Answer 1

My suggestion is to try using Symfony's finder library as it makes alot of this much easier and is easily installed via composer here are the docs

http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/finder.html

and here is a simple example of something similar to what i think you're asking

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$finder = new Finder();
$directories = $finder->directories()
                      ->in(__DIR__)
                      ->ignoreDotFiles(true)
                      ->exclude(array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four'))
                      ->depth(0);

foreach ($directories as $dir) {
    echo '
';
    print_r($dir->getRealPath());
    echo '
';
}

That example will return all directories without transversing into them to change that change or remove the depth.

To get all files in that directory do something similar to this

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$finder = new Finder();
$directories = $finder->directories()
                      ->in(__DIR__)
                      ->ignoreDotFiles(true)
                      ->exclude(array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four'))
                      ->depth(0);

foreach ($directories as $dir) {
    $files = $finder->files()
                    ->ignoreDotFiles(true)
                    ->in($dir->getRealPath());

    foreach ($files as $file) {
        echo '
';
        print_r($file);
        echo '
';
    }
}
