nested arrays of the directory structure

[Anon]

I am creating a web page which allows you to select a daily report to view. The reports are stored in a directory structure like this:

/year/month/day.xls

First the user must select the year from a drop-down box, then the month, thn the available reports for that month will be in the next drop-down box. This will be done with JavaScript and is not the issue.

The Problem i am having is filling nested arrays with the directory contents in PHP. It sounds like a simple task when you first look at it, but i am not a very experienced programmer and help from anyone who has done something like this before, or an example of how they did it would be excellent. Thanks in advance, Nic

Just in case anyone was wondering, i figured this one out:

---

$arr_structure = getStructure("e:/tlintranet/stats/contentroot");

function getStructure($dir_string) {

$ret_array = array();		//Array to be returned

$dir = dir($dir_string);		//Directory Handle
$dir->rewind();

while($dir_content=$dir->read()) {
	if(is_dir($dir->path . "/" . $dir_content) && $dir_content != "." && $dir_content != "..") {	//If it is a directory 
		$ret_array["$dir_content"] = getStructure($dir_string . "/" . $dir_content);								//get an array of its contents
	}
	if(is_file($dir->path . "/" . $dir_content)) {
		$ret_array["$dir_content"] = $dir_content;
	}
}
return $ret_array;

}

print_r($arr_structure);
