Readdir() only reporting 5 out of 365 files and/or sub-folders in directory?

PHP
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using opendir() and then readdir() to get the contents of a folder (be it files or sub-folders).

The strange thing about the code below is that it works but the array it passes back only ever contains 5 elements (i.e. five files). Normally one would think it must not be iterating through all the files/folders thus not filling the array up but $count below echo’s out from 0 up to 364, which just so happens to be correct since there’s 365 elements in total in the searched folder.

I know this for a fact since I do the below:

$result = getDirectoryList($dir);	
	
for ($i = 0; $i <= sizeof($result); $i++) {
    
     echo "<br>" .$result['$name '][$i]."<br>";
	
}

…and sizeof($result) is always 4 (5 elements -> id’s 0-4).

My questions are:
a) Where is it going wrong?
b) Given that mime_content_type() is now an oldie how to successfully get the file mime type via finfo() so it yields a string such as “text/css”?

Code follows:

class Directory_Data
	{
		public $name; 
		public $type; 
		public $size; 
		public $lastmod; 		
	}
	
	
function getDirectoryList($dir)
  {
  	
	//holds all directory data 
	$directory_data[] = new Directory_Data();	
	
	//set directory contents counter
	$count = 0;
  
       //add trailing slash if missing
       if(substr($dir, -1) != "/") $dir .= "/";	


    //open pointer to directory and read list of files
	$directory_handle = opendir($dir) or die("Opps: Failed opening directory $dir for reading");
		
		//while the directory contains files or sub-directories
		while (($file = readdir($directory_handle)) !== false) { 
		
			if (($file <> ".") && ($file <> "..")) { 			
			
				//if we have stumbled across a sub-directory
				if(is_dir("$dir$file")) {		

					echo "Count (Folder): " .$count ."<br>";
									
					$directory_data['$name '][$count] = "$dir$file/";	
					//$directory_data['$type '][$count] =  filetype("$dir$file");
					$directory_data['$size '][$count] = 0;
					$directory_data['$lastmod '][$count] = filemtime("$dir$file");						
					
				}
				
				//if we have stumbled across a file
				elseif (is_readable("$dir$file")) {
				
					echo "Count (File): " .$count ."<br>";
				
					$directory_data['$name '][$count] ="$dir$file";	
					//$directory_data['$type '][$count] =  filetype("$dir$file");
					$directory_data['$size '][$count] = filesize("$dir$file");
					$directory_data['$lastmod '][$count] = filemtime("$dir$file");			
				
				}
				
				$count++;					
				
			}
		}	
	
	//close the directory pointer
	closedir($directory_handle);
	
	return $directory_data;
}

P.S. Yes directory listing is denied in my .htaccess but then I wouldn’t be able to read any files or folders. It will display the file/folder names if I echo them out within the readdir() loop, just not outside once the function quits and passes back an array. There’s also no PHP errors to signal a security access denied status.

Thank you,
