Available Functions
directory_map($source_dir[, $directory_depth = 0[, $hidden = FALSE]])
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $source_dir | String |
Path to the source directory |
| $directory_depth | Int |
Depth of directories to traverse (0 = fully recursive, 1 = current dir, etc) |
| $hidden | Bool |
Whether to include hidden directories |
| Returns | Array |
An array of files |
Examples:
$map = directory_map('./mydirectory/');
Note: Paths are almost always relative to your main index.php file.
Sub-folders contained within the directory will be mapped as well. If you wish to control the recursion depth, you can do so using the second parameter (integer). A depth of 1 will only map the top level directory:
$map = directory_map('./mydirectory/', 1);
By default, hidden files will not be included in the returned array. To override this behavior, you may set a third parameter to true (boolean):
$map = directory_map('./mydirectory/', FALSE, TRUE);
Each folder name will be an array index, while its contained files will be numerically indexed. Here is an example of a typical array:
Array (
[libraries] => Array
(
[0] => benchmark.html
[1] => config.html
["database/"] => Array
(
[0] => query_builder.html
[1] => binds.html
[2] => configuration.html
[3] => connecting.html
[4] => examples.html
[5] => fields.html
[6] => index.html
[7] => queries.html
)
[2] => email.html
[3] => file_uploading.html
[4] => image_lib.html
[5] => input.html
[6] => language.html
[7] => loader.html
[8] => pagination.html
[9] => uri.html
)
