Hi you have to use function and call function in itself
<ul class="nav side-menu">
<?php
function foldersList($folderName = NULL) {
$return = '';
foreach (glob('./server/sandro/' . $folderName . '*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $subfolder) {
// call function to check subfolders - don't forget write `/`
$subFolders = foldersList(basename($subfolder). '/');
$return .= '<li><a><i class="fa fa-home"></i>' . basename($subfolder) . '<span class="fa fa-chevron-down"></span></a>';
$return .= '<ul class="nav child_menu">';
// if subfolder exist add to return variable
$return .= $subFolders != '' ? $subFolders : '';
$return .= '</ul>';
$return .= '</li>';
}
return $return;
}
echo foldersList();
?>
</ul>
