I want to use the RecursiveDirectoryIterator to list files and directories recursively. Below is my code.
$rii = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(".", RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS));
foreach ($rii as $file){
if ($file->isDir()) {
echo "D ".$file->getPathName();
} else {
echo "F ".$file->getPathName();
}
echo "<br>\n";
}
The problem is that it does not return directories at all. Only files are listed. When I omit the SKIP_DOTS flag, I do get directories but in the form ofdir/.
anddir/..
which is obviously not what I want.
Now I could of course strip the trailing dots myself, but I wonder if there's a better builtin method I'm not aware of?
$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('.', RecursiveDirectoryIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME | RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST) as $file => $info) {
echo $file."\n";
}
Example files/directory structure
.
|-- a
| `-- x
| |-- hbye.txt
| `-- hello.txt
|-- b
| `-- a
`-- script.php
4 directories, 3 files
Script output:
./a
./a/x
./a/x/hbye.txt
./a/x/hello.txt
./script.php
./b
./b/a
