You can use PHP’s built in directory iterator (in php 5 or 7) to loop over a directory and perform operations on the files easily. This code is also checking to make sure that $file
is indeed a file with the isFile()
method.
// path you'd like to loop over $folderPath = "/home/myfiles/20161212"; $dir_iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($folderPath); $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir_iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); foreach ($iterator as $file) { if ($file->isFile()) { echo("{$file}\n"); } }
