PHP list of specific files in a directory
PhpFileListDirectoryPhp Problem Overview
The following code will list all the file in a directory
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if (($file != ".")
&& ($file != ".."))
{
$thelist .= '<LI><a href="'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
<P>List of files:</p>
<UL>
<P><?=$thelist?></p>
</UL>
While this is very simple code it does the job.
I'm now looking for a way to list ONLY files that have .xml (or .XML) at the end, how do I do that?

Solution 2 - Php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && strtolower(substr($file, strrpos($file, '.') + 1)) == 'xml')
{
$thelist .= '<li><a href="'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a></li>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
A simple way to look at the extension using substr and strrpos
Solution 3 - Php
$it = new RegexIterator(new DirectoryIterator("."), "/\\.xml\$/i"));
foreach ($it as $filename) {
//...
}
You can also use the recursive variants of the iterators to traverse an entire directory hierarchy.
Solution 4 - Php
I use this code:
<?php
{
//foreach (glob("images/*.jpg") as $large)
foreach (glob("*.xml") as $filename) {
//echo "$filename\n";
//echo str_replace("","","$filename\n");
echo str_replace("","","<a href='$filename'>$filename</a>\n");
}
}
?>
Solution 5 - Php
you can mix between glob() function & pathinfo() function like below.
the below code will show files information for specific extension "pdf"
foreach ( glob("*.pdf") as $file ) {
$file_info = pathinfo( getcwd().'/'.$file );
echo $file_info['dirname'], "<br>";
echo $file_info['basename'], "<br>";
echo $file_info['extension'], "<br>";
echo $file_info['filename'], "<br>";
echo '<hr>';
}

LIST FILES and FOLDERS in a directory (Full Code):
p.s. you have to uncomment the 5th line if you want only for specific extensions
<?PHP
# The current directory
$directory = dir("./");
# If you want to turn on Extension Filter, then uncomment this:
### $allowed_ext = array(".sample", ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".txt", ".doc", ".xls");

You should use glob.
glob('*.xml')
More about using glob and advanced filtering:

Solution 8 - Php
Simplest answer is to put another condition '.xml' == strtolower(substr($file, -3)).
But I'd recommend using glob instead too.

The $files array will get all files in the directory which the specified extension
$directory = 'pathto/directory';
$files = array();
$allowed_ext = array( "xml", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "txt", "doc", "xls","csv");
// Check if the directory exists or not
if (file_exists($directory) && is_dir($directory)) {
// Get the files in the directory
$scan_contents = scandir($directory);
// Filter out the current (.) and parent (..) directories
$files_array = array_diff($scan_contents, array('.', '..'));
// Get each files of our directory with line break
foreach ($files_array as $file) {
//Get the file path
$file_path = "$directory/$file";
// Get the file extension
$file_ext = strtolower(pathinfo($file_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
if (in_array($file_ext, $allowed_ext) ) {
$files[] = $file_path;
}
}
}
echo '<pre>$files:-';
print_r($files);
echo '</pre>';
Solution 10 - Php
You can extend the RecursiveFilterIterator class like this:
class ExtensionFilter extends RecursiveFilterIterator
{
/**
* Hold the extensions pass to the class constructor
*/
protected $extensions;
/**
* ExtensionFilter constructor.
*
* @param RecursiveIterator $iterator
* @param string|array $extensions Extension to filter as an array ['php'] or
* as string with commas in between 'php, exe, ini'
*/
public function __construct(RecursiveIterator $iterator, $extensions)
{
parent::__construct($iterator);
$this->extensions = is_array($extensions) ? $extensions : array_map('trim', explode(',', $extensions));
}
public function accept()
{
if ($this->hasChildren()) {
return true;
}
return $this->current()->isFile() &&
in_array(strtolower($this->current()->getExtension()), $this->extensions);
}
public function getChildren()
{
return new self($this->getInnerIterator()->getChildren(), $this->extensions);
}
Now you can instantiate RecursiveDirectoryIterator with path as an argument like this:
$iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('\path\to\dir');
$iterator = new ExtensionFilter($iterator, 'xml, php, ini');
foreach($iterator as $file)
{
echo $file . '<br />';
}
This will list files under the current folder only.
To get the files in subdirectories also,
pass the $iterator ( ExtensionFIlter Iterator) to RecursiveIteratorIterator as argument:
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
Now run the foreach loop on this iterator. You will get the files with specified extension
Note:-- Also make sure to run the ExtensionFilter before RecursiveIteratorIterator, otherwise you will get all the files
