PHP directory and file information in an array -

so there user directory space. each user gets own space , can upload .gif, jpg, png, , mp4 files them.

the user can create , manage own files in many directories or sub-directories wish.

i have no idea how need end result have no example code. need end result follows:

foreach ($file $file) {     $data[] = array('type' => 'image',      'path' => $file["path"],     'name' => $file[name],      'time' => $file["update_time"]); } 

how details directories keeping in mind have no idea structure after base directory.

also, need exclude directories , files begin . (such .htaccess, there others)

here go. usa recursive function iterate on each directory. if directory recursion, otherwise , store data:

$directorytoscan = './'; $results = []; $tree = getdirenties($directorytoscan, $results); var_dump($tree);  function getdirenties($directory, &$results) {     $entries = scandir($directory);     foreach ($entries $item) {         if (!in_array($item, ['.', '..']) && substr($item, 0, 1) !== '.') {             $path = $directory . '/' . $item;             if (is_dir($path)) {                 getdirenties($path, $results);             } else {                 $pathinfo = pathinfo($path);                 $name = $pathinfo['filename'];                 $type = 'unknown';                 if (!empty($pathinfo['extension'])) {                     $name .= "." . $pathinfo['extension'];                     switch (strtolower($pathinfo['extension'])) {                         case "gif":                         case "jpg":                         case "png":                         case "jpeg":                         case "bmp":                             //etc..                             $type = 'image';                             break;                         case "mp4":                             $type = 'media';                             break;                     }                 }                 $data = [                     'name' => $name,                     'path' => $pathinfo['dirname'],                     'type' => $type,                     'time' => filemtime($path)                 ];                 $results[] = $data;             }         }     }     return $results; }
