(PHP 4, PHP 5)
opendir — 打开目录句柄
$path
[, resource $context
] )打开一个目录句柄，可用于之后的 closedir()， readdir() 和 rewinddir() 调用中。
如果成功则返回目录句柄的 resource，失败则返回 FALSE。
如果 path
不是一个合法的目录或者因为权限限制或文件系统错误而不能打开目录， opendir()
返回 FALSE 并产生一个 E_WARNING
级别的 PHP 错误信息。可以在 opendir()
前面加上“@”符号来抑制错误信息的输出。
| 版本 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 5.0.0 |
path 支持 ftp://
URL wrapper
|
| 4.3.0 |
path 可以是任何支持目录列表的
URL，不过在 PHP 4 中只有 file://
URL wrapper 支持此功能
|
Example #1 opendir() 例子
<?php
$dir = "/etc/php5/";
// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
?>
以上例程的输出类似于：
filename: . : filetype: dir filename: .. : filetype: dir filename: apache : filetype: dir filename: cgi : filetype: dir filename: cli : filetype: dir

If you search for a comfortable way to include javascript code from other javascript code, here is a useful tool based on opendir():
<?php
class JSIncluder {
private static $included = array();
private static function ext($filename) {
return pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
}
public static function includeFile($file) {
if (isset(JSIncluder::$included[$file]))
return;
JSIncluder::$included[$file] = true;
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
preg_match_all('/\/\*include:([^*]+)\*\//', $contents, $deps);
foreach ($deps[1] as $dep) {
if (is_file($dep)) {
JSIncluder::includeFile($dep);
} else
JSIncluder::includeAll($dep);
}
echo '<script type="text/javascript">' . $file . '</script>' . PHP_EOL;
}
private static function includeAll($dir) {
if (($handle = opendir($dir))) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
clearstatcache();
if (is_file($dir . '/' . $file)) {
if (JSIncluder::ext($file) == 'js') {
JSIncluder::includeFile($dir . '/' . $file);
}
} elseif ($file != '..' && $file != '.')
JSIncluder::includeAll($dir . '/' . $file);
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
}
?>
Now, you can just write <?php JSIncluder::includeFile('path/to/script/main.js') ?> in your <head> section and then you can include files directly from your javascript files by typing /*include:path/to/other/script/foo.js*/ anywhere! For example:
/*include:scripts/lib*/ //it will include the whole lib dir and its subdirectories
/*include:scripts/helloworld.js*/ //it will include only one file
$(function() {
$(body).html('Hello world!');
});
and in your html code:
<head>
<?php JSIncluder::includeFile('scripts/main.js') ?>
</head>
The JSIncluder should be safe, because all the work is done server-side and clients just can't affect anything. They could write /*include:/foo/bar*/ but nothing will happen, because the code does nothing but automatically generates <script> tags in specific order in your <head> section.
Feel free to modify my code. I believe that it will be useful!

Hopefully this helps someone else. Returns a list of all the files in the directory and any subdirectories.
Excludes files/folders that are in the $exempt array. Can modifiy it so files aren't passed by reference fairly easily.
<?php
function getFiles($directory,$exempt = array('.','..','.ds_store','.svn'),&$files = array()) {
$handle = opendir($directory);
while(false !== ($resource = readdir($handle))) {
if(!in_array(strtolower($resource),$exempt)) {
if(is_dir($directory.$resource.'/'))
array_merge($files,
self::getFiles($directory.$resource.'/',$exempt,$files));
else
$files[] = $directory.$resource;
}
}
closedir($handle);
return $files;
}

