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.

    Class synopsis

    abstract class RecursiveFilterIterator extends FilterIterator implements RecursiveIterator {
    /* Methods */
    public __construct(RecursiveIterator $iterator)
    public getChildren(): ?RecursiveFilterIterator
    public hasChildren(): bool
    /* Inherited methods */
    public FilterIterator::accept(): bool
    public FilterIterator::current(): mixed
    public FilterIterator::key(): mixed
    public FilterIterator::next(): void
    public FilterIterator::rewind(): void
    public FilterIterator::valid(): bool
    public IteratorIterator::current(): mixed
    public IteratorIterator::getInnerIterator(): ?Iterator
    public IteratorIterator::key(): mixed
    public IteratorIterator::next(): void
    public IteratorIterator::rewind(): void
    public IteratorIterator::valid(): bool
    }

    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";
    }
    ?>
