Folder List

[peterg012]

Hi,

Could anybody help me out with some code on how to list all the folders in a directory?

Thanks!! :o

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/path/to/directory';
$dh = dir($dir);
while(false !== ($entry = $dh->read())) {
  if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..') {
    if(is_dir($dir.'/'.$entry))
      echo $entry.' is a folder.<br>';
  }
}

That should do it....

Thanks. Do you have a more simple version? I am battling to understand the above one.

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/path/to/directory'; //location of directory you wish to list subdirectories of
$dh = dir($dir); // reads the directory into the directory class (More info at [url]http://uk.php.net/manual/en/class.dir.php[/url])
while(false !== ($entry = $dh->read())) { //cycles through the directory contents one at a time and stores the current entry into $entry
  if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..') { //discards . (the current directory) and .. (the parent directory)
    if(is_dir($dir.'/'.$entry)) // checks to see if the current entry is a folder
      echo $entry.' is a folder.<br>'; //prints out that it is a folder
  }
} 

You're not going to get much simpler

This is about as simple as it gets:

$directories = glob('*', GLOB_ONLYDIR);

You can now do a foreach loop on $directories to list them, or whatever else it is you want to do with them.
