(PHP 5, PHP 7)
The DirectoryIterator class provides a simple interface for viewing the contents of filesystem directories.
DirectoryIterator is just an lightweight SplFileInfo iterator and its methods operate on whatever item the internal cursor points to. In other words:
<?php
$iterator = new DirectoryIterator('C:\\');
echo $iterator->getPathname();
?>
... will NOT print "C:\" but the path of the first file or subdirectory retrieved, e.g. "C:\$Recycle.Bin".
Shows us recursively all files and catalogues in directory except "." and "..".
<?php
/**
* @param string $directory
* @param array $files
* @return array
*/
public function recursiveDirectoryIterator ($directory = null, $files = array()) {
$iterator = new \DirectoryIterator ( $directory );
foreach ( $iterator as $info ) {
if ($info->isFile ()) {
$files [$info->__toString ()] = $info;
} elseif (!$info->isDot ()) {
$list = array($info->__toString () => $this->recursiveDirectoryIterator(
$directory.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$info->__toString ()
));
if(!empty($files))
$files = array_merge_recursive($files, $filest);
else {
$files = $list;
}
}
}
return $files;
}
?>
Beware of the behavior when using FilesystemIterator::UNIX_PATHS, it's not applied as you might expect.
I guess this flag is added especially for use on windows.
However, the path you construct the RecursiveDirectoryIterator or FilesystemIterator with will not be available as a unix path.
I can't say this is a bug, since most methods are just purely inherited from DirectoryIterator.
In my test, I'd expected a complete unix path. Unfortunately... not quite as expected:
<?php
// say $folder = C:\projects\lang
$flags = FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME | FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO | FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS | FilesystemIterator::UNIX_PATHS;
$d_iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($folder, $flags);
echo $d_iterator->getPath();
?>
expected result: /projects/lang (or C:/projects/lang)
actual result: C:\projects\lang
Deleting all files in a directory except the one which is last modified.
<?php
$directory = dirname(__FILE__)."/demo";
$filenames = array();
$iterator = new DirectoryIterator($directory);
foreach ($iterator as $fileinfo) {
if ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
$filenames[$fileinfo->getMTime()] = $fileinfo->getFilename();
}
}
ksort($filenames);
print_r($filenames);
echo "\n";
$i=0;
if(sizeof($filenames)>1){
foreach ($filenames as $file){
if($i>0){
echo $file."\n";
unlink($directory."/".$file);
}
$i++;
}
}
?>
Shows us all files and catalogues in directory except "." and "..".
<?php
foreach (new DirectoryIterator('../moodle') as $fileInfo) {
if($fileInfo->isDot()) continue;
echo $fileInfo->getFilename() . "<br>\n";
}
?>
DirectoryIterator::getBasename() has been also been available since 5.2.2, according to the changelog (not documented yet). It takes a parameter $suffix, and is useful if, for instance, you use a naming convention for your files (e.g. ClassName.php).
The following code uses this to add recursively All*Tests.php in any subdirectory off of tests/, basically, suites of suites.
<?php
// PHPUnit boilerplate code goes here
class AllTests {
public static function main() {
$parameters = array('verbose' => true);
PHPUnit_TextUI_TestRunner::run(self::suite(), $parameters);
}
public static function suite() {
$suite = new PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite('AllMyTests'); // this must be something different than the class name, per PHPUnit
$it = new AllTestsFilterIterator(
new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(dirname(__FILE__) . '/tests')));
for ($it->rewind(); $it->valid(); $it->next()) {
require_once($it->current());
$className = $it->current()->getBasename('.php');
$suite->addTest($className::suite());
}
return $suite;
}
}
?>
Also, the AllTestsFilterIterator above extends FilterIterator, and contains one method, accept():
<?php
class AllTestsFilterIterator extends FilterIterator {
public function accept() {
if (preg_match('/All.*Tests\.php/', $this->current())) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
?>
Implements Iterator so you can foreach() over the content of the given directory
