Using function directory_map - El Forum - 07-20-2008

[eluser]polaris1927[/eluser]
I am using the
Code:
directory_map($path)
function to build an array list of directories and sub-directories below $path.

However, it seems
Code:
directory_map($path)
does not return the path for sub directories.

My question is this: is there a way that I can get the full sub-directory paths when using directory_map?

Thanks

Are you sure. Works just that way for me. Files are strings and folders area keyed arrays, so make sure in your loop your using $key => $value in your loop. If $value is an array, $key is your folder name.

Thanks for the reply

Yes, I am able to get the folder and file names, but I want the path to those sub folders. for example

if $path = '/home/test';

--Main folder (array)
--- Sub folder 1 (array)
------- sub folder 1.1 (array)
--- Sub fouler 2 (array)
------- Sub folder 2.1 (array)
------- sub folder 2.2 (array)

Using directory_map returns folders as arrays; I need the actual path of the sub folders

/home/test/Main folder
/home/test/Main folder/Sub folder 1
/home/test/Main folder/sub folder 1/sub folder 1.1

Well then, recurse the array and store each level along the way.

What would be the best approach to acieve this, could you post an example code structure to explain what you mean?

Thanks

By what means do you wish to retrieve the structure? Do you want to fetch a string with a certain folders complete structure, or do you wish to fetch an array where each value is a full path to a folder in the map?

Where each value is a full path.

I loves me some recursion!

Call this function like you would call directory_map(), or call it with 1) A folder path to prefix your array values and 2) a map already returned by directory_map(). Be sure to load directory helper first, or better yet, put this and directory_map() in your own helper.

Code:
function directory_map_paths($wp = '', $map = array())
{
   static $paths = array();
   if (!is_array($map) or !count($map))
   {
      if ($wp)
      {
         $map = directory_map($wp);
         $wp = '';
      }
      else
      {
         show_error('No map or working path given to remap.');
      }
   }
   if (count($map))
   {
      foreach ($map as $k => $v)
      {
         if (is_array($v))
         {
            directory_map_paths($wp . ($wp ? '/' : '') . $k, $v); // Recurse
         }
         else
         {
            $paths[] = $wp . ($wp ? '/' : '') . $v;
         }
      }
   }
   return $paths;
}