If you want to iterate through a directory, have a look at the SPL DirectoryIterator:
http://php.net/manual/class.directoryiterator.php
Madog Llwyd (2009-05-09 17:22:07)
A simple piece to open a directory and display any files with a given extension. Great for things like newsletters, score sheets or the like where you just want to make it easy on the user - they just dump in the file with the correct extension and it's done. A link is given to the file which opens up in a new window.
<?php
$current_dir = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT"."dirname/"; //Put in second part, the directory - without a leading slash but with a trailing slash!
$dir = opendir($current_dir); // Open the sucker
echo ("<p><h1>List of available files:</h1></p><hr><br />");
while ($file = readdir($dir)) // while loop
{
$parts = explode(".", $file); // pull apart the name and dissect by period
if (is_array($parts) && count($parts) > 1) { // does the dissected array have more than one part
$extension = end($parts); // set to we can see last file extension
if ($extension == "ext" OR $extension == "EXT") // is extension ext or EXT ?
echo "<a href=\"$file\" target=\"_blank\"> $file </a><br />"; // If so, echo it out else do nothing cos it's not what we want
}
}
echo "<hr><br />";
closedir($dir); // Close the directory after we are done

A couple of notes on Matt's posts on Windows Network Drives:
Since the system() command writes the output of the executed shell command straight to the output buffer, if you wish to hide the return of the mapping command (i.e. "The command completed succesfully" or an error message) from a web browser, you need to alter the command that is sent to the shell so that the output of that command is hidden.
You probably thinking "why not just use exec()?", and it's a reasonable question, but for some reason it doesn't always work - I guess it's another NT user permissions issue. If you want to guarantee you app will work with no messing around on the host system, use the system() command.
In the Windows command shell, you can hide the output of a command by sending both the output (1) and error (2) messages to "nul" using pipes, in other words ">nul 2>&1" on the end of the command. The username and password order in the "net use..." command needs switching in Matt's post.
Here (http://networkm.co.uk/static/drive.html) is a function I wrote to dynamically choose which drive letter to use, based on what is currently mapped and accessible to PHP.
<?php
// Define the parameters for the shell command
$location = "\\servername\sharename";
$user = "USERNAME";
$pass = "PASSWORD";
$letter = "Z";
// Map the drive
system("net use ".$letter.": \"".$location."\" ".$pass." /user:".$user." /persistent:no>nul 2>&1");
// Open the directory
$dir = opendir($letter.":/an/example/path")
...

Simple way to read all regular files in a directory. (Excluding contained directories, symbolic links.. etc.)
<?php
$dir = "../files";
if($handle = opendir($dir))
{
while($file = readdir($handle))
{
clearstatcache();
if(is_file($dir.'/'.$file))
echo $file;
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

The easiest way to get a dir listing and sort it is to exec() out to ls (eg:'ls -t'). But, that is considered "unsafe". My hosting company finally caught me doing it so here is my fastest solution. (Lucky for me each file is created with a Unix Timestamp at the end of the name and no other numbers in it.)
<?php
#exec('ls -t ./images/motion_detection/', $files); # They outlawed exec, so now I have to do it by hand.
if ($handle = opendir('./images/motion_detection/')) {
$files=array();
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$files[$file] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $file); # Timestamps may not be unique, file names are.
}
closedir($handle);
arsort($files);
$files=array_keys($files);
}
?>

