rewinddir
Another getDirectoryTree with filters:
function getDirectoryTree( $outerDir, $filters = array() ){
$dirs = array_diff( scandir( $outerDir ), array_merge( Array( ".", ".." ), $filters ) );
$dir_array = Array();
foreach( $dirs as $d )
$dir_array[ $d ] = is_dir($outerDir."/".$d) ? getDirectoryTree( $outerDir."/".$d, $filters ) : $dir_array[ $d ] = $d;
return $dir_array;
}
scandir
(PHP 5)
scandir — List files and directories inside the specified path
Description
array scandir
( string $directory
[, int $sorting_order = 0
[, resource $context
]] )
Returns an array of files and directories from the directory .
Parameters
- directory
-
The directory that will be scanned.
- sorting_order
-
By default, the sorted order is alphabetical in ascending order. If the optional sorting_order is set to non-zero, then the sort order is alphabetical in descending order.
- context
-
For a description of the context parameter, refer to the streams section of the manual.
Return Values
Returns an array of filenames on success, or FALSE on failure. If directory is not a directory, then boolean FALSE is returned, and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.
Examples
Example #1 A simple scandir() example
<?php
$dir = '/tmp';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
$files2 = scandir($dir, 1);
print_r($files1);
print_r($files2);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => bar.php
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)
Array
(
[0] => somedir
[1] => foo.txt
[2] => bar.php
[3] => ..
[4] => .
)
Example #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);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => bar.php
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)
Array
(
[0] => somedir
[1] => foo.txt
[2] => bar.php
[3] => ..
[4] => .
)
Notes
Tip
A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename. See the List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for links to information about what abilities the various wrappers have, notes on their usage, and information on any predefined variables they may provide.

Hello all,
I just added a extension filter to the getDirectoryTree function, so it can filter an extension for files in the folders/subfolders:
<?php
function getDirectoryTree( $outerDir , $x){
$dirs = array_diff( scandir( $outerDir ), Array( ".", ".." ) );
$dir_array = Array();
foreach( $dirs as $d ){
if( is_dir($outerDir."/".$d) ){
$dir_array[ $d ] = getDirectoryTree( $outerDir."/".$d , $x);
}else{
if (($x)?ereg($x.'$',$d):1)
$dir_array[ $d ] = $d;
}
}
return $dir_array;
}
$dirlist = getDirectoryTree('filmes','flv');
?>

Here's a simple little scandir() function that can pick a random photo (jpg only so far) and dislpay it. This also goes through an exclusion list and doesn't store anything you don't want to display. Use as you wish
<?php
$dir=scandir("photos");
$exclude=array("photos/.","photos/..","photos/ex");
$photos=array();
for ($x=0; $x<count($dir); $x++){
$dir[$x]="photos/".$dir[$x];
if (is_dir($dir[$x]) && !in_array($dir[$x], $exclude)){
$thisfolder=scandir($dir[$x]);
for ($f=0; $f<count($thisfolder); $f++)
if (strpos(strtolower($thisfolder[$f]), ".jpg"))
$photos[]=$dir[$x]."/".$thisfolder[$f];
}
}
$rand=rand(0, count($photos));
echo "<div style='text-align: center;'>";
echo "<img src='".$photos[$rand]."' alt='' style='width: 80%'/>";
echo "</div>";

