PHP- LIST ALL DIRECTORIES/FOLDERS FROM A SPECIFIED LOCATION

This is a quick extension/counterpart to my existing blog post that explains how to List All Files In A Directory in PHP. But instead of listing all files, I’m quickly going to jot down how to list all directories/folders in a specified location.

Someone had asked in the comments section how to do it, so I thought I’d quickly write a blog post about it. It’s actually not much different from the code I used to list all files in a directory- all that’s required is an extra function, is_dir. The PHP code is very simple and only requires a small amount of code. I’ve seen a lot of examples on other forums/websites that use a ridiculous amount of code to get the same result, and i’m not quite sure why.

Here’s how to list all files in a directory

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

//path to directory to scan $directory = "index_files/";   //get all files in specified directory $files = glob($directory . "*");   //print each file name foreach($files as $file) { //check to see if the file is a folder/directory if(is_dir($file)) { echo $file; } }
