• List files from a directory
• Filter for only directories, files or file types
• Sort and limit the listing items

Installing via Composer

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version:

composer.phar require jc21/filelist

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Using

use jc21\FileList;

$fileList = new FileList;

$items = $fileList->get('/path/to/files');

// Use the items array
print '<pre>';
foreach ($items as $item) {
    if ($item[FileList::KEY_TYPE] == FileList::TYPE_DIR) {
        print 'd' . "\t" . $item[FileList::KEY_NAME] . PHP_EOL;
    } else {
        print 'f' . "\t" . $item[FileList::KEY_NAME] . "\t" . $item[FileList::KEY_SIZE] . "\t" . date('Y-m-d', $item[FileList::KEY_DATE]) . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
print '</pre>';

Or to get only directories:

$items = $fileList->get('/path/to/files', FileList::TYPE_DIR);

Or only files:

$items = $fileList->get('/path/to/files', FileList::TYPE_FILE);

Or only files of a certain extension:

$extensions = array('jpg', 'png', 'jpeg', 'gif');
$items      = $fileList->get('/path/to/files', FileList::TYPE_DIR, FileList::KEY_NAME, FileList::ASC, null, $extensions);

Order by the Size descending:

$items = $fileList->get('/path/to/files', FileList::TYPE_DIR, FileList::KEY_SIZE, FileList::DESC);
