Question

I have this PHP Code:

$rootpath = \'../admin/\';
$inner = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootpath);
$fileinfos = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($inner);

for         


        

Answer 1

In essence, my answer is not much different from Thomas' answer. However, he does not get a few things correct:

• The semantics correct for the RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator require you to return true to recurse into subdirectories.
• He doesn't skip the . and .. directories inside each sub-directory
• His in_array check doesn't quite do what he expects

So, I wrote this answer instead. This will work correctly, assuming I understand what you want:

^{Edit: He has since fixed 2 of those three issues; the third may not be an issue because of the way he wrote his conditional check but I am not quite sure.}

hasChildren() && !in_array($file->getFilename(), $exclude)) {
        return true;
    }
    return $file->isFile();
};

$innerIterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(
    $directory,
    RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS
);
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator($innerIterator, $filter)
);

foreach ($iterator as $pathname => $fileInfo) {
    // do your insertion here
}
