I have this simple below code to help me get the contents of all files and sub folder. I took this code from the PHP cook book. it says that I can use the isDot() but it doesn't explain how to ..
I tried to put a if just before array but it doesn't work...
if (! $file->isDot())
I don't know how to put both getPathname and isDot when adding to the array.
I've read the PHP net website but don't understand how to fit in.
code:
$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/usr/local');
$dircontent = array();
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir) as $file) {
$dircontent [] = $file -> getPathname();
}
print_r($dircontent);
Use the FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS
flag in your RecursiveDirectoryIterator
to get rid of dot files:
$dir = '/usr/local';
$result = array();
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(
$dir,
FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS
)
);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$result[] = $file->getPathname();
}
print_r($result);
The reason isDot()
is failing is that your $file
variable holds a SplFileInfo
object, not a DirectoryIterator
.
