dir
Return an instance of the Directory class
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
Directory {
Directory(string directory);
string path ;
resource handle ;
string read();
void rewind();
void close();
}A pseudo-object oriented mechanism for reading a directory. The given directory is opened. Two properties are available once the directory has been opened. The handle property can be used with other directory functions such as readdir(), rewinddir() and closedir(). The path property is set to path the directory that was opened. Three methods are available: read, rewind and close.
Examples
Example 504. dir() example
Please note the fashion in which dir::read()'s
return value is checked in the example below. We are explicitly
testing whether the return value is identical to (equal to and of
the same type as - see
Comparison Operators for more information) FALSE since
otherwise, any directory entry whose name evaluates to FALSE will
stop the loop.
<?php
$d = dir("/etc/php5");
echo "Handle: " . $d->handle . "\n";
echo "Path: " . $d->path . "\n";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
echo $entry."\n";
}
$d->close();
?>The above example will output something similar to:
Handle: Resource id #2
Path: /etc/php5
