PHP List Directory structure and exclude some directories

Question

I have this PHP Code:

$rootpath = \'../admin/\';
$inner = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootpath);
$fileinfos = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($inner);

for         


        

Answer 1

I suggest using the RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator.

$directory = '../admin/';
$filter = array('.git');

$fileinfos = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
  new RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator(
    new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(
      $directory,
      RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS
    ),
    function ($fileInfo, $key, $iterator) use ($filter) {
      return $fileInfo->isFile() || !in_array($fileInfo->getBaseName(), $filter);
    }
  )
);

foreach($fileinfos as $pathname => $fileinfo) {
  //...
}

Answer 2

I would do it like this:

$excludes = array(
    'files' => array('file1.ext','file2.ext','fileN.ext'),
    'dirs' => array('dir1','dir2','dirN')
);

foreach ($directories as $current_dir) {
    if (!in_array($current_dir,$excludes['dirs'])) {
       // directory method
       foreach ($files as $current_file) {
            if (!in_array($current_file,$excludes['files'])) {
              // files method
            }
        }
    }
}
