[Resolved] Loading a list of directories into an array

[Dzordz]

Dont even have an idea tried a couple of things but no luck

I want to extract the names of all the directories for another directory into an array, similar to loading a file (tried it doesnt do the trick)

Help 🙂

[man]opendir[/man]
[man]readdir[/man]
[man]scandir[/man] (if you have PHP5)

Here's a function that I use to recursively list all directories and subdirectories under a given directory:

function dirTree( &$dirArray,$baseDir) { 
    if ($handle = opendir($baseDir)) {
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
	    $dotPos=strpos($file,'.');  //checks if first character of file is a dot (.)
	    if ( ($dotPos > 0) || ($dotPos === false)) {
		$path=$baseDir."/".$file;
		if (is_dir($path) ) {  //checks to see if file is a directory
		    $dirArray[]=$path;
		    dirTree($dirArray,$path);  //recursively checks all subdirectories
		}
	    }
	}	
    }
    closedir($handle);
    return;
}

To use it, define some empty array and call the function, such as

$path="/path/you/want/to/list";
$dirs=array();
dirTree($dirs,$path);

The $dirs array will have the directory names for all subdirectories in the path.
Hope this helps.
