Question

I’m using a DirectoryIterator to get a folder’s contents, and it works just fine :

$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__ . $this->certificate), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

foreach ($iterator as $key => $value) {
    array_push($files, $value);
}
unset($value);

But my $files result when printed it isn’t a string but a STD Class. How could I convert that output as a string ( in case there’s only one file ) or to an array ?

EDIT : This would be the result I get :

{ [0]=> object(SplFileInfo)#5 (2) { ["pathName":"SplFileInfo":private]=> string(101) "C:\Users\rgr\Apache\htdocs\Roland Groza [ 3.0 ]\class\mongohq/certificate\GTECyberTrustGlobalRoot.crt" ["fileName":"SplFileInfo":private]=> string(27) "GTECyberTrustGlobalRoot.crt" } }

Answer 1

$value is instance of SplFileInfo, if u need filename push $key or $value->__toString() to $files