Here is a function that parses your website's directory tree, similar to the scanDirectories function provided by fatpratmatt. However, this allows you to filter out all files except for those with specific extensions, in addition to allowing you to ignore entire directories, and also has a list of specific files to ignore. One last addition is that it allows you to use a regular expression to ignore another set of files.
I use this to walk the directory structure of my website, and to generate a sitemap.xml for Google sitemaps to index my site. This allows me to skip dev, data, library, etc. folders, and files that are not front end files.
The way it's written means you don't need to worry about excluding specific files at all unless they have the extension you are looking for (i.e. html or php files).
Enjoy.
<?php
function get_files($root_dir, $all_data=array())
{
// only include files with these extensions
$allow_extensions = array("php", "html");
// make any specific files you wish to be excluded
$ignore_files = array("gdform.php","fishheader.php","fishfooter.php",
"sitelinks.php","google204accd1c3ac0501.html","sitemapxml.php",
"rotate.php", "fishstockingreport2.php", "repcentral.php", "repne.php",
"repnorth.php","reppowell.php","repse.php","repsouth.php","repse.php",
"stockreplib.php","iestyles.php");
$ignore_regex = '/^_/';
// skip these directories
$ignore_dirs = array(".", "..", "images", "dev", "lib", "data", "osh", "fiq", "google",
"stats", "_db_backups", "maps", "php_uploads", "test");
// run through content of root directory
$dir_content = scandir($root_dir);
foreach($dir_content as $key => $content)
{
$path = $root_dir.'/'.$content;
if(is_file($path) && is_readable($path))
{
// skip ignored files
if(!in_array($content, $ignore_files))
{
if (preg_match($ignore_regex,$content) == 0)
{
$content_chunks = explode(".",$content);
$ext = $content_chunks[count($content_chunks) - 1];
// only include files with desired extensions
if (in_array($ext, $allow_extensions))
{
// save file name with path
$all_data[] = $path;
}
}
}
}
// if content is a directory and readable, add path and name
elseif(is_dir($path) && is_readable($path))
{
// skip any ignored dirs
if(!in_array($content, $ignore_dirs))
{
// recursive callback to open new directory
$all_data = get_files($path, $all_data);
}
}
} // end foreach
return $all_data;
} // end get_files()

Back in the saddle of scandir I wrote this function for a function that I needed to seperate directories from files. Since I am still learning from my last example way below I would figure I would add it so it can be criticized.
<?php
function dirlist($dir, $bool = "dirs"){
$truedir = $dir;
$dir = scandir($dir);
if($bool == "files"){ // dynamic function based on second pram
$direct = 'is_dir';
}elseif($bool == "dirs"){
$direct = 'is_file';
}
foreach($dir as $k => $v){
if(($direct($truedir.$dir[$k])) || $dir[$k] == '.' || $dir[$k] == '..' ){
unset($dir[$k]);
}
}
$dir = array_values($dir);
return $dir;
}
?>
<?php
print_r(dirlist("../")); //confirm array of subdirectories
print_r(dirlist("../", "files") // confirm list on files in the directory

$dirContent = scandir($rootDir);
foreach($dirContent as $key => $content) {
if ($content == '.' || $content == '..') continue;
$path = $rootDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $content;
$ext = substr($content, strrpos($content, '.') + 1);
if(in_array($ext, $allowext) && is_file($path) && is_readable($path)) {
$allData[] = $path;
}
else if(is_dir($path) && is_readable($path)) {
// recursive callback to open new directory

Just noticed a minor difference between scandir and readdir.
When opening a directory and using readdir(), each file appears to be accessed in the process. This resets the "Last Accessed" time that you would get with fileatime().
With scandir(), the list is created and none of the files are accessed. Therefore the access times remain unchanged.
I encountered this while writing a script to scan a directory and delete any file that hadn't been accessed in x time. Kind of defeated the purpose when the directory listing accessed every file...

This function generates a list of all files in the chosen directory and all subdirectories, throws them into a NON-multidimentional array and returns them.
Most of the recursive functions on this page only return a multi-dimensional array.
This is actually a modification of some one else's function (thanks mail at bartrail dot de ;])
<?php
function scanDirectories($rootDir, $allData=array()) {
// set filenames invisible if you want
$invisibleFileNames = array(".", "..", ".htaccess", ".htpasswd");
// run through content of root directory
$dirContent = scandir($rootDir);
foreach($dirContent as $key => $content) {
// filter all files not accessible
$path = $rootDir.'/'.$content;
if(!in_array($content, $invisibleFileNames)) {
// if content is file & readable, add to array
if(is_file($path) && is_readable($path)) {
// save file name with path
$allData[] = $path;
// if content is a directory and readable, add path and name
}elseif(is_dir($path) && is_readable($path)) {
// recursive callback to open new directory
$allData = scanDirectories($path, $allData);
}
}
}
return $allData;
}
?>
Example output:
print_r(scanDirectories("www"));