I tried it as in the post before described, but it still won't work. Maybe cause i'm using an Apache-Server on Windows 2003 Server.
Now, i found a way that it works and i got access to the share. First of all, you need to set the run user for Apache to a user that has access to the share (see in post before).
Then map your drive in the php script before you read the dir:
system('net use K: \\servername\sharename /user:username password /persistent:no');
$share = opendir('\\\\servername\\sharename');
....
Post from everything2 dot com (2008-12-06 11:54:04)
when you run Apache as a service on your Windows computer, it chooses to run as the LocalSystem account by default (usually SYSTEM). The LocalSystem account has no network privileges whatsoever which, while no doubt a good thing, makes it impossible to access networked resources (such as a shared drive) in your Apache service.
First, you have to change the user the Apache service runs as.
Go to your Services panel (Start -> Run -> "services.msc").
Find the Service labeled Apache, right-click, and hit Properties.
Choose the "Log On" tab.
Presumably you'll see that Apache is set up to run as the Local System Account. You'll want to change this to the second option, "This account", and then fill in the details of the User account you would like Apache to run under.
Some sites tell you to create a special Apache-based user account just for this occasion. It's not a bad idea, but then you have to make sure it has all of the proper permissions that an Apache user would need, such as read/write to to htdocs and the .conf and .log files, and permissions to log on as a service, etc etc - as well as the permissions to access the network resource you're trying to get to in the first place.
In light of that process, I chose to just run it under my own account instead. Once you get it working, you can go back and create that special account.
Hit "Apply" - it'll pop up a box saying you need to restart Apache to take effect, but hold off on that for a moment.
This is the tricky part: you have to give the user (the one you're running Apache as) permissions to act as part of the OS.
Go to the Local Security Policy panel (Start -> Run -> "secpol.msc").
Under the navigation section in the left sidebar, choose Local Policies -> User Rights Assignments.
In the right-hand frame, double-click the item "Act as part of the operating system" to open up its properties.
Select "Add User or Group, Enter the appropriate user in the box provided, and hit "OK."
At this point, you are technically complete - Apache can now do the same things to the network resource that your user can - read, write, execute, whatever. However, in my case, I was trying to create an actual readable resource, so I edited my Apache config file to create an alias to my share.
Open up your Apache configuration file. For most people it's httpd.conf in the conf subdirectory of your Apache install directory.
Add the following text to your config file (obviously substituting your UNC for "//servername/sharename" and renaming ALIAS_DIRECTORY to whatever you'd like):
Alias /ALIAS_DIRECTORY "//servername/sharename"
<Directory "//servername/sharename">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory
The other thing that is tricky and caught me up is that unlike Windows UNCs, the Apache config file requires forward slashes, not backslashes. So if you're copying the UNC directly from Windows, you'll have to turn all those slashes around.
Now you can restart your Apache service. Take a swing over to http://your.site.name/ALIAS_DIRECTORY and you should be able to view the network resource just fine.
php at uchange dot co dot uk (2008-12-05 09:36:45)
Having spent an hour or so trying to get a complete list of files from a network share on Windows, I've given up (Apache 2.2 Win32, WinXP, PHP5 -> Windows 2000 R2).
Trying to use a mapped drive letter gives me an error and trying to use the UNC path works but is dog slow (it takes a couple of minutes to open and readdir() a directory with a couple of hundred files).
Using this code is fast and instant (you'll have to chop up the output yourself but so be it!)
$out = `dir $dir /B /S`;
If you don't need recursive subdirectories remove the /S from the command - for more details run 'dir /?' on Windows.
Hope this helps somebody in a similar fix!

Here are two versions of the same function to list all files in a directory tree.
The first one is recursive (calls itself while going through subdirectories) :
<?php
function rec_listFiles( $from = '.')
{
if(! is_dir($from))
return false;
$files = array();
if( $dh = opendir($from))
{
while( false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
{
// Skip '.' and '..'
if( $file == '.' || $file == '..')
continue;
$path = $from . '/' . $file;
if( is_dir($path) )
$files += rec_listFiles($path);
else
$files[] = $path;
}
closedir($dh);
}
return $files;
}
?>
The second one is iterative (uses less memory) :
<?php
function listFiles( $from = '.')
{
if(! is_dir($from))
return false;
$files = array();
$dirs = array( $from);
while( NULL !== ($dir = array_pop( $dirs)))
{
if( $dh = opendir($dir))
{
while( false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
{
if( $file == '.' || $file == '..')
continue;
$path = $dir . '/' . $file;
if( is_dir($path))
$dirs[] = $path;
else
$files[] = $path;
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
return $files;
}
?>
The iterative version should be a little faster most of the time, but the big difference is in the memory usage.
Here is also a profiling function (works in php5 only) :
<?php
function profile( $func, $trydir)
{
$mem1 = memory_get_usage();
echo '<pre>-----------------------
Test run for '.$func.'() ...
'; flush();
$time_start = microtime(true);
$list = $func( $trydir);
$time = microtime(true) - $time_start;
echo 'Finished : '.count($list).' files</pre>';
$mem2 = memory_get_peak_usage();
printf( '<pre>Max memory for '.$func.'() : %0.2f kbytes
Running time for '.$func.'() : %0.f s</pre>',
($mem2-$mem1)/1024.0, $time);
return $list;
}

