List of folders and subfolders

[jarosciak]

I hope someone can help me...
I spent last 3 days trying to figure out this thing. This is scenario:

Lets say I'll set directory to : "albums".

In albums directory are some folders and in each of those some subfolders.

I need to fetch all folders and subfolders of predefined directory and create list which will look like this:

albums/
albums/folder1/
albums/folder2/
albums/folder3/
albums/folder4/
albums/folder1/folder1/
albums/folder1/folder2/
...etc...

Please help me with this one 'cause I am dying for an answer and tried all possible.

This is the code I am using right now.
But that will find only first directories and not their subfolders. I am saving results to mysql.

// Find all folders in "albums" directory

$d = dir("albums/");
while($entry=$d->read()) {

  $lowletname = strtolower(substr($entry,-4,1));
  $lowletnameb = strtolower(substr($entry,-3,1));
  if (($lowletname <> ".") & ($lowletnameb <> "."))

{
echo "<br>$entry";
$sql7 = "INSERT INTO jj_folders (jj_foldpath) VALUES ('$entry')";
if(!$result7 = mysql_query($sql7, $db))
{
error_die("Could not enter post text!<br>Reason:".mysql_error());
}
}
}
$d->close();
?>

Plese help !!!

Thanx a lot...

Have you looked at the directory and file functions on PHP.net? It doesn't seem like this one should be so hard. The code should do this:
It should be a function that takes a string representing the name of a directory as the only arg.
It should read all the files of the directory. Using the is_dir() function, it should echo the name of the files if they are directories. Then, the function should call itself with the name of each newly found directory in the directory you started with. This recursive funtion will do what you need.
If you need help just email me and I will show you the code.

Hi...
thanx for quick answer I was there waiting for someone to reply...
Please could you give me the code you mentioned.

I searched for this kind of functions on php.net and found something... but I don't know how to use it, because it just didn't wok... I am not that good at php.

I need it badly. Please email me the code if you could. I am in desperate need of this and really can't figure it out...
Thanks a lot.
Jozef

Is there anyone else who's got any idea how to go about this problem?

Could someone try my code and change it the way it will produce the list of all folders and subfolders in defined directory?

Pls.
