recursive direcotry listing of all mp3s

[coops]

(Managed to post an uncomplete version first time 🙂

Hi,

I currently have a script that grabs the ID3 tags from a directory of mp3s, and writes them to a MySQL database. This works great.
But how do I get it to do it for all subdirectories aswell?

essentially i'm currently using:

$handle = opendir('.');
while ($FilenameToScan = readdir($handle)) {
if (ereg(".mp3$", $FilenameToScan)) {

// get id3 info and write to database code here

}
}

Thanks,

Coops

You can use recursion. Put that loop into a function, and then inside the loop, use is_dir() to check if the current reading file is a directory. If it is, then call your function again.

this might help

<?
function getDirList ($dirName) { 
$d = dir($dirName); 
while($entry = $d->read()) { 
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "index.php") { 
if (is_dir($dirName."/".$entry)) { 
//do somting here

} else { 
//Do somthing here (Error?!?!)

} 
} 
} 
$d->close(); 
}
getDirList("/usr/local/bin"); 
?>

sorry if its a bit messy I just ripped it out of one of my old scripts