Since scandir() returns and array, here is a more concise method of dealing with the '.' and '..' problem when listing directories:
$target = '/';
$weeds = array('.', '..');
$directories = array_diff(scandir($target), $weeds);
foreach($directories as $value)
{
if(is_dir($target.$value))
{
echo $value.'<br />';
}

Bear in mind that sorting is *always* performed when scandir() is called. String sorting takes O(|s|n log n) runtime, and this adds to the burden of the server's memory and processing power.
Therefore, whenever the alphabetical order of the directory content is unimportant, especially if sorting is to be performed by another order, or the natural order of the files on the filesystem is to be utilized, the use of opendir(), readdir() and closedir() combined is always preferred to scandir().

Saw banzai monkeys code and tweaked it a little. I don't have scandir. So I had to play with the suggested use for php4.
Pretty new to PHP so beer with me. This will show your current directory as a link called "Back" and will list all of your files in a menu. I wanted this because I have a lot of static pages and needed a menu that would auto update every time I added a file.
<?php
$current=getcwd();
$directory=basename($current);
$direct=str_replace('-',' ',$directory);
$directoryuppercasewords=ucwords($direct);
/*this first section above will get your current folder or directory and since I have a "-" between the words of my file I have to strip them to look good if I want to show the current folder or directory in the title of the first link
*/
$dir = '.';
$dh = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
$files[] =$filename;
}
$t=array_slice($files,2);
$f=array_search('index.php',$t);
/*this code above with the variable $t gets rid of the '.' and the '..' parent and ancestor files. And the variable $f finds the index file and with the code below 'unset' let you use $f as the key to get rid of that file.
*/
unset($t[$f]);
print('<ul align="left">');
print('<li><a href="." title="'.$directoryuppercasewords.'">Back</a></br></li>');
foreach($t as $key => $value){
$phpkill=str_replace('.php', '', $value);
$htmlkill=str_replace('.html', '', $phpkill);
$dashkill=str_replace('-',' ',$htmlkill);
$uppercasewords=ucwords($dashkill);
print('<li><a href="' . $dir . '/' . $value . '" title="'.$uppercasewords.'>' . $uppercasewords . "</a></br></li>");
}
print('</ul>');
closedir($dh);
?>
I basically made all the variables so they could explain themselves, Regular expression is not my strong point right now, just becoming familiar with php functions is more of a priority, I hope this is usefull to someone.

Re: phdwight comments about Japanese.
As far as I can see, readdir simply sucks up the byte stream that the OS generates and shots that at the browser. At any rate, it works fine on the PHP4 server I'm using.
The key is matching the "Content-type" headers and html / xml "encoding" values to what the OS is generating.
This gets more complex if you think of a folder that can be accessed by a samba share. The Japanese files saved from a windows client will be have the file name encoded in ShiftJIS. Any files created locally on the system would be in UTF8 (on a UTF8 system). This results in a jumbled up list of UTF8 and ShiftJIS file names in the same directory. Try displaying that on the one HTML page! It gets messy.
The real issue here is that basically any random stream of bytes is a valid file name on a linux box. Good luck!

Aryel wrote a function called php4_scandir which works only if the is_dir function is called with the complete path. Otherwise the function will only work within the current working directory. So changing is_dir($file) to is_dir("$dir/$file") will work.
I believe that the test on skipDots should be negated to get the desired effect.

Took a while to figure this:
scandir and readdir functions DOES NOT currently correctly read Japanese files.
When it encounters the Japanese characters, it just displays it as whatever character (mostly ???).
Save your braincells knowing this. Hope PHP 6 will fix this.