I was trying to access network drives using this opendir function. I read so many posts saying that it was almost impossible to access a network drive and finally, I found the answer; there are 2 steps to be followed to access a network drive with PHP either on the same machine or another machine.
But first of all, here's the error I was getting:
Warning: opendir(\\server\folder1\sub_folder) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No error in C:\wamp\www\PMOT\v0.1\REPORT_MENU\index.php on line 17
Firstly, one must make sure that the folder \\server\folder1\sub_folder can be accessed by a user, let's say USER_TEST with a password PASS_TEST. By setting properties to this folder, one can add this given user with the correct password (USER_TEST with PASS_TEST).
Secondly, the APACHE service must be set-up to take this user into account. If no user is specified, APACHE uses an anonymous user and this is where the problem/error message is coming from. One must go in control panel->administrative tools->services. One will see the list of services and must look for APACHE with Apache/2.X.X in the description. (For Wampserver, it will be called wampapache, and so on!) Right click on that and pop up the properties screen. In the tab LOG ON, there are 2 options: local system account and "this account" which will be a user specified account. This is where one must specify the USER_TEST and PASS_TEST.
Following these steps worked perfectly for me but if either the folder privileges or apache log on user is disabled, then I get the initial aforementioned error message.
Anyways, I hope this can help out someone!
Cheers!

An other way to recursively walk a directory and it's content, applying a callback to each file.
Exemple: Update the last modification time of each file in a folder
<?php
clearstatcache();
$sourcepath = "C:/WINDOWS/TEMP";
// Replace \ by / and remove the final / if any
$root = ereg_replace( "/$", "", ereg_replace( "[\\]", "/", $sourcepath ));
// Touch all the files from the $root directory
if( false === m_walk_dir( $root, "m_touch_file", true )) {
echo "'{$root}' is not a valid directory\n";
}
// Walk a directory recursivelly, and apply a callback on each file
function m_walk_dir( $root, $callback, $recursive = true ) {
$dh = @opendir( $root );
if( false === $dh ) {
return false;
}
while( $file = readdir( $dh )) {
if( "." == $file || ".." == $file ){
continue;
}
call_user_func( $callback, "{$root}/{$file}" );
if( false !== $recursive && is_dir( "{$root}/{$file}" )) {
m_walk_dir( "{$root}/{$file}", $callback, $recursive );
}
}
closedir( $dh );
return true;
}
// if the path indicates a file, run touch() on it
function m_touch_file( $path ) {
echo $path . "\n";
if( !is_dir( $path )) {
touch( $path );
}
}

A simple function to count all the files and/or dirs inside a dir.
With optional extention when counting files.
Index of /
Some text file.txt
files/
num_files.phps
test.php
<?php
function num_files($dir, $type, $ext="")
{
// type 1: files only
// type 2: direcories only

if (!isset($dir) OR empty($dir))
{
echo '<b>Syntax error:</b> $dir value empty.';
exit;

if ($dir = @opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
{
if(is_file($file) AND $file != "." AND $file != "..")
{
if (isset($ext) AND !empty($ext))
{
$extension = end(explode(".", $file));
if ($ext == $extension)
{
$num_files++;

$total = $num_dirs;
}
break;
case 3: // count files PLUS dirs in once variable
if ($dir = @opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
{

closedir($dir);
$total = $num_files;
}
break;
case 4: // count files AND dirs separately
if ($dir = @opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
{
if(is_file($file) AND $file != "." AND $file != "..")

$nummers = explode(" ", num_files($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], 4));
echo reset($nummers) ." file(s) en ". end($nummers) ." dir(s)";
?>
will output:
1 file(s) with php extention
3 file(s)
1 dir(s)
1 file(s) + dir(s)
3 file(s) en 1 dir(s)

In reponse to Tozeiler. Nice short directory dump. However, that displays the "." and "..". This removes those. It also makes an ordered list in case I needed to be on the phone while looking at the page. Easy to call out.
<?php
$path = "your path";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=1;
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo "$i. <a href='$path/$file'>$file</a><br />";
$i++;
}

Using Apache 2.2.4 with PHP and MySQL I was trying to connect to a Novell Netware drive using opendir("R:/") where R: was pointing to a Netware resource on another server. The error returned was
Warning: opendir(R:/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in path/to/my/phpfile/containing/opendir on line 34.
Basically it is a problem with Netware rights and users and how the apache service was trying to connect to the resource.
To get everything working as expected in the end we set up a Windows user account eg: webhost with the same password as a Netware account with username webhost, set the Netware account to have rights to the resource R:/ (we just used admin rights), and set the apache service to run as the webhost user using the username password combo.
Hope this helps someone else out.

