如何从PHP中的某个目录中捕获文件或目录

I am trying to catch (echo) a file or directory from a certain directory.

I want to bind it to a variable.

No i am experiencing with realpath and he gives me the exact file location but from the server.

echo realpath($dir.'/'.$file);

So my echo shows me this: /home/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/develop3/httpdocs/uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/Jellyfish.jpg or /home/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/develop3/httpdocs/uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/nameofdirectory

it should be this:

uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/Jellyfish.jpg and uploads/sfm/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/nameofdirectory

How can i achieve that?

I'm not sure of what you really need and what is the value of $dir, but you can use:

$fullPath = realpath($dir.'/'.$file);
$relativePath = preg_replace('%/home.*httpdocs/%i', '', $fullPath);
