Bug description: RecursiveDirectoryIterator is not recursive
Description:
------------
Hopefully, my simple brain can explain this properly.
I want to use the RecursiveDirectoryIterator class.
Iterator = get "elements" from a "list", one at a time.
Directory = a "list" of files and directories (and links for those *ix
bods).
Recursion = Repeat until complete on any "element" which contains a
"list".
So, DirectoryIterator should return a list of files/directories for a
single directory.
Which it does.
<?php
$objDI = new DirectoryIterator("C:/");
foreach($objDI as $key => $value)
{
echo "$key $value\n";
}
?>
produces a list of all the files and directories in the root of my C:.
Just like I would expect.
A RecursiveDirectoryIterator
So, in my limited understanding (OK, I'm being facetous - I've been
fighting Crystal Reports all day, so please give me a break), by using the
RecursiveDirectoryIterator, I would expect to get a list of all the files
and directories and sub-directories from C:\ onwards, a complete
treewalk.
<?php
$objRDI = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator("C:/");
foreach($objRDI as $key => $value)
{
echo "$key\n";
}
?>
But no.
All this does is print the same list as DirectoryIterator. Admittedly, the
name is now a key and the value is an object, but how is this recursive?
Either proper documentation for RecursiveDirectoryIterator (what is it
recursing?) or a change to the name as it is NOT recursing is
appropriate.
I've read the documentation at Helly, but it makes no sense as there no
examples. It looks like I have to implement the recursion myself, so what
does the class recurse?
Hopefully you can see my problem.
Richard Quadling.
