WaldScan is a PHP 5 class that will recursively scan the given directory for a
list of selected file types. This can scan your directories for media files,
documents and/or images. You are required to pass a valid full path directory or
the DOCUMENT_ROOT will be used for the root if nothing is passed. A list of
default banned directories has been set to avoid potentially dangerous results
for you and I; You don't want someone to get access to your /etc, /var or
/private directories do you?
These directories can be cleared if you need to use those directories for an
PHP CLI or PHP-GTK utility.
This class has many uses for any web page that serves files over http/https, a
CLI program that does batch processing of files or in cron jobs for caching file
data for faster access. getID3 is a great project that is required to work with
this class for accessing meta data in many media file formats; caching the id3
data, etc to an SQLite3 database to greatly improve the performance of your
application. This class can be a little slow scanning many files stored on a
network share (over wifi), just keep this in mind if you want to use network shares
on a live website with many users and no cron Job to do the caching.
look at the WaldScan.tester.php to get a better idea of how this class functions.
when you open it up, edit the $test variable to a directory on your server or
share mounted on your server and edit the $ext variable to a filetype list that
you want to view
