This function w'd be enough for file list. Just make an ajax call to it, json_encode to output before send back to javascript
function scan($dir)
{
$output = array();
$handle = opendir($dir);
if ($handle != false) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ($file == '.' || $file == '..')
continue;
$path = $dir . '/' . $file;
if (is_dir($path))
$output += scan($path);
else
$output[] = $path;
}
}
return $output;
}
İf you want to add folders to array too, just change the if statement like;
if (is_dir($path))
$output += scan($path);
$output[] = $path;
Also you can use RecursiveDirectoryIterator class too: stackoverflow
UPDATE
Just erase the "else" keyword if you want to add folders too in output.
If you call function like;
scan('/root/');
The output will give you results like;
'/root/First_Folder/First_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file2'
But if u erase "else" keyword, you will get results like;
'/root/First_Folder',
'/root/First_Folder/First_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file2'
