Re: something like grep

Hi,

You can use the opendir and readdir functions to traverse a directory
tree. There's an example in the doc at php.net/opendir.

If you want to do a text search within a directory tree, you can use
the egrep shell command with the -r (recursive) option on most
linuxes.

John Peters

I'd like to open a directory and spider all the subdirectories and files.

What is the php term for doing this?

Seems like it should be here:

Perhaps I'm just having a bad day!
