PHP 5 has the RecursiveDirectoryIterator    The manual has a basic example    lt  php   directory     system infomation      it   new RecursiveIteratorIterator new RecursiveDirectoryIterator  directory     while  it- gt valid           if    it- gt isDot               echo  SubPathName       it- gt getSubPathName       n           echo  SubPath           it- gt getSubPath       n           echo  Key               it- gt key       n n               it- gt next         gt      Edit --  Here s a slightly more advanced example  only slightly  which produces output similar to what you want  i e  folder names then files       Create recursive dir iterator which skips dot folders  dir   new RecursiveDirectoryIterator    system information       FilesystemIterator  SKIP DOTS       Flatten the recursive iterator  folders come before their files  it    new RecursiveIteratorIterator  dir      RecursiveIteratorIterator  SELF FIRST       Maximum depth is 1 level deeper than the base folder  it- gt setMaxDepth 1       Basic loop displaying different messages based on file or folder foreach   it as  fileinfo        if   fileinfo- gt isDir              printf  Folder -  s n    fileinfo- gt getFilename           elseif   fileinfo- gt isFile              printf  File From  s -  s n    it- gt getSubPath     fileinfo- gt getFilename

You can use    foreach  new DirectoryIterator    system information    as  fn         print  fn- gt getFilename         You ll have to use it twice for each subdir  Players and User
