List All Files in One Directory PHP

List all files in one directory PHP

Check this out : readdir()

This bit of code should list all entries in a certain directory:

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {

    while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {

        if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {

            echo "$entry\n";
        }
    }

    closedir($handle);
}

Edit: miah's solution is much more elegant than mine, you should use his solution instead.

List all the files and folders in a Directory with PHP recursive function

Get all the files and folders in a directory, don't call function when you have . or ...

Your code :

<?php
function getDirContents($dir, &$results = array()) {
    $files = scandir($dir);

    foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
        $path = realpath($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value);
        if (!is_dir($path)) {
            $results[] = $path;
        } else if ($value != "." && $value != "..") {
            getDirContents($path, $results);
            $results[] = $path;
        }
    }

    return $results;
}

var_dump(getDirContents('/xampp/htdocs/WORK'));

Output (example) :

array (size=12)
  0 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/iframe.html' (length=30)
  1 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/index.html' (length=29)
  2 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js' (length=21)
  3 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js/btwn.js' (length=29)
  4 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js/qunit' (length=27)
  5 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js/qunit/qunit.css' (length=37)
  6 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js/qunit/qunit.js' (length=36)
  7 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/js/unit-test.js' (length=34)
  8 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/xxxxx.js' (length=30)
  9 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/plane.png' (length=28)
  10 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/qunit.html' (length=29)
  11 => string '/xampp/htdocs/WORK/styles.less' (length=30)

Getting the names of all files in a directory with PHP

Don't bother with open/readdir and use glob instead:

foreach(glob($log_directory.'/*.*') as $file) {
    ...
}

List all files in one directory PHP in order based on modification or creation time

Try this:

function listdir_by_date($pathtosearch)
{
    foreach (glob($pathtosearch) as $filename)
    {          
    $file_array[filectime($filename)]=basename($filename);
    }
ksort($file_array);
return $file_array;
}

and use it like this:

$file = '*';
$dir = '/path/to/wherever/'; 
$sorted_array = listdir_by_date($dir.$file);

How to list files and folder in a dir (PHP)

PHP 5 has the RecursiveDirectoryIterator.

The manual has a basic example:

<?php

$directory = '/system/infomation/';

$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory));

while($it->valid()) {

    if (!$it->isDot()) {

        echo 'SubPathName: ' . $it->getSubPathName() . "\n";
        echo 'SubPath:     ' . $it->getSubPath() . "\n";
        echo 'Key:         ' . $it->key() . "\n\n";
    }

    $it->next();
}

?>

Edit -- Here's a slightly more advanced example (only slightly) which produces output similar to what you want (i.e. folder names then files).

// Create recursive dir iterator which skips dot folders
$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('./system/information',
    FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);

// Flatten the recursive iterator, folders come before their files
$it  = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir,
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

// Maximum depth is 1 level deeper than the base folder
$it->setMaxDepth(1);

// Basic loop displaying different messages based on file or folder
foreach ($it as $fileinfo) {
    if ($fileinfo->isDir()) {
        printf("Folder - %s\n", $fileinfo->getFilename());
    } elseif ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
        printf("File From %s - %s\n", $it->getSubPath(), $fileinfo->getFilename());
    }
}

PHP list of specific files in a directory

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
    {
        if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && strtolower(substr($file, strrpos($file, '.') + 1)) == 'xml')
        {
            $thelist .= '<li><a href="'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a></li>';
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

A simple way to look at the extension using substr and strrpos

PHP list all files in directory

foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('.')) as $filename)
{
    // filter out "." and ".."
    if ($filename->isDir()) continue;

    echo "$filename\n";
}

How to list directories, sub-directories and all files in php

Use scandir to see all stuff in the directory and is_file to check if the item is file or next directory, if it is directory, repeat the same thing over and over.

So, this is completely new code.

function listIt($path) {
$items = scandir($path);

foreach($items as $item) {

    // Ignore the . and .. folders
    if($item != "." AND $item != "..") {
        if (is_file($path . $item)) {
            // this is the file
            echo "-> " . $item . "<br>";
        } else {
            // this is the directory

            // do the list it again!
            echo "---> " . $item;
            echo "<div style='padding-left: 10px'>";
            listIt($path . $item . "/");
            echo "</div>";
        }
    }
  }
}

echo "<div style='padding-left: 10px'>";
listIt("/");
echo "</div>";

You can see the live demo here in my webserver, btw, I will keep this link just for a second

When you see the "->" it's an file and "-->" is a directory

The pure code with no HTML:

function listIt($path) {
$items = scandir($path);

foreach($items as $item) {
    // Ignore the . and .. folders
    if($item != "." AND $item != "..") {
        if (is_file($path . $item)) {
            // this is the file
            // Code for file
        } else {
            // this is the directory
            // do the list it again!
            // Code for directory
            listIt($path . $item . "/");
        }
    }
  }
}

listIt("/");

the demo can take a while to load, it's a lot of items.

get all file names from a directory in php

I will go ahead and post a sample of code I am currently using, with a few changes, although I would normally tell you to look it up on google and try it first.

if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        echo $file;
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

This will display the entire contents of a directory... including: ".", "..", any sub-directories, and any hidden files. I am sure you can figure out a way to hide those if it is not desirable.

PHP: How to list files in a directory without listing subdirectories

It should be like this, I think:

$files = scandir($dir); 
foreach($files as $file)
{
    if(is_file($dir.$file)){
      ....
