A classe ParentIterator

ParentIterator is just a RecursiveFilterIterator whos accept() method calls the RecursiveFilterIterator->hasChildren() method to filter itself.Basically, it filters out leaf nodes. For exampleThis would yield all files and directories<?php$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__);$iter = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi, RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);?>wrapping that in a ParentIterator would filter it down to just directories<?php$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__);$iter = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi, RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);$dirsOnly = new ParentIterator($iter);?>

Easy example for understanding:<?php$iterator = new ParentIterator(    new RecursiveArrayIterator(        array(array(1, 2, 3), 'A', 'B', 'C')    ));foreach ($iterator as $recursive) {    foreach ($recursive as $value) {        echo $value . PHP_EOL;    }}?>123
