But before going into deep about their use, let me introduce them and the SPL library. The SPL provides a series of classes for object-oriented data structures, iterators, file handlers, and other features. One of the pros is that Iterators are classes and so you can extend them to better fit your needs. Another advantage is that they have native methods that are really helpful in achieving many of the common task you might face and you have them in just one place.
Take as an example the use of FilesystemIterator among readdir , both of them will be used in a loop but while using readdir your entry will be nothing but a string, using FilesystemIterator you have an object that can provide you a lot of information about that file or directory size, owner, permissions and so on. So, in conclusion, my advice here is to follow the new best practices for the language. The first of them inherits from the DirectoryIterator while the others inherit from the FilesystemIterator.
They all have the same constructor which has just two parameters:. Using the FilesystemIterator is quite simple. The RegexIterator is used to filter another iterator based on a regular expression.
The RecursiveDirectoryIterator provides an interface for iterating recursively over filesystem directories. Thank You. The files are downloadable. Uh, where to begin? You wrote that you have created a file uploader and that the files are saved to a directory on your server.
Just drop it into your folder containing the uploaded files and run it. Then you should be able to figure out what is going on. Yeah, but then there are around such directories where each directory will have around some files. How do I solve that problem? To put this file with different file name inside each directory?
Any shortcuts? Let me give this a shot meanwhile and figure out the mechanism. Thank you. Edit: Just checked it out. Works like a charm. But I put this along with my directory which has index. So it shows all the folders and files. Clicking a link that points to a PDF or an Image file will not cause it to download to your hard drive directly.
It will only open the file in your browser. Further you can save it to your hard drive. However, zip and exe files are downloaded automatically to the hard drive by default.
You can force images or other kind of files to download directly to the user's hard drive using the PHP readfile function. Here we're going to create a simple image gallery that allows users to download the image files from the browser with a single mouse click.
