Öntanımlı Sabitler

FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_PATHNAME

Makes FilesystemIterator::current() return the pathname.

FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO

Makes FilesystemIterator::current() return an SplFileInfo instance.

FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_SELF

Makes FilesystemIterator::current() return $this (the FilesystemIterator).

FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_MODE_MASK

Masks FilesystemIterator::current()

FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME

Makes FilesystemIterator::key() return the pathname.

FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_FILENAME

Makes FilesystemIterator::key() return the filename.

Makes RecursiveDirectoryIterator::hasChildren() follow symlinks.

FilesystemIterator::KEY_MODE_MASK

Masks FilesystemIterator::key()

FilesystemIterator::NEW_CURRENT_AND_KEY

Same as FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_FILENAME | FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO.

FilesystemIterator::OTHER_MODE_MASK

Mask used for FilesystemIterator::getFlags() and FilesystemIterator::setFlags().

FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS

Skips dot files (. and ..).

FilesystemIterator::UNIX_PATHS

Makes paths use Unix-style forward slash irrespective of system default. Note that the path that is passed to the constructor is not modified.

You may be wondering, like I did, what is the difference between this class and DirectoryIterator?

When you iteterate using DirectoryIterator each "value" returned is the same DirectoryIterator object. The internal state is changed so when you call isDir(), getPathname(), etc the correct information is returned. If you were to ask for a key when iterating you will get an integer index value.

FilesystemIterator (and RecursiveDirectoryIterator) on the other hand returns a new, different SplFileInfo object for each iteration step. The key is the full pathname of the file. This is by default. You can change what is returned for the key or value using the "flags" arguement to the constructor.

Here's a great little drop in replacement for FilesystemIterator I wrote to easily Iterate your filesystem, including:

* Sorting - using ArrayIterator
* Regex Matching - using RegexIterator
* Limiting - using LimitIterator

It's fully chainable

<?php

// Sort by filemtime
$files = (new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByMTime();

// Sort by filemtime -> Limit output to 10
$files = (new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByMTime()->limit(0, 10);

// Sort by filemtime -> Only get CSV files -> Limit to 10
$files = (new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByMTime()->match('/csv$/')->limit(0, 10);

// Sort by filemtime -> Only get CSV files -> Limit to 10 -> and back to sorting by Filename
$files = (new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByMTime()->match('/csv$/')->limit(0, 10)->sortByFilename();

// Sort by any of SplFileInfo's get*() methods i.e. Owner, CTime, Basename, ATime, Perms, Type, isFile, anything
$files = (new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByOwner();

// Foreach
foreach ((new AdvancedFilesystemIterator('/path/to/files'))->sortByMTime()->match('/csv$/')->limit(0, 10) AS $file)
{
print
$file->getFilename() . "<br>\n";
}

// The Class
class AdvancedFilesystemIterator extends ArrayIterator
{
public function
__construct(string $path, int $flags = FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME | FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO | FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS)
{
parent::__construct(iterator_to_array(new FilesystemIterator($path, $flags)));
}

public function
__call(string $name, array $arguments)
{
if (
preg_match('/^sortBy(.*)/', $name, $m)) return $this->sort('get' . $m[1]);
throw new
MemberAccessException('Method ' . $methodName . ' not exists');
}

public function
sort($method)
{
if (!
method_exists('SplFileInfo', $method)) throw new InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('Method "%s" does not exist in SplFileInfo', $method));

$this->uasort(function(SplFileInfo $a, SplFileInfo $b) use ($method) { return (is_string($a->$method()) ? strnatcmp($a->$method(), $b->$method()) : $b->$method() - $a->$method()); });

return
$this;
}

public function
limit(int $offset = 0, int $limit = -1)
{
return
parent::__construct(iterator_to_array(new LimitIterator($this, $offset, $limit))) ?? $this;
}

public function match(
string $regex, int $mode = RegexIterator::MATCH, int $flags = 0, int $preg_flags = 0)
{
return
parent::__construct(iterator_to_array(new RegexIterator($this, $regex, $mode, $flags, $preg_flags))) ?? $this;
}
}

DirectoryIterator returns virtual directories "." and ".." in a loop.
But FilesystemIterator ignores them.

Here's the difference between DirectoryIterator and FileSystemIterator.

FileSystemIterator extends DirectoryIterator, inheriting all of it's functionalities, but extending it with additional options and features:

- Additional flags and options (e.g., FileSystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS to skip . and .. entries).
- Offers more control and flexibility over the iteration process.
- Suitable for more complex directory traversal requirements where additional control is needed.

So if you just need the contents of a directory, use DirectoryIterator.

If you need to do directory traversal, use FileSystemIterator.
