I have been trying to figure out a way to list all files contained within a directory. I'm not quite good enough with php to solve it on my own so hopefully someone here can help me out.
I need a simple php script that will load all filenames contained within my images directory into an array. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here's what worked best for me when trying to script this (in case anyone else comes across this like I did):
$ pecl -d php_suffix=5.6 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>
$ pecl -d php_suffix=7.0 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>
$ pecl -d php_suffix=7.1 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>
The -d php_suffix=<version> piece allows you to set config values at run time vs pre-setting them with pecl config-set. The uninstall -r bit does not actually uninstall it (from the docs):
vagrant@homestead:~$ pecl help uninstall
pecl uninstall [options] [channel/]<package> ...
Uninstalls one or more PEAR packages. More than one package may be
specified at once. Prefix with channel name to uninstall from a
channel not in your default channel (pecl.php.net)
Options:
...
-r, --register-only
do not remove files, only register the packages as not installed
...
The uninstall line is necessary otherwise installing it will remove any previously installed version, even if it was for a different PHP version (ex: Installing an extension for PHP 7.0 would remove the 5.6 version if the package was still registered as installed).
I know for a fact that os.stat functions well on both windows and linux.

However, to fit your functionality, you could do:
You can use st_atime to access most recent access and st_ctime for file creation time.
import os,time
def get_information(directory):
file_list = []
for i in os.listdir(directory):
a = os.stat(os.path.join(directory,i))
file_list.append([i,time.ctime(a.st_atime),time.ctime(a.st_ctime)]) #[file,most_recent_access,created]
return file_list
print get_information("/")
I'm on a mac and I get this,
[['.dbfseventsd', 'Thu Apr 4 18:39:35 2013', 'Thu Apr 4 18:39:35 2013'], ['.DocumentRevisions-V100', 'Wed May 15 00:00:00 2013', 'Sat Apr 13 18:11:00 2013'],....]
I believe you're looking for the existing method GetFileSystemInfos(string, SearchOptions). If you specify AllDirectories as the SearchOptions value it will recursively search the passed in folder.
For Example:
public static List<FileSystemInfo> GetAllFilesAndDirectories ( string dir ) {
DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(dir);
FileSystemInfo[] all = info.GetFileSystemInfos("*", SearchOptions.AllDirectories);
return new List<FileSystemInfo>(all);
}
If you want to write it out the long way though you can do the following
public static List<FileSystemInfo> GetAllFilesAndDirectories ( string dir ) {
int i = 0;
List<DirectoryInfo> toProcess = new List<DirectoryInfo>();
List<FileSystemInfo> list = new List<FileSystemInfo>();
toProcess.Add(new DirectoryInfo(dir));
while ( i < toProcess.Count ) {
DirectoryInfo curDir = toProcess[i];
foreach ( FileSystemInfo curFile in curDir.GetFileSystemInfos() ) {
list.Add(curFile);
DirectoryInfo maybe = curFile as DirectoryInfo;
if ( maybe != null ) {
toProcess.Add(maybe);
}
i++;
}
return list;
}
FileSystemInfo[] all = info.GetFileSystemInfos("*", SearchOptions.AllDirectories);
return new List<FileSystemInfo>(all);
}
Never used any of those, but they look interesting..
Take a look at Gearman as well.. more overhead in systems like these but you get other cool stuff :) Guess it depends on your needs ..
Try glob
Something like:
