Search Directory by PHP

i used this code to Search directory

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('./')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    $filesplit = explode(".", $file);
    $check = $filesplit[0];
$keyword=$_GET['search'];
if(ereg($keyword, $check))
      {
         $check .= ".$filesplit[1]";
         $valid[] = $check;
      }
}
for($index = 0; $index < count($valid); $index++)
{
  echo"<br>$valid[$index]";
}
closedir($handle);
 
 }
?>

PHP:

but it only search the main directory, not the Subdirectories.... can someone please customize it so that Subdirectories also be searched too...

 

I read you thread, sorry I don't have the time o customize your script but I suggest that you write some recursive function that returns the results from the main directory plus the results of the function on subdirectories
somthing like :

function recursive_search($dir){

    //Lines of codes that search for the file

    //Lines of codes that returns the subdirectories

    //Return  $results and recursive_search($subdirectoris)
}

PHP:

 

This should do the job:

<?php

$matches = Array();
// Search /www for index.html files
find_files('/www/', "/index.html/", $matches);
// $matches contains matched files with full path
print_r($matches);

function find_files($path, $pattern, &$matches) {
  $path = rtrim(str_replace("\\", "/", $path), '/') . '/';
  $entries = Array();
  $dir = dir($path);
  while (false !== ($entry = $dir->read())) {
    $entries[] = $entry;
  }
  $dir->close();
  foreach ($entries as $entry) {
    $fullname = $path . $entry;
    if ($entry != '.' && $entry != '..' && is_dir($fullname)) {
      find_files($fullname, $pattern, $matches);
    } else if (is_file($fullname) && preg_match($pattern, $entry)) {
      $matches[] = $fullname;
    }
  }
}

?>

PHP:

The function find_files should be passed the directory to search, the pattern to match (a regular expression) and the array to save any matched filenames in.
