Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Script to find file types and info Post 303039874 by Neo on Wednesday 16th of October 2019 08:49:02 PM

If you only need the file names, with PHP you can use scandir() to scan the entire web directory and put all the file names in array and filter the array based on the extensions. However, if you need more info than just the filename / extension, scandir() will not provide the ownership and permissions, information.

In that case, if I was doing this, I would simply exec() a variation of the ls -lR comand in a PHP script and put each entry (file information) into an array, and then filter the array as needed.

Of course, you don't need PHP to do this, but since your are using a web server which has PHP already, you might enjoy taking the output (your file inventory) and displaying your inventory results on a web page in addition to a CSV file Smilie


See also PHP: fputcsv()

Code:
fputcsv ( resource $handle , array $fields [, string $delimiter = "," [, string $enclosure = '"' [, string $escape_char = "\\" ]]] ) : int

Quote:
fputcsv() formats a line (passed as a fields array) as CSV and writes it (terminated by a newline) to the specified file handle.

invsync(8)						      System Manager's Manual							invsync(8)

NAME
invsync - Synchronizes system inventory SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/invsync DESCRIPTION
The invsync utility creates a Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file and a Customized File Inventory (CFI) file. These files can be used to preserve the customized or modified state of your system in the event of a new installation. The MSI file contains a complete list of files installed by the setld utility and the state of those files when they were installed. The CFI file contains the names of those files installed by the setld utility that have been customized or modified since the installation. The files listed in the CFI file are overwritten if you perform a new installation of the operating system. You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility. The invsync utility calls the usync utility to create the MSI file. After the MSI file is created, the invsync utility calls the udetect utility to compare the state of the files shown in the MSI file with the current state of the files installed on the system. If a file state differs, an entry is written to the CFI file. Edit the CFI file to remove the entries for files that you do not want to back up. The CFI file and the MSI file are written in the setld inventory file format. For more information, refer to the stl_inv(4) refernce page. RESTRICTIONS
You must have superuser privileges to run the invsync utility. FILES