This is a script that prints all the file and directory names on your server no matter where the script file is located
(could take a lot of time to execute, if you have a lot of directories and files...)
Hope someone finds it useful...

Here's a function that will recrusively turn a directory into a hash of directory hashes and file arrays, automatically ignoring "dot" files.
<?php
function hashify_directory($topdir, &$list, $ignoredDirectories=array()) {
if (is_dir($topdir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($topdir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (!(array_search($file,$ignoredDirectories) > -1) && preg_match('/^\./', $file) == 0) {
if (is_dir("$topdir$file")) {
if(!isset($list[$file])) {
$list[$file] = array();
}
ksort($list);
hashify_directory("$topdir$file/", $list[$file]);
} else {
array_push($list, $file);
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
}
?>
e.g.
<?php
$public_html["StudentFiles"] = array();
hashify_directory("StudentFiles/", $public_html["StudentFiles"]);
?>
on the directory structure:
./StudentFiles/tutorial_01/case1/file1.html
./StudentFiles/tutorial_01/case1/file2.html
./StudentFiles/tutorial_02/case1/file1.html
./StudentFiles/tutorial_02/case2/file2.html
./StudentFiles/tutorial_03/case1/file2.html
etc...
becomes:
<?php
print_r($public_html);
/*
outputs:
array(
"StudentFiles" => array (
"tutorial_01" => array (
"case1" => array( "file1.html", "file2.html")
),
"tutorial_02" => array (
"case1" => array( "file1.html"),
"case2" => array( "file2.html")
),
"tutorial_03" => array (
"case1" => array( "file2.html")
)
)
)
*/

I'm using it to create a tree view of a directory.

An issue that I ran into is that opendir() could care less if you've got server authentication set on sub directories and so any such authentication is bypassed completely when accesses in this way. I did solve it for my application of a pretty file manager, by redirecting to all sub directories thusly:
$fdir = "./subdirectory_I_want_to_visit/";
if ($fdir != './') { //basically where we are or the parent
//redirect the browser to force authentication check on any subdirectories
header("Location: http://my.domain.com".dirname($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]).substr($fdir,2));
exit;
} else {
$dir = opendir($fdir);
}

John & I have edited the code posted by hendrik dot wermer at gmx dot de on 07-Feb-2005 06:06
This Code now allows for downloads form sub directories. We also used CSS to make the page's look customizable.
You can view the example at: http://www.asterikast.com/code/dirlist.txt
Christian (2006-07-26 03:10:13)
Pointing on the previous post, I'd like to say the following.
You can use opendir on all valid (existant and reachable) folders.
This counts not only for windows but also for linux.
Under linux, you can also read root folders etc.
To avoid access to non-public data, you should check the given parameter for opendir before executing opendir.
Let's say you have this:
/home/users/mrsmith/
/home/users/mrsmith/info.txt
/home/users/mrsmith/test/photo.jpg
/home/users/mradmin/private.txt
Now you don't want mrsmith to access mradmin's folders/files.
In that case you could/should define the path where the data MUST be inside.
Attention:
Don't check the data with substr though, it's not a secure solution.
Exploit example: /home/users/mrsmith/../mradmin/
Exploit example2: /home/users/mrsmith/../../../../../../../../../../../../../dev/
I'd do a case sensitive regex match.
So after the first folder there may not be a subfolder named ".." because that would jump one folder back.
I hope this isn't too offtopic or so but I think it's important to think of that when creating file systems.
tim2005 (2006-05-13 05:04:36)
Hello,
A friend of mine is running a webhost, I think i found a security leak with this script:
<?php
function select_files($dir, $label = "", $select_name, $curr_val = "", $char_length = 30) {
$teller = 0;
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
$mydir = ($label != "") ? "<label for=\"".$select_name."\">".$label."</label>\n" : "";
$mydir .= "<select name=\"".$select_name."\">\n";
$curr_val = (isset($_REQUEST[$select_name])) ? $_REQUEST[$select_name] : $curr_val;
$mydir .= ($curr_val == "") ? " <option value=\"\" selected>...\n" : "<option value=\"\">...\n";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$files[] = $file;
}
closedir($handle);
sort($files);
foreach ($files as $val) {
if (is_file($dir.$val)) { // show only real files (ver. 1.01)
$mydir .= " <option value=\"".$val."\"";
$mydir .= ($val == $curr_val) ? " selected>" : ">";
$mydir .= (strlen($val) > $char_length) ? substr($val, 0, $char_length)."...\n" : $val."\n";
$teller++;
}
}
$mydir .= "</select>";
}
if ($teller == 0) {
$mydir = "No files!";
} else {
return $mydir;
}
}
echo select_files("C:/winnt/", "", "", "", "60");
?>
Now i can see hist files in his windows dir. Is this a leak? and is it fixable? I'll report this as bug too!

