(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7)
Examples:
Available callback arguments
The callback should accept up to three arguments: the current item, the current key and the iterator, respectively.
<?php /** * Callback for RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator * * @param $current Current item's value * @param $key Current item's key * @param $iterator Iterator being filtered * @return boolean TRUE to accept the current item, FALSE otherwise */ function my_callback($current, $key, $iterator) { // Your filtering code here } ?>
Recursive callback basic example
Filtering a recursive iterator generally involves two conditions. The first is that, to allow recursion, the callback function should return TRUE
if the current iterator item has children. The second is the normal filter condition, such as a file size or extension check as in the example below.
<?php $dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__); // Filter large files ( > 100MB) $files = new RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator($dir, function ($current, $key, $iterator) { // Allow recursion if ($iterator->hasChildren()) { return TRUE; } // Check for large file if ($current->isFile() && $current->getSize() > 104857600) { return TRUE; } return FALSE; }); foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($files) as $file) { echo $file->getPathname() . PHP_EOL; } ?>
