Easy way to get rid of the dots that scandir() picks up in Linux environments:
<?php
$directory = '/path/to/my/directory';
$scanned_directory = array_diff(scandir($directory), array('..', '.'));

scandir — Liste les fichiers et dossiers dans un dossier
$directory, int $sorting_order = SCANDIR_SORT_ASCENDING, ?resource $context = null): array|false
Retourne un tableau de fichier
et dossier, issus de directory.
directoryLe dossier qui sera analysé.
sorting_order
Par défaut, le tri est en ordre alphabétique, croissant. Si le
paramètre optionnel sorting_order
est défini à SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING,
alors le tri sera en ordre alphabétique inverse.
Si ce paramètre est défini à SCANDIR_SORT_NONE,
alors le résultat ne sera pas trié.
context
Pour une description du paramètre context,
référez-vous à la section flux de
données du manuel.
Retourne un tableau des fichiers en cas de succès ou false en cas
d'échec. Si directory n'est pas un dossier, alors
une valeur booléenne false est retournée et une erreur de niveau
E_WARNING est générée.

Exemple #1 Un simple exemple avec scandir()
<?php
$dir = '/tmp';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
$files2 = scandir($dir, SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING);
print_r($files1);
print_r($files2);
?>Résultat de l'exemple ci-dessus est similaire à :
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => bar.php
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)
Array
(
[0] => somedir
[1] => foo.txt

Easy way to get rid of the dots that scandir() picks up in Linux environments:
<?php
$directory = '/path/to/my/directory';
$scanned_directory = array_diff(scandir($directory), array('..', '.'));
?>Here is my 2 cents. I wanted to create an array of my directory structure recursively. I wanted to easely access data in a certain directory using foreach. I came up with the following:
<?php
function dirToArray($dir) {
$result = array();
$cdir = scandir($dir);
foreach ($cdir as $key => $value)
{
if (!in_array($value,array(".","..")))
{
if (is_dir($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value))
{
$result[$value] = dirToArray($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value);
}
else
{
$result[] = $value;
}
}
}
return $result;
}
?>
Output
Array
(
[subdir1] => Array
(
[0] => file1.txt
[subsubdir] => Array
(
[0] => file2.txt
[1] => file3.txt
)
)
[subdir2] => Array
(
[0] => file4.txt
}
)Someone wrote that array_slice could be used to quickly remove directory entries "." and "..". However, "-" is a valid entry that would come before those, so array_slice would remove the wrong entries.I needed to find a way to get the full path of all files in the directory and all subdirectories of a directory.
Here's my solution: Recursive functions!
<?php
function find_all_files($dir)
{
$root = scandir($dir);
foreach($root as $value)
{
if($value === '.' || $value === '..') {continue;}
if(is_file("$dir/$value")) {$result[]="$dir/$value";continue;}
foreach(find_all_files("$dir/$value") as $value)
{
$result[]=$value;
}
}
return $result;
}
?>Needed something that could return the contents of single or multiple directories, recursively or non-recursively,
for all files or specified file extensions that would be
accessible easily from any scope or script.
And I wanted to allow overloading cause sometimes I'm too lazy to pass all params.
