As soon as the PHP documentation does not mention the getRealPath() method, I couldn´t realize that this could be done. -- João Cândido de Souza Neto "Nathan Nobbe" <quickshiftin@xxxxxxxxx> escreveu na mensagem news:AANLkTikUQdRHMQM8iH_YL+OVimxLK5pNOQP9HRLn+3VU@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2010/8/2 João Cândido de Souza Neto <joao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Is there a way of getting the symbolic link's target when using > DirectoryIterator? > as DirectoryIterator traverses the contents of a directory, the current() method will return an SplFileInfo instance. Using the SplFileInfo, you can determine if the entry is a link and if so, dereference it http://www.php.net/manual/en/splfileinfo.islink.php (note: $oFile is internally being populated via $oIt->current()) <?php $oIt = new DirectoryIterator('./'); foreach($oIt as $oFile) if($oFile->isLink()) { echo 'link found' . PHP_EOL; echo 'link points to: ' . $oFile->getRealPath() . PHP_EOL; } ?> -nathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
