Use the following function to list the contents of one or more nested directories.
function recursive_directory($dirname,$maxdepth=10, $depth=0){
if ($depth >= $maxdepth) {
return false;
}
$subdirectories = array();
$files = array();
if (is_dir($dirname) && is_readable($dirname)) {
$d = dir($dirname);
while (false !== ($f = $d->read())) {
$file = $d->path.'/'.$f;
// skip . and ..
if (('.'==$f) || ('..'==$f)) {
continue;
};
if (is_dir($dirname.'/'.$f)) {
array_push($subdirectories,$dirname.'/'.$f);
} else {
array_push($files,$dirname.'/'.$f);
};
};
$d->close();
foreach ($subdirectories as $subdirectory) {
$files = array_merge($files, recursive_directory($subdirectory, $maxdepth, $depth+1));
};
}
return $files;
}Use this in the following way.
$files = recursive_directory('folder');
print_r($files); // print the result...The maximum depth that the function will travel down is set to 10 as a default. This can be overwritten at runtime.
$files = recursive_directory('folder', 20); // make maximum level 20
print_r($files); // print the result...
