php - recursive directory iterator results: filter out specific characters from resultant paths -

i'm trying return unique instances paths specified directory, recursively.

i'm using recursivedirectoryiterator. omit instances of paths contain '.' in them, i'm having trouble.

here's i've got going test:

<?php  function test($dir){      $dirarray = []; // array store dirs     $path = realpath($dir);      $dirs = new recursivedirectoryiterator($path, filesystemiterator::skip_dots);     $objects = new recursiveiteratoriterator($dirs, recursiveiteratoriterator::self_first);      // loop through objects , store names in dirarray[]     foreach($objects $name => $object){         if($object->isdir() && strpos($object->getbasename(), '.') !== true) {           $dirarray[] = $name;           echo "test: " . $object->getbasename() . "\n";         }     }      print_r($dirarray); }  test('/some/dir');  ?> 

this code nearly need. returns unique dirs, includes '.' in path name.

just add checker inside, , try use ->getpathname() instead:

if($object->isdir() && strpos($object->getpathname(), '.') === false) {     // stuff } 

this means, if directory , if pathname not contain .