<?php
class scanDir {
static private $directories, $files, $ext_filter, $recursive;
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// scan(dirpath::string|array, extensions::string|array, recursive::true|false)
static public function scan(){
// Initialize defaults
self::$recursive = false;
self::$directories = array();
self::$files = array();
self::$ext_filter = false;
// Check we have minimum parameters
if(!$args = func_get_args()){
die("Must provide a path string or array of path strings");
}
if(gettype($args[0]) != "string" && gettype($args[0]) != "array"){
die("Must provide a path string or array of path strings");
}
// Check if recursive scan | default action: no sub-directories
if(isset($args[2]) && $args[2] == true){self::$recursive = true;}
// Was a filter on file extensions included? | default action: return all file types
if(isset($args[1])){
if(gettype($args[1]) == "array"){self::$ext_filter = array_map('strtolower', $args[1]);}
else
if(gettype($args[1]) == "string"){self::$ext_filter[] = strtolower($args[1]);}
}
// Grab path(s)
self::verifyPaths($args[0]);
return self::$files;
}
static private function verifyPaths($paths){
$path_errors = array();
if(gettype($paths) == "string"){$paths = array($paths);}
foreach($paths as $path){
if(is_dir($path)){
self::$directories[] = $path;
$dirContents = self::find_contents($path);
} else {
$path_errors[] = $path;
}
}
if($path_errors){echo "The following directories do not exists<br />";die(var_dump($path_errors));}
}
// This is how we scan directories
static private function find_contents($dir){
$result = array();
$root = scandir($dir);
foreach($root as $value){
if($value === '.' || $value === '..') {continue;}
if(is_file($dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value)){
if(!self::$ext_filter || in_array(strtolower(pathinfo($dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)), self::$ext_filter)){
self::$files[] = $result[] = $dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value;
}
continue;
}
if(self::$recursive){
foreach(self::find_contents($dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value) as $value) {
self::$files[] = $result[] = $value;
}
}
}
// Return required for recursive search
return $result;
}
}
?>
Usage:
scanDir::scan(path(s):string|array, [file_extensions:string|array], [subfolders?:true|false]);
<?php
//Scan a single directory for all files, no sub-directories
$files = scanDir::scan('D:\Websites\temp');
//Scan multiple directories for all files, no sub-dirs
$dirs = array(
'D:\folder';
'D:\folder2';
'C:\Other';
);
$files = scanDir::scan($dirs);
// Scan multiple directories for files with provided file extension,
// no sub-dirs
$files = scanDir::scan($dirs, "jpg");
//or with an array of extensions
$file_ext = array(
"jpg",
"bmp",
"png"
);
$files = scanDir::scan($dirs, $file_ext);
// Scan multiple directories for files with any extension,
// include files in recursive sub-folders
$files = scanDir::scan($dirs, false, true);
// Multiple dirs, with specified extensions, include sub-dir files
$files = scanDir::scan($dirs, $file_ext, true);
?>Fastest way to get a list of files without dots.
<?php
$files = array_slice(scandir('/path/to/directory/'), 2);How i solved problem with '.' and '..'
$x = scandir__DIR__; //any directory
foreach ($x as $key => $value) {
if ('.' !== $value && '..' !== $value){
echo $value;
}
}
Simple and workingA simple recursive function to list all files and subdirectories in a directory:
<?php
function listAllFiles($dir) {
$array = array_diff(scandir($dir), array('.', '..'));
foreach ($array as &$item) {
$item = $dir . $item;
}
unset($item);
foreach ($array as $item) {
if (is_dir($item)) {
$array = array_merge($array, listAllFiles($item . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));
}
}
return $array;
}
?>Scandir on steroids:
For when you want to filter your file list, or only want to list so many levels of subdirectories...
<?php
function dirList($path="", $types=2, $levels=1, $aFilter=array()) {
// returns an array of the specified files/directories
// start search in $path (defaults to current working directory)
// return $types: 2 => files; 1 => directories; 3 => both;
// $levels: 1 => look in the $path only; 2 => $path and all children;
// 3 => $path, children, grandchildren; 0 => $path and all subdirectories;
// less than 0 => complement of -$levels, OR everything starting -$levels down
// e.g. -1 => everthing except $path; -2 => all descendants except $path + children
// Remaining argument(s) is(are) a filter array(list) of regular expressions which operate on the full path.
// First character (before the '/' of the regExp) '-' => NOT.
// First character (after a possible '-') 'd' => apply to directory name
// The filters may be passed in as an array of strings or as a list of strings
// Note that output directories are prefixed with a '*' (done in the line above the return)
$dS = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if (!($path = realpath($path?$path:getcwd()))) return array(); // bad path
// next line rids terminating \ on drives (works since c: == c:\ on PHP). OK in *nix?
if (substr($path,-1)==$dS) $path = substr($path,0,-1);
if (is_null($types)) $types = 2;
if (is_null($levels)) $levels = 1;
if (is_null($aFilter)) $aFilter=array();
// last argument may be passed as a list or as an array
$aFilter = array_slice(func_get_args(),3);
if ($aFilter && gettype($aFilter[0])=="array") $aFilter=$aFilter[0];
$adFilter = array();
// now move directory filters to separate array:
foreach ($aFilter as $i=>$filter) // for each directory filter...