remove global definition

filelist($startdir . $file . "/", $searchSubdirs, $directoriesonly, $maxlevel, $level + 1);

I wrote a function to recursively delete files from a starting directory. I had to do this because my server doesn't allow me to delete files that apache writes because I don't have permissions, so... I let apache do the work.

recursive_delete($dir);
function recursive_delete( $dir )

{
if( is_dir( $dir . $file ) )
{

rmdir( $dir . $file );

oryan's example is still sub-optimal, even if people using it never ever substitute a variable for directory.
Just use PHP's glob() function, which will be faster and more efficient anyway since it doesn't have to launch a shell and run the ls program (that's what the shell_exec does).
$result = glob("directory/*");
oryan at zareste dot com (2005-11-01 03:19:36)
There might be a bit of truth to that. If, by chance, the webmaster made a form saying "type a random directory name here" and used that in the function, there'd be a problem. So let's eliminate the 'function' part
$files=shell_exec("ls directory");
$result=explode("\n",$files);
'$result' will now be an array of the directory files. You can use variables in the shell_exec command, but don't use anything that could be user-sent.
aligma at gmail dot com (2005-10-31 19:54:50)
The example given by oryan at zareste dot com may also be a "simpler faster way" of creating security holes in your code. The function listed above prevents risking execution of abitrary shell commands listed after a semicolon (;) in your directory name.
Example: $directory = '.;rm -rf /';
Result: List this directory, erase contents of filesystem.
oryan at zareste dot com (2005-10-30 17:33:33)
There's a simpler faster way to get a whole directory if you're using PHP 4. This function uses shell_exec - http://us3.php.net/shell_exec - and assumes you're using Unix/Linux and have shell access -
function dir($directory){
$files=shell_exec("ls ".$directory);
return explode("\n",$files);
}
This returns an array with all the files.
This way, you can use modifiers like -t, which shows files in order of modification time ($files=shell_exec("ls -t ".$directory);). Enough tweaking and you can use it on Windows, though I can't say how since I don't have a Windows server to try it on

I made a function for finding all files in a specified directory and all subdirectories. It can be quite usefull when searching in alot of files in alot subdirectories. The function returns an array with the path of all the files found.
<?
function getFiles($directory) {
// Try to open the directory
if($dir = opendir($directory)) {
// Create an array for all files found
$tmp = Array();
// Add the files
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
// Make sure the file exists
if($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != '.') {
// If it's a directiry, list all files within it
if(is_dir($directory . "/" . $file)) {
$tmp2 = getFiles($directory . "/" . $file);
if(is_array($tmp2)) {
$tmp = array_merge($tmp, $tmp2);
}
} else {
array_push($tmp, $directory . "/" . $file);
}
}
}
// Finish off the function
closedir($dir);
return $tmp;
}
}
// Example of use
print_r(getFiles('.')); // This will find all files in the current directory and all subdirectories

