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.

Beispiel #2 Recursive callback basic example

<?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;
}

?>

Here is a code that may implement similar functionality in PHP 5.2 or 5.3 :

<?php

class RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator extends RecursiveFilterIterator {
    
    public function __construct ( RecursiveIterator $iterator, $callback ) {
        
        $this->callback = $callback;
        
        parent::__construct($iterator);
        
    }
    
    public function accept () {
        
        $callback = $this->callback;
        
        return $callback(parent::current(), parent::key(), parent::getInnerIterator());
        
    }
    
    public function getChildren () {
        
        return new self($this->getInnerIterator()->getChildren(), $this->callback);
        
    }
    
}

?>

Note that the following filters out both files and directories whos names start with the letter "T". The important thing here is that since the function returns false for a directory entry whos name starts with T, the directory is also not traversed recursively.

<?php
$doesntStartWithLetterT = function ($current) {
    return $current->getFileName()[0] !== 'T';
};

$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__);
$files = new RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator($rdi, $doesntStartWithLetterT);
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($files) as $file) {
    echo $file->getPathname() . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
