PHP get file listing including sub directories
glob, php
Solution
from glob example
if ( ! function_exists('glob_recursive'))
{
// Does not support flag GLOB_BRACE
function glob_recursive($pattern, $flags = 0)
{
$files = glob($pattern, $flags);
foreach (glob(dirname($pattern).'/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR|GLOB_NOSORT) as $dir)
{
$files = array_merge($files, glob_recursive($dir.'/'.basename($pattern), $flags));
}
return $files;
}
}
Problem
I am trying to retrieve all images in a directory, including all subdirectories. I am currently using ``` $images = glob("{images/portfolio/*.jpg,images/portfolio/*/*.jpg,images/portfolio/*/*/*.jpg,images/portfolio/*/*/*/*.jpg}",GLOB_BRACE); ``` This works, however the results are: ``` images/portfolio/1.jpg images/portfolio/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory2/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory2/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/subdirectory1/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/subdirectory1/2.jpg ``` I want it to do a whole directory branch at a time so the results are: ``` images/portfolio/1.jpg images/portfolio/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/subdirectory1/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory1/subdirectory1/2.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory2/1.jpg images/portfolio/subdirectory2/2.jpg ``` Greatly appreciate any help, cheers! P.S It would also be great if I could just get all subdirectories under portfolio without having to specifically state each directory with a wild card.