if (($pos=stripos(" $filter","d")) && $pos<3) { // next line eliminates the 'd'
$adFilter[] = substr($filter,0,$pos-1) . substr($filter,$pos);
unset($aFilter[$i]); }
$aFilter = array_merge($aFilter); // reset indeces
$aRes = array(); // results, $aAcc is an Accumulator
$aDir = array($path); // dirs to check
for ($i=$levels>0?$levels++:-1;($aAcc=array())||$i--&&$aDir;$aDir=$aAcc)
while ($dir = array_shift($aDir))
foreach (scandir ($dir) as $fileOrDir)
if ($fileOrDir!="." && $fileOrDir!="..") {
if ($dirP = is_dir ($rp="$dir$dS$fileOrDir"))
if (pathFilter("$rp$dS", $adFilter))
$aAcc[] = $rp;
if ($i<$levels-1 && ($types & (2-$dirP)))
if (pathFilter($rp, $aFilter))
$aRes[] = ($dirP?"*":"") . $rp; }
return $aRes;
}
?>
example usage:
<?php
define ("_", NULL);
// this will find all non .jpg, non .Thumbs.db files under c:\Photo
$aFiles = dirList('c:\Photo', _, 0, '-/\.jpg$/i', '-/\\\\Thumbs.db$/');
$aFiles = dirList(); // find the files in the current directory
// next lines will find .jpg files in non Photo(s) subdirectories, excluding Temporary Internet Files
set_time_limit(60); // iterating from the top level can take a while
$aFiles = dirList("c:\\", _, 0, '/\.jpg$/i', '-d/\\\\Photos?$/i', '-d/Temporary Internet/i');
?>
Note that this function will consume a lot of time if scanning large
directory structures (which is the reason for the '[-]d/.../' filters).
Csaba Gabor from ViennaFor directory containing files like (for example) -.jpg the results of scandir are a little "weird" ;)
<?php
$dir = '/somedir';
$files = scandir($dir);
print_r($files);
?>
Array
(
[0] => -.jpg
[1] => .
[2] => ..
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)
Beware - sorting is in ASCII order :)scandir() with regexp matching on file name and sorting options based on stat().
<?php
function myscandir($dir, $exp, $how='name', $desc=0)
{
$r = array();
$dh = @opendir($dir);
if ($dh) {
while (($fname = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (preg_match($exp, $fname)) {
$stat = stat("$dir/$fname");
$r[$fname] = ($how == 'name')? $fname: $stat[$how];
}
}
closedir($dh);
if ($desc) {
arsort($r);
}
else {
asort($r);
}
}
return(array_keys($r));
}
$r = myscandir('./book/', '/^article[0-9]{4}\.txt$/i', 'ctime', 1);
print_r($r);
?>
files can be sorted on name and stat() attributes, ascending and descending:
name file name
dev device number
ino inode number
mode inode protection mode
nlink number of links
uid userid of owner
gid groupid of owner
rdev device type, if inode device *
size size in bytes
atime time of last access (Unix timestamp)
mtime time of last modification (Unix timestamp)
ctime time of last inode change (Unix timestamp)
blksize blocksize of filesystem IO *
blocks number of blocks allocatedThis is a simple and versatile function that returns an array tree of files, matching wildcards:
<?php
// List files in tree, matching wildcards * and ?
function tree($path){
static $match;
// Find the real directory part of the path, and set the match parameter
$last=strrpos($path,"/");
if(!is_dir($path)){
$match=substr($path,$last);
while(!is_dir($path=substr($path,0,$last)) && $last!==false)
$last=strrpos($path,"/",-1);
}
if(empty($match)) $match="/*";
if(!$path=realpath($path)) return;
// List files
foreach(glob($path.$match) as $file){
$list[]=substr($file,strrpos($file,"/")+1);
}
// Process sub directories
foreach(glob("$path/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $dir){
$list[substr($dir,strrpos($dir,"/",-1)+1)]=tree($dir);
}
return @$list;
}

)Unless you specify no sorting, file names are sorted in ASCII alphabetic order, meaning numbers first, then uppercase, then lowercase letters, even on operating systems whose file system ignores the case of file names when it does its own sorting.
For example, on Mac OS, the following files will appear in this order in the Finder, when your disk is formated using the standard file system:
1file.php
a.inc
B.txt
c.txt
However, scandir will produce an array in the following order:
1file.php
B.txt
a.inc
c.txt<?php
