DirectoryIterator
I need to traverse recursively through a directory tree and get all sub-directory paths and has written a snippet to do that.
<?php
$path = "D:\webroot\phpvietnamcms";
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME), RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST) as $file => $info) {
if ($info->isDir())
{
echo $file."<br />";
}
}
?>

I needed to match in directory tree file name(s) by regular expression. Code is based on Marcus Börger class DirectoryTreeIterator http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/spl/examples/ and on examples given in his lecture Introduction to object oriented PHP at PHP Quebec conference 2007 http://talks.somabo.de/
<?php
class KeyFilter extends FilterIterator
{
private $_rx;
function __construct(Iterator $it, $regex)
{
parent::__construct($it);
$this->_rx= $regex;
}
function accept()
{
return ereg($this->_rx,$this->getInnerIterator()->key());
}
protected function __clone() {
return false;
}
}
class DirMach extends KeyFilter
{
function __construct($path , $regex)
{
parent::__construct(
new DirectoryTreeIterator($path), $regex);
}
function current()
{
return parent::key();
}
function key()
{
return parent::key();
}
}
class DirectoryTreeIterator extends RecursiveIteratorIterator
{
/** Construct from a path.
* @param $path directory to iterate
*/
function __construct($path)
{
try {
parent::__construct(
new RecursiveCachingIterator(
new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::KEY_AS_FILENAME
),
CachingIterator::CALL_TOSTRING|CachingIterator::CATCH_GET_CHILD
),
parent::SELF_FIRST
);
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
}
/** @return the current element prefixed with ASCII graphics
*/
function current()
{
if ($this->hasChildren())
$this->next();
return $this->key();
}
/** Aggregates the inner iterator
*/
function __call($func, $params)
{
return call_user_func_array(array($this->getSubIterator(), $func), $params);
}
}
$PathToSearch = 'path_to_search';
$regex = 'regular_expression';
$FileList = new DirMach($PathToSearch, $regex);
foreach ($FileList as $file) {
$match[] = $file;
}
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($match);
echo '</pre>';

The use of this class is rather simple
<?php
$dataDir = dirname(__FILE__).'/world_vest_base/';
try
{
$dir = new DirectoryIterator($dataDir);
foreach ($dir as $file)
{
$fileName = $file->getFilename();
}
}
catch (Exception $ex)
{
}
?>
If $dataDir is null, a Runtime Exception will throws a message like this: Directory name must not be empty.
If $dataDir does not exist, that message will look like this: failed to open dir: No such file or directory.
Please be careful in case you are looking for filenames in that directory because DirectoryIterator will return a very special symbolic filenames: . and .. You must do a check to ignore them before dealing with real file names.
$dir is a DirectoryIterator object

The documentation for DirectoryIterator is sparse. I found this nice overview:
http://www.jellyandcustard.com/2006/05/18
/using-directoryiterator-to-list-files-in-php
(The above is one line, but I'm not allowed to post it like that)

In response to the comment below from udvig. The Example ist wrong, here is the right one:
<?php
$dir = new DirectoryIterator("/tmp");
foreach ($dir as $file) {
if ($file->isDot()) {
continue;
}
echo $file->getFilename() . "\n";
}
?>

In response to the comment below, you don't have to simulate a foreach(), DirectoryIterator obviously inherits SPL's Iterator interface, therefore:
<?php
$dir = new DirectoryIterator("/tmp");
foreach ($dir as $file) {
if ($dir->isDot()) {
continue;
}
echo $file . "\n";
}

We can now replace the old fashioned way of listing the content from a directory!
the old way:
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('/home/fernando/temp')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
print "$file <br />";
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
the new way:
<?php
$dir = new DirectoryIterator('/home/fernando/temp');
while($dir->valid()) {
if(!$dir->isDot()) {
print $dir->current()."<br />";
}
$dir->next();
}
?>

I wrote a function for finding all files in the current and in subdirectories.
The Code:
<?php
function getFiles(&$rdi,$depth=0) {
if (!is_object($rdi))
return;
for ($rdi->rewind();$rdi->valid();$rdi->next()) {
if ($rdi->isDot())
continue;
if ($rdi->isDir() || $rdi->isFile()) {
for ($i = 0; $i<=$depth;++$i)
echo ' ';
echo $rdi->current().'<br />';
if ($rdi->hasChildren())
getFiles($rdi->getChildren(),1+$depth);
}
}
}
getFiles(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('.'));
?>
