I am looking to find a PHP programmer to help program a website. I advertised in Craig’s list and other places and have a large number of resumes. I am not a computer programmer, and have very little knowledge regarding programming.

How to list all files within all subdirectories of a directory using PHP?

php
blackmamba5069 asked:


I hope that makes sense…

Basically, I want to scan through one particular directory, which contains several subdirectories which all contain several text files, and list each one of these text files.

How can I do this? Just looking for a quick and simple answer seeing as I’m still new to PHP!

Do I have to worry about race conditions when manipulating files in php?

php
hughmanwho asked:


I would like each user of my website to open up a text file, read in what is in the file, and write out something different. This should be done in order so that no two users are editing the file at the same time. Do I need to worry about multi-threading and race conditions while using php?

Thanks!

Roberto