This function is similar to scandir, but works in PHP4. It uses readdir to get directory info.
<?php
function php4_scandir($dir,$listDirectories=false, $skipDots=true) {
$dirArray = array();
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (($file != "." && $file != "..") || $skipDots == true) {
if($listDirectories == false) { if(is_dir($file)) { continue; } }
array_push($dirArray,basename($file));
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
return $dirArray;
}

dirlst - function to get directory and subdirectory file listing. Function outputs
an array with filenames and optionally also their mod.time and/or size.
You can choose also whether to include subdirectory names into listing
Function returns number of files listed.
$srcdir - source directory (without ending slash)
$fs - output array
$p - position of relative path, usually $p = strlen($srcdir) + 1;
set to 0 to store absolute path
$getfmt - set to 1 to include filemodtime in output
$getfsz - set to 1 to include filesize in output
$getdrs - set to 1 to include subdirectory names in output
$verbose - set to 1 to display output in runtime
Usage example.
Get directory listing (files only) and save it into a file:
$srcdir = 'C:\SomeFolder';
dirlst($srcdir, $files, strlen($srcdir) + 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);
file_put_contents($filename, join("", $files));
Get listing from file and explode contents:
$files = file($fn);
foreach($files as $line) {
list($file,$fmt,$fsz)=explode('|',$line);
...
}
<?php
function dirlst($srcdir, &$fs, $p=0, $getfmt=0, $getfsz=0, $getdrs=0, $verbose=0) {
$num = 0;
if(($files = scandir($srcdir))!==false) {
foreach($files as $file) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$srcfile = $srcdir . '\\' . $file;
$sf = substr($srcfile,$p);
$sst = stat($srcfile);
if($getfmt) { $fmt = $sst['mtime']; $sf.='|'.$fmt; }
if($getfsz) { $fsz = $sst['size']; $sf.='|'.$fsz; }
if(is_file($srcfile)) {
$fs[] = $sf."|\n";
if($verbose) echo $sf."|\n";
}
else if(is_dir($srcfile)) {
if($getdrs) { $fs[] = $sf."|\n"; if($verbose) echo $sf."|\n"; }
$num += dirlst($srcfile, $fs, $p, $getfmt, $getfsz, $getdrs, $verbose);
}
}
}
}
return $num;
}
?>
dirsort - function to sort directory listing array. Function returns sorted array.
$fs - sortable array (got by dirlst())
$col - column to sort; if the listing contains filename, filemodtime and filesize,
then: 0 - files, 1 - mod.time, 2 - size
$dsc - set to 0 to sort ascending, 1 - to sort descending
Usage example.
Sort by size, ascending:
$fs = dirsort($fs, 2, 0);
<?php
function dirsort($fs, $col=0, $dsc=0) {
foreach($fs as $line) list($col0[],$col1[],$col2[]) = explode('|',$line);
if($col==0) {
natcasesort($col0); if($dsc) $col0=array_reverse($col0,1);
$keys = array_keys($col0);
}
if($col==1) {
if($dsc) arsort($col1); else asort($col1);
$keys = array_keys($col1);
}
if($col==2) {
if($dsc) arsort($col2); else asort($col2);
$keys = array_keys($col2);
}
foreach($keys as $k) $nfs[] = $fs[$k];
return $nfs;
}

I wrote this function to read a folder and place all the folders and sub folders it contains into an array.
<?php
// Initialise empty array, otherwise an error occurs
$folders = array();
function recursive_subfolders($folders) {
// Set path here
$path = '/path/to/folder';
// Create initial "Folders" array
if ($dir = opendir($path)) {
$j = 0;
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && is_dir($path.$file)) {
$j++;
$folders[$j] = $path . $file;
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
// Then check each folder in that array for subfolders and add the subfolders to the "Folders" array.
$j = count($folders);
foreach ($folders as $folder) {
if ($dir = opendir($folder)) {
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
$pathto = $folder. '/' . $file;
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && is_dir($pathto) && !in_array($pathto, $folders)) {
$j++;
$folders[$j] = $pathto;
$folders = recursive_subfolders($folders);
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
sort($folders);
return $folders;
}
$folders = recursive_subfolders($folders);
?>
$folders now contains an array with the full paths to each subfolder. E.g.:
Array
(
[0] => /path/to/folder/dir1
[1] => /path/to/folder/dir1/subdir
[2] => /path/to/folder/dir1/subdir/subsubdir
[3] => /path/to/dolfer/dir2
)
This function has only been tested on Linux.

