ParentIterator is just a RecursiveFilterIterator whos accept() method calls the RecursiveFilterIterator->hasChildren() method to filter itself.

Basically, it filters out leaf nodes. For example

This 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);
?>
