PHP script to loop through all of the files in a directory

Question

I m looking for a PHP script that loops through all of the files in a directory so I can do things with the filename  such as format  print or add it to a link  I d like to be able to sort the files by name  type or by date created added modified   Think fancy directory  index    I d also like to be able to add exclusions to the list of files  such as the script itself or other  system  files   Like the   and     directories     Being that I d like to be able to modify the script  I m more interested in looking at the PHP docs and learning how to write one myself  That said  if there are any existing scripts  tutorials and whatnot  please let me know

If you don t have access to DirectoryIterator class try this    lt  php  path     path to files    if   handle   opendir  path         while  false       file   readdir  handle              if           file  continue          if            file  continue              do something with the file           closedir  handle       gt

For completeness  since this seems to be a high-traffic page   let s not forget the good old dir   function    entries        d   dir          dir to scan while  false       entry    d- gt read          mind the strict bool check      if   entry 0          continue     ignore anything starting with a dot      entries      entry     d- gt close    sort  entries      or whatever desired  print r  entries

You can also make use of FilesystemIterator  It requires even less code then DirectoryIterator  and automatically removes   and         Let s traverse the images directory  fileSystemIterator   new FilesystemIterator  images      entries   array    foreach   fileSystemIterator as  fileInfo        entries      fileInfo- gt getFilename       var dump  entries      OUTPUT object FilesystemIterator  1   array  size 14    0   gt  string  aa 1  jpg   length 9    1   gt  string  Chrysanthemum jpg   length 17    2   gt  string  Desert jpg   length 10    3   gt  string  giphy billclinton sad gif   length 25    4   gt  string  giphy shut your gif   length 19    5   gt  string  Hydrangeas jpg   length 14    6   gt  string  Jellyfish jpg   length 13    7   gt  string  Koala jpg   length 9    8   gt  string  Lighthouse jpg   length 14    9   gt  string  Penguins jpg   length 12    10   gt  string  pnggrad16rgb png   length 16    11   gt  string  pnggrad16rgba png   length 17    12   gt  string  pnggradHDrgba png   length 17    13   gt  string  Tulips jpg   length 10    Link  http   php net manual en class filesystemiterator php

you can do this as well  path    quot  public quot     objects   new RecursiveIteratorIterator new RecursiveDirectoryIterator  path   RecursiveIteratorIterator  SELF FIRST    foreach   objects as  name   gt   object      if           object  continue    if            object  continue   str replace   public          object- gt getPathname         for example    public admin image png   gt   admin image png

glob   has provisions for sorting and pattern matching  Since the return value is an array  you can do most of everything else you need
