directory function
Function to open a directory : opendir()
Function to close a directory : closedir()
Function to read a directory : readdir()
The parameters of opendir and closedir are directory paths.
Let's look at an example.
/htdocs/dir.php
<?php echo "directory function example<br />"; $dir = '/Applications/'; //$dir = "c:/windows/"; //if you use windows OS if(is_dir($dir)){ if($dirop = opendir($dir)){ while(($filerd = readdir($dirop)) != false){ echo " {$filerd} <br />"; } echo "-------------------------------------- <br />"; } } else { echo "{$dir} does not exist.<br />"; } closedir($dirop); ?>
Result(for example MacOS)
Result(for example windows)
4line - Store the directory name in $dir.
7line - is_dir() is a function that determines whether a directory exists.
$dir is determined to be true and the following is done
8line - Use $dirop as a variable to open a directory.
$dirop = Opens a directory in opendir($dir) and outputs the folders and files in it while looping while(($filerd = readdir($dirop))! = false).
Finding and relocating directories getcwd(0, chdir()
Use getcwd() to find out where the current directory is, and then use chdir() to specify the path of the directory to change.
/htdocs/getcwd.php
<?php echo "getcwd() , chdir() <br />"; echo "current location <br />"; $path = getcwd(); echo "{$path} <br />"; chdir("/Applications/"); //chdir("c:/temp/"); //if you use windows OS $path = getcwd(); echo "current location <br />"; echo " $path <br />"; ?>