This function is recursive version of scandir, it scans all directories inside given directory. For instance : if we give path './dir1/' as argument , function will find also /dir1/dir2/file etc. - everything what`s inside given directory.
function scandir_recursive($path)
{
if (!is_dir($path)) return 0;
$list=array();
$directory = @opendir("$path"); // @-no error display
while ($file= @readdir($directory))
{
if (($file<>".")&&($file<>".."))
{
$f=$path."/".$file;
$f=preg_replace('/(\/){2,}/','/',$f); //replace double slashes
if(is_file($f)) $list[]=$f;
if(is_dir($f))
$list = array_merge($list ,scandir_recursive($f)); //RECURSIVE CALL
}
}
@closedir($directory);
return $list ;

I made a function that scans the directory and all it subfolders. You can also sort them with folders first and files after, in alphabetic order. It works with both PHP 4 and 5.
<?php
function rec_scandir($dir)
{
$files = array();
if ( $handle = opendir($dir) ) {
while ( ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
if ( $file != ".." && $file != "." ) {
if ( is_dir($dir . "/" . $file) ) {
$files[$file] = rec_scandir($dir . "/" . $file);
}else {
$files[] = $file;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
return $files;
}
}
function cmp($a, $b)
{
if ( is_string($a) && is_string($b) ) {
return strcmp($a, $b) > 0 ? 1 : -1;
}elseif ( is_int($a) && is_int($b) ) {
return $a > $b ? 1 : -1;
}elseif ( is_int($a) && is_string($b) ) {
return 1;
}elseif ( is_string($a) && is_int($b) ) {
return -1;
}else {
return 0;
}
}
function array_ukmultisort(&$arr, $func) {
uksort($arr, $func);
while ( list($key, $val) = each($arr) ) {
if ( is_array($val) ) {
array_ukmultisort($arr[$key], $func);
}
}
}
$dir = rec_scandir(".");
array_ukmultisort($dir, "cmp");
echo "<pre>";
print_r($dir);
echo "</pre>";

For non php5-users here you are this function...
It isn't set the wrapper, but I think it's enough :P.
If no pararameter is set, the scandir() function will scan the local file directory.
Set the optional parameter "$sort" to 1 to reverse the alphabetical-sorting.
<?
function scandir($dir = './', $sort = 0)
{
$dir_open = @ opendir($dir);
if (! $dir_open)
return false;
while (($dir_content = readdir($dir_open)) !== false)
$files[] = $dir_content;
if ($sort == 1)
rsort($files, SORT_STRING);
else
sort($files, SORT_STRING);
return $files;
}

I made this to represent a directory tree in an array that uses the file or directory names as keys and full paths as the value for files. Directories are nested arrays.
<?php
function generatePathTree($rootPath) {
$pathStack = array($rootPath);
$contentsRoot = array();
$contents = &$contentsRoot;
while ($path = array_pop($pathStack)) {
$contents[basename($path)] = array();
$contents = &$contents[basename($path)];
foreach (scandir($path) as $filename) {
if ('.' != substr($filename, 0, 1)) {
$newPath = $path.'/'.$filename;
if (is_dir($newPath)) {
array_push($pathStack, $newPath);
$contents[basename($newPath)] = array();
} else {
$contents[basename($filename)] = $newPath;
}
}
}
}
return $contentsRoot[basename($rootPath)];
}
?>
The function will return something like this:
Array
(
[index.php] => /usr/local/www/index.php
[js] => Array
(
[async.js] => /usr/local/www/js/async.js
[dom.js] => /usr/local/www/js/dom.js
[effects.js] => /usr/local/www/js/effects.js
[prototype.js] => /usr/local/www/js/prototype.js
)
[logo.png] => /usr/local/www/logo.png
[server.php] => /usr/local/www/server.php
[test.js] => /usr/local/www/test.js

For directory containing files like (for example) -.jpg the results of scandir are a little "weird" ;)
<?php
$dir = '/somedir';
$files = scandir($dir);
print_r($files);
?>
Array
(
[0] => -.jpg
[1] => .
[2] => ..
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)
Beware - sorting is in ASCII order :)

This function create a HTML view of a directory. It also look for subdirectory. I use some icon to differ from folders or files. It's also possible to get specific icon for specific file type.
Each entrey is clickable so you can use it to populate a form field.

