dsaba Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi! I have a function that I found on google, that goes through a directory and spits out a directory tree in an array, with arrays inside of arrays, and more and more arrays inside of arrays, depending on how many subdirectories are there..... Here is a sample "directory tree" it spits out. My problem is wanting to be able to create a new array containing only the paths to all the subdirectories it finds from this array, so it is with array manipulation... Not all paths are located in the topmost array's values, but some directories are within other subdirectories and so forth.. I'm stumped on how exactly to sort through this array, whether recursively or not to grab all the 'paths' in the array period. Array ( [0] => Array ( [path] => C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/website/Mirrors/remote package/root/buildgallery.php [name] => buildgallery.php [extension] => php [size]

trying to grab all the 'kind' of 'directory' no matter how deep they are of inside of inside other arrays, how deep I have to look is the part that stumps me, for example, I could look inside 3 times, into 3 different arrays if I know the specific tree structure, but most of the time I won't but will still want to look through it all somehow and grab all the subdirectories paths Thanks for reading!
