PHP: searching for files in a directory

Question

Is it possible to find a file in C: / (windows) using php script? If yes, is there any tutorial on sample code / workaround.

Edit: The web server is on the same PC as C: / Directory.

thank

Answer 1

If you are looking for a recursive search, you might be interested in spl RecursiveDirectoryIterator .

<?php
$path = 'C:/';
$file = 'issetup.exe';

$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path);
$rit = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi);
foreach( $rit as $path=>$info ) {
  if ( $file===$info->getFilename() ) {
    echo $path, "\n";
    break;
  }
}

Answer 2

While you want to look in only one directory, then yes, encoding it using PHP functions is faster. But if you want to search recursively through the tree for a specific file name, then it will probably be much faster to lay out:

$cmd="dir $fname /s"
chdir("C:/");
$found=explode("\n",`$cmd`);

Answer 3

scandir , :

$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$files = scandir($path);
echo '<pre>';
if (count($files) > 2) {
  // first 2 entries are '.' and '..'
  $files = array_slice($files, 2);
  print_r($files);
}
echo '</pre>';
