recusive scandir

[thibo1025]

Hello W3C's,I would like to create a Php function to show teh content of a dir like this.

• dir 1
  • dir 1.1
    • file
    • file

    [*]file [*]file

  [*]dir 2

  • file
  • file

  [*]file[*]file

And I cannot figure out how to scan dir1.1 properly.any help

This is the general theory of a recursive function:

function list_directory($dir){  $dirs = array();  $files = array();  $contents = scandir($dir);  foreach ($contents as $item)  {	// if $item is a directory, add it to the $dirs array, 	// else add it to the $files array  }  // sort $dirs and $files arrays  foreach ($dirs as $d)  {	// print directory name	list_directory($dir . PATH_SEPARATOR . $d); // recurse  }  foreach ($files as $f)  {	// print file list  }}

All the function does is get the contents of the directory, build a list of directories and files, run itself for each directory, then print the list of files. That will produce output in the order you showed.
