Find all .php files in a folder recursively

Question

Using PHP, how can I find all .php files in a folder or its subfolders (of any depth)?

Answer 1

just add something like:

function listFolderFiles($dir){ $ffs = scandir($dir); $i = 0; $list = array(); foreach ( $ffs as $ff ){ if ( $ff != '.' && $ff != '..' ){ if ( strlen($ff)>=5 ) { if ( substr($ff, -4) == '.php' ) { $list[] = $ff; //echo dirname($ff) . $ff . "<br/>"; echo $dir.'/'.$ff.'<br/>'; } } if( is_dir($dir.'/'.$ff) ) listFolderFiles($dir.'/'.$ff); } } return $list; } $files = array(); $files = listFolderFiles(dirname(__FILE__)); 

Answer 2

You can use RecursiveDirectoryIterator and RecursiveIteratorIterator :

 $di = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__,RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS); $it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($di); foreach($it as $file) { if (pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == "php") { echo $file, PHP_EOL; } } 

Answer 3

Very late. But I think that it will be useful for those who have landed here after the search.

I changed the code a little created by supajason Since the provided code did not return a consistent result: Mostly because of the nomenclature used.

I also added some functionality.

Hope this is helpful!