Here's another version of directory listing, since I had some problems using the examples below. It will display the content of the current directory, sorted by directories and files.
You can also search subdirectories by setting $maxDepth > 0. There's a link to other directories, so you can easily switch to the parent directory or to other directories in the current directory.
Hope it helps!
<?php
// show directory content
function showDir($dir, $i, $maxDepth){
$i++;
if($checkDir = opendir($dir)){
$cDir = 0;
$cFile = 0;
// check all files in $dir, add to array listDir or listFile
while($file = readdir($checkDir)){
if($file != "." && $file != ".."){
if(is_dir($dir . "/" . $file)){
$listDir[$cDir] = $file;
$cDir++;
}
else{
$listFile[$cFile] = $file;
$cFile++;
}
}
}
// show directories
if(count($listDir) > 0){
sort($listDir);
for($j = 0; $j < count($listDir); $j++){
echo "
<tr>";
$spacer = "";
for($l = 0; $l < $i; $l++) $spacer .= " ";
// create link
$link = "<a href=\"" . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?dir=" . $dir . "/" . $listDir[$j] . "\">$listDir[$j]</a>";
echo "<td>" . $spacer . $link . "</td>
</tr>";
// list all subdirectories up to maxDepth
if($i < $maxDepth) showDir($dir . "/" . $listDir[$j], $i, $maxDepth);
}
}
// show files
if(count($listFile) > 0){
sort($listFile);
for($k = 0; $k < count($listFile); $k++){
$spacer = "";
for($l = 0; $l < $i; $l++) $spacer .= " ";
echo "
<tr>
<td>" . $spacer . $listFile[$k] . "</td>
</tr>";
}
}
closedir($checkDir);
}
}
if($_GET["dir"] == "" || !is_dir($_GET["dir"])) $dir = getcwd();
else $dir = $_GET["dir"];
// replace backslashes, not necessary, but better to look at
$dir = str_replace("\\", "/", $dir);
// show parent path
$pDir = pathinfo($dir);
$parentDir = $pDir["dirname"];
echo "<a href=\"" . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "\"><h3>Home</h3></a>";
echo "Current directory: " . $dir;
echo "<a href=\"" . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?dir=$parentDir\"><h4>Parent directory: $parentDir</h4></a>";
// Display directory content
echo"<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<tr><th align=left>File / Dir</th>";
// specifies the maxDepth of included subdirectories
// set maxDepth to 0 if u want to display the current directory
$maxDepth = 0;

Here's another recursive function that prints out everything from the starting path to the end. It doesn't have any search function, but just another example. I wrote it for getting a quick hierarchial view of websites (even through Dreamweaver will show it to me, it'd be a chore to go through each folder and expand it).
<?php
// map_dirs(path,level)
// path, level to start (start at 0)
map_dirs("/var/ww/html/",0);
function map_dirs($path,$level) {
if(is_dir($path)) {
if($contents = opendir($path)) {
while(($node = readdir($contents)) !== false) {
if($node!="." && $node!="..") {
for($i=0;$i<$level;$i++) echo " ";
if(is_dir($path."/".$node)) echo "+"; else echo " ";
echo $node."\n";
map_dirs("$path/$node",$level+1);
}
}
}
}
}
?>

Note that the opendir() function will use ISO8859-1 characterset under windows...
If you have korean, japanese, etc.. filenames, you won't be able to open them. I still didn't find any solution to workaround that.
dale dot liszka at gmail dot com (2004-08-06 20:17:04)
I whipped up a little recursive directory searching function that has been very useful. I figured it belonged here. I'm sure its not the most robust or creative code, but it works for me.
Note, you can use strpos for simple matches or preg_match if you want the power of regular expressions (however it is a bit slower). I also have it set to use double quotes "\\" for WIN32. change to "/" if necessary.
It returns an array of all matching files with full path.
function search_dir($mask,$dir,$level){
if($level > 3){
return "Exceeded max level (3)";
}
$return_me = array();
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
#echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . " level: $level\n";
if(is_dir($dir."\\".$file) and $file != '.' and $file != '..'){
$test_return = search_dir($mask,$dir."\\".$file,$level+1);
if(is_array($test_return)){
$temp = array_merge($test_return,$return_me);
$return_me = $temp;
}
if(is_string($test_return)){
array_push($return_me,$test_return);
}
#} else if(strpos($file,$mask) !== FALSE){ #A bit faster, but you can't use regexs!
} else if(preg_match($mask,$file)){
array_push($return_me,$dir."\\".$file);
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
return $return_me;
}

