scandir

(PHP 5)

scandir --  List files and directories inside the specified path

Description

array scandir ( string directory [, int sorting_order [, resource context]])

Returns an array of files and directories from the directory. If directory is not a directory, then boolean FALSE is returned, and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.

By default, the sorted order is alphabetical in ascending order. If the optional sorting_order is used (set to 1), then sort order is alphabetical in descending order.

Beispiel 1. A simple scandir() example

<?php
$dir    
= '/tmp';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
$files2 = scandir($dir, 1);

print_r($files1);
print_r($files2);
?>

Outputs something like:

Array
(
    [0] => .
    [1] => ..
    [2] => bar.php
    [3] => foo.txt
    [4] => somedir
)
Array
(
    [0] => somedir
    [1] => foo.txt
    [2] => bar.php
    [3] => ..
    [4] => .
)

Beispiel 2. PHP 4 alternatives to scandir()

<?php
$dir
= "/tmp";
$dh  = opendir($dir);
while (
false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
    
$files[] = $filename;
}

sort($files);

print_r($files);

rsort($files);

print_r($files);

?>

Outputs something like:

Array
(
    [0] => .
    [1] => ..
    [2] => bar.php
    [3] => foo.txt
    [4] => somedir
)
Array
(
    [0] => somedir
    [1] => foo.txt
    [2] => bar.php
    [3] => ..
    [4] => .
)

Tipp: Mit dieser Funktion können Sie eine URL als Dateinamen verwenden, falls Sie fopen wrappers ermöglicht haben. Mehr Details, wie Sie den Dateinamen angeben müssen finden Sie bei fopen(). Eine Liste der unterstützten URL Protokolle finden Sie unter Anhang L.
