File creation time
I want to get all the files in a directory along with its date of creation in array.
I saw the scandir function, but it returns even the directory which I don't want. I also figured out that filemtime($filename) function can return the file created date. Just not able to put it together.
in these days of PHP > 5 you should be using the provided classes for this kind of thing. For this particular task you should be using the FilesystemIterator for example:-
$iterator = new FilesystemIterator('D:/dev/');
foreach($iterator as $fileInfo){
if($fileInfo->isFile()){
$cTime = new DateTime();
$cTime->setTimestamp($fileInfo->getCTime());
echo $fileInfo->getFileName() . " file Created " . $cTime->format('Y-m-d h:i:s') . "<br/>\n";
}
if($fileInfo->isDir()){
$cTime = new DateTime();
$cTime->setTimestamp($fileInfo->getMTime());
echo $fileInfo->getFileName() . " dir Modified " . $cTime->format('Y-m-d h:i:s') . "<br/>\n";
}
}
Here $fileInfo is an instance of SplFileInfo which can give you all the information about a file or directory you could ever want.
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo filemtime($file)." ".$file;
}
closedir($handle);
}
Use scandir to get all the files and sub-directory of main directory
then use is_file function of php.
If you want to access specific extensions file please use glob function of php
Here is the example :

I hope this helps.