I had problems getting it to work because I'm not the best at PHP, but there IS a way to use opendir to list things in alphabetical order. I'm using it for my university project. All you have to do is read the filenames into an array, sort the array and then do what you want with the filenames.... like this....
So that you know what all my variables mean in this - $stats is the folder that it looks in for the files - for example
?stats=images
would look in the images folder
Obviously you will want to modify it so it fits your needs, but I thought you guys would want this - especially if your server doesnt have the latest version of php.
===========================
<?php
$i = 0;
$arraycount = 0;
$home="/home/cabal/public_html/b146/admin/$stats";
if ($stats)
{
$dircheck="/home/cabal/public_html/b146/admin/$stats";
if (is_dir($dircheck))
{
if ($handle = opendir($home))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
$path = "$home/$file";
$extension = array_pop(explode('.', basename($path)));
$filearray[$i] = $file;
$i++;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
else
{
echo "INCORRECT SELECTION";
}
}
else
{
echo "NOTHING SELECTED";
}
echo " ";
echo("<table width='100%' border='1'><tr><td><b><font color='#ff0000'>");
echo("$stats : Log File");
echo("</b></font></td><td><font color='#FF0000'><b>Page Views</b></font></td></tr>");
sort($filearray);
reset($filearray);
while (list($key, $val) = each($filearray))
{
$includearray = "$home/$filearray[$key]";
echo("<tr><td>");
echo("$val");
echo("</td><td>");
include($includearray);
echo("</td></tr>");
}

If you have problems like "failed to open dir: Invalid argument"
when using IIS and trying to access windows/smb network shares, try
//servername/share/directory
instead of
\\servername\share
micklweiss at gmx dot net (2003-11-19 13:12:31)
I ran into a little snag in example 1. opendir() lists files by the last time the file was accessed. I was trying to print the files numerically in a directory.
Solution: Use scandir() instead (php5) or store the files in an array and sort it.
Hope this helps someone.

In addition to notes above about IIS & PHP reading network shares, here's one solution that works better for me.
in the management console I created a folder where my "read_dir" script runs. click on properties then select the security tab. here you can set the anonymous account to the standard IUSR_$computername% , BUT.. in this case I chose another account that I set up for reading my shares. (make sure login name and password match the credantials you set on the remote machin ;-))
I use this to read a dir and it's contents into a searchable database. and it works like a charm...
Matt Grimm (2003-06-06 13:25:11)
Thought I could help clarify something with accessing network shares on a Windows network (2000 in this case), running PHP 4.3.2 under Apache 2.0.44.
However you are logged into the Windows box, your Apache service must be running under an account which has access to the share. The easiest (and probably least safe) way for me was to change the user for the Apache service to the computer administrator (do this in the service properties, under the "Log On" tab). After restarting Apache, I could access mapped drives by their assigned drive letter ("z:\\") or regular shares by their UNC path ("\\\\shareDrive\\shareDir").

Re: Accessing network directories on W32
In reply to the previous comments, to enable opendir() to open directories like "\\SOMEHOST\shareddir", with PHP+IIS:
Follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q189408
Check that the file share allows reads to IUSR_[HOSTNAME] user.
kcgt at go dot com (2002-08-29 19:14:33)
I don't know if this will work the same, but I was working with copy() in order to copy a file to a network drive using IIS.
In order to be able to copy to a network drive, you have to have permissions for the user IUSR_computername where computername is the name of the computer that is running PHP. Once permissions were set up on the remote machine, PHP was able to access the remote files. I don't know if this will work the same with opendir, but it might be worth a try......
