using glob() to look for all txt in directory

[Imaulle]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to make a little piece of code that will search for all files (including subdirectories) ending with .txt and set them to 777

 

 

foreach (glob("*.txt") as $file) {
system("chmod 777 '$file'");
}

 

 

Am I on the right path?

 

 

 

thanks

Close, however that will only get you the files in the current directory (not in any sub-directories). Try this:

 

<?php

$directory = 'sample';  // Replace with your starting directory
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory));

while($it->valid())
{
    if(strtolower(substr($it->getFilename(), -4)) == '.txt')
    {
        var_dump($it->key());  // Not really needed, just used for debugging
        chmod($it->key(), 0777);
    }
    $it->next();
}

that worked perfectly!

 

 

thank you!
