Read files and folders recursively

[MarkoKlacar]

Hi,

Is there a way to recursively select folders and upload the files in the current, so to speak, folder?

I know that there exists a possibility to upload a file in the same folder that the php script is executed, what I'm really looking for is a way to loop through all the folders.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's possible with glob() function :

glob() is not recursive. It is easier and a lot faster to use opendir() and readdir().

Yes it is. I've meant that it is much easier to use glob() function to get folder's tree instead of odendir+readdir . Of course, you should write a function which will be able to scan folders. I'll post here my own written function for it, if ill find it :)

Here it is:

[PHP]
function ShowTree($paren t_dir) {
//node counter
static $i = 0;
$i++;

$dirs = glob($parent_di r . '/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR);
$cnt = count($dirs);

if ($cnt > 0) {
print("<ul>");

foreach ($dirs as $dir) {
// strip ../
print substr($dir, 3, strlen($dir));
ShowTree($dir);
}

print("</ul>");
}
}
[/PHP]

Note: i've just strip a lot of unnecessary code so function may not work (can't test it at the moment). But the main idea is clear, i hope.
