Check if specific folder contains files, folders, both or none ?

[Peuplarchie]

Good day to you all,

        is there a way to check if a specific folder contains: files, folder, both or none ?

 

I read my folder with Glob, like my code here :

 

<?PHP
function globDir($dir)
{
   $files = glob("$dir/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
   
 if(!empty($files))
   {
      echo "<ul>\n";

      foreach($files as $file)
      {
         echo "<li><b>". basename($file)."</b>\n";
         globDir($file);
         echo "</li>\n";
      }
      echo "</ul>\n";
   }
}
globDir('Photos');
?>

 

 

The only thing I have really found is how to find if a specific file exists.

 

I'm trying to find out if a specific folder contains : files, folders, both, none.

It would return the appropriate word accordingly.

 

Thanks and take care!

I am not sure but I suspect that you probably have to access the folder to see what is in it.

Search the manual and see what is there.

You can use is_dir & is_file but subfolders will always contain the . & .. I think, so after that it is a matter of reading the directory contents and checking what each is. As I say, there may be a way to do what you want, but I have not used it.