Scandir on steroids:
For when you want to filter your file list, or only want to list so many levels of subdirectories...
<?php
function dirList($path="", $types=2, $levels=1, $aFilter=array()) {
// returns an array of the specified files/directories
// start search in $path (defaults to current working directory)
// return $types: 2 => files; 1 => directories; 3 => both;
// $levels: 1 => look in the $path only; 2 => $path and all children;
// 3 => $path, children, grandchildren; 0 => $path and all subdirectories;
// less than 0 => complement of -$levels, OR everything starting -$levels down
// e.g. -1 => everthing except $path; -2 => all descendants except $path + children
// Remaining argument(s) is(are) a filter array(list) of regular expressions which operate on the full path.
// First character (before the '/' of the regExp) '-' => NOT.
// First character (after a possible '-') 'd' => apply to directory name
// The filters may be passed in as an array of strings or as a list of strings
// Note that output directories are prefixed with a '*' (done in the line above the return)
$dS = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if (!($path = realpath($path?$path:getcwd()))) return array(); // bad path
// next line rids terminating \ on drives (works since c: == c:\ on PHP). OK in *nix?
if (substr($path,-1)==$dS) $path = substr($path,0,-1);
if (is_null($types)) $types = 2;
if (is_null($levels)) $levels = 1;
if (is_null($aFilter)) $aFilter=array();
// last argument may be passed as a list or as an array
$aFilter = array_slice(func_get_args(),3);
if ($aFilter && gettype($aFilter[0])=="array") $aFilter=$aFilter[0];
$adFilter = array();
// now move directory filters to separate array:
foreach ($aFilter as $i=>$filter) // for each directory filter...
if (($pos=stripos(" $filter","d")) && $pos<3) { // next line eliminates the 'd'
$adFilter[] = substr($filter,0,$pos-1) . substr($filter,$pos);
unset($aFilter[$i]); }
$aFilter = array_merge($aFilter); // reset indeces
$aRes = array(); // results, $aAcc is an Accumulator
$aDir = array($path); // dirs to check
for ($i=$levels>0?$levels++:-1;($aAcc=array())||$i--&&$aDir;$aDir=$aAcc)
while ($dir = array_shift($aDir))
foreach (scandir ($dir) as $fileOrDir)
if ($fileOrDir!="." && $fileOrDir!="..") {
if ($dirP = is_dir ($rp="$dir$dS$fileOrDir"))
if (pathFilter("$rp$dS", $adFilter))
$aAcc[] = $rp;
if ($i<$levels-1 && ($types & (2-$dirP)))
if (pathFilter($rp, $aFilter))
$aRes[] = ($dirP?"*":"") . $rp; }
return $aRes;
}
?>
example usage:
<?php
define ("_", NULL);
// this will find all non .jpg, non .Thumbs.db files under c:\Photo
$aFiles = dirList('c:\Photo', _, 0, '-/\.jpg$/i', '-/\\\\Thumbs.db$/');
$aFiles = dirList(); // find the files in the current directory
// next lines will find .jpg files in non Photo(s) subdirectories, excluding Temporary Internet Files
set_time_limit(60); // iterating from the top level can take a while
$aFiles = dirList("c:\\", _, 0, '/\.jpg$/i', '-d/\\\\Photos?$/i', '-d/Temporary Internet/i');
?>
See my earlier entry for the definition of pathFilter(...)
Note that this function will consume a lot of time if scanning large
directory structures (which is the reason for the '[-]d/.../' filters).

