Find files

[hackalive]

Hi, I need some code that searches all folders in a folder tree for specific file names (eg my.php).

 

I need to be able to echo the file name and full url (eg admin/my.php or just admin) in other worrds I need the folder locations of each copy of that file

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

Use the DirectoryIterator class to loop through the directories. To get the filename for comparison use the DirectoryIterator::getFilename() method, and to get the path of the files that match use the DirectoryIterator::getPathname() method.

@AlexWD could you please provide a sample, especially for the loop part

If you want it to search all subdirectories recursively you'll need to use the RecursiveDirectoryIterator. Here's an example:

 

$it = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('path/to/dir');
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($it) as $path) {
if(pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_BASENAME) == 'my.php') {
	echo $path . "<br />\n";
}
}
