Getting a list of all subdirectories and storing them inside an array

[sh0wtym3]

I'm looking for a way to get a list of all subdirectories, and then store them inside an array. There will be a different number of subdirectories each time this script is run.

 

Basically my ftp directory will look something like:

 

                      rootfolder

                              |

subfolder 1    subfolder 2    subfolder 3

 

 

My php script will be located inside the "rootfolder". I want to take and store the names of each subfolder into an array, like:

$dirArray = ("$subfolder1", "$subfolder2", "$subfolder3");

 

The problem is I don't know how to search for existing subdirectories and store their names inside an array... Does anyone know how to?

You will need to write a recursive function (a recursive function is a function that calls itself). The function will be passed a directory, which it will open, iterate through each subdirectory and call itself on that directory.

 

See the following link:

you could try using one of these glob statements

glob(./*/*.*)

glob(~/.*/*)

glob(*/*)

glob(../*/*)