A nice way to filter the files/directories you get back from scandir:
<?php
function pathFilter ($path, $aFilter) {
// returns true iff $path survives the tests from $aFilter
// $aFilter is an array of regular expressions: [-]/regExp/modifiers
// if there is a leading '-' it means exclude $path upon a match (a NOT test)
// If the first expression has a leading '-', $path is in, unless it gets excluded.
// Otherwise, $path is out, unless it gets included via the filter tests.
// The tests are applied in succession.
// A NOT test is applied only if $path is currently (within the tests) included
// Other tests are applied only if $path is currently excluded. Thus,
// array("/a/", "-/b/", "/c/") => passes if $path has a c or if $path has an a but no b
// array("/a/", "/c/", "-/b/") => passes if $path has an a or c, but no b
// array("-/b/", "/a/", "/c/") => passes if $path has no b, or if $path has an a or c
if (!$aFilter) return true; // automatic inclusion (pass) if no filters
foreach ($aFilter as $filter) break; // we don't know how it's indexed
$in = $filter[0]=="-"; // initial in/exclusion based on first filter
foreach ($aFilter as $filter) // walk the filters
if ($in==$not=($filter[0]=="-")) // testing only when necessary
$in ^= preg_match(substr($filter,$not),$path); // flip in/exclusion upon a match
return $in;
}
?>

Ok, in my previous example, you need to do the SORT after you remove the "." and ".." entries from the array. Otherwise, you cannot start using the array at 0.
Here is corrected code:
<?php
function scandir($dir, $no_dots=FALSE) {
$files = array();
$dh = @opendir($dir);
if ($dh!=FALSE) {
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
$files[] = $filename;
}
if ($no_dots) {
while(($ix = array_search('.',$files)) > -1)
unset($files[$ix]);
while(($ix = array_search('..',$files)) > -1)
unset($files[$ix]);
}
sort($files);
}
return $files;
}
?>

Since I needed to scan dirs and subdirs and wanted to have files and dirs not in the same var without having to explode it, I did this little function:
<?php
function scan_Dir($directory=NULL)
{
$temp = "";
if ($directory==NULL)
{
$directory = getcwd();
}
$handle = opendir($directory);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($handle)))
{
if (($filename!=".") AND ($filename!=".."))
{
if (is_dir($directory."/".$filename))
{
$old_directory = $directory;
$directory .= "/".$filename;
$temp = scan_Dir($directory);
$cpt = 0;
while ($cpt<count($temp["filename"]))
{
$arrfiles["path"][] = $directory."/".$temp["filename"][$cpt];
$arrfiles["directory"][] = $directory;
$arrfiles["filename"][] = $temp["filename"][$cpt];
$cpt++;
}
$directory = $old_directory;
}
else
{
$arrfiles["path"][] = $directory."/".$filename;
$arrfiles["directory"][] = $directory;
$arrfiles["filename"][] = $filename;
}
}
}
return $arrfiles;
}
?>
This one seems to work properly and use multidimensional array.
To show your files, just use:
<?php
$dir2scan = "admin";
$yourvar = scan_Dir($dir2scan);
echo $yourvar["path"][0]."<br>"; //Complete path of the file with key 0 (dir + filename)
echo $yourvar["directory"][0]."<br>"; //Directory of the file with key 0
echo $yourvar["filename"][0]."<br>"; //Filename of the file with key 0
?>
Note that the parameter of the function is not necessary. If you don't give any, it will scan from the returned value of getcwd() function.

scandir() with regexp matching on file name and sorting options based on stat().
function myscandir($dir, $exp, $how='name', $desc=0)
{
$r = array();
$dh = @opendir($dir);
if ($dh) {
while (($fname = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (preg_match($exp, $fname)) {
$stat = stat("$dir/$fname");
$r[$fname] = ($how == 'name')? $fname: $stat[$how];
}
}
closedir($dh);
if ($desc) {
arsort($r);
}
else {
asort($r);
}
}
return(array_keys($r));
}
$r = myscandir('./book/', '/^article[0-9]{4}\.txt$/i', 'ctime', 1);
print_r($r);
files can be sorted on name and stat() attributes, ascending and descending:
name file name
dev device number
ino inode number
mode inode protection mode
nlink number of links
uid userid of owner
gid groupid of owner
rdev device type, if inode device *
size size in bytes
atime time of last access (Unix timestamp)
mtime time of last modification (Unix timestamp)
ctime time of last inode change (Unix timestamp)
blksize blocksize of filesystem IO *
blocks number of blocks allocated
