The RecursiveFilterIterator class

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduction

This abstract iterator filters out unwanted values for a RecursiveIterator. This class should be extended to implement custom filters. The RecursiveFilterIterator::accept() must be implemented in the subclass.

Recursive directory/file listing, filteres ".svn":

<?php

class MyRecursiveFilterIterator extends RecursiveFilterIterator {

public static
$FILTERS = array(
'.svn',
);

public function
accept() {
return !
in_array(
$this->current()->getFilename(),
self::$FILTERS,
true
);
}

}

$dirItr = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/sample/path');
$filterItr = new MyRecursiveFilterIterator($dirItr);
$itr = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($filterItr, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach (
$itr as $filePath => $fileInfo) {
echo
$fileInfo->getFilename() . PHP_EOL;
}

?>

I had to create a filter to get values greater than a certain number in a multidimensional array.

Hope someone else finds it helpful:

<?php
class GreaterThanFilter extends RecursiveFilterIterator {
protected
$limit;

public function
__construct(RecursiveIterator $recursiveIter, $limit) {
$this->limit = $limit;
parent::__construct($recursiveIter);
}
public function
accept() {
return
$this->hasChildren() || strlen($this->current()) >= $this->limit;
}
public function
getChildren() {
return new
self($this->getInnerIterator()->getChildren(), $this->limit);
}
}
$iter = new RecursiveArrayIterator($array);
$filter = new GreaterThanFilter($iter, 5);

foreach(new
RecursiveIteratorIterator($filter) as $key => $value)
{
echo
$value . "\n";
}
?>
