Finder Component

Finder finds files and directories via an intuitive fluent interface.

use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;

$finder = new Finder();

$iterator = $finder
  ->files()
  ->name('*.php')
  ->depth(0)
  ->size('>= 1K')
  ->in(__DIR__);

foreach ($iterator as $file) {
    print $file->getRealpath()."\n";
}

The iterator returns instances of Symfony\Component\Finder\SplFileInfo\SplFileInfo. Besides the build-in methods inherited from \SplFileInfo (getPerms(), getSize(), ...), you can also use getRelativePath() and getRelativePathname(). Read the official documentation for more information.

But you can also use it to find files stored remotely like in this example where we are looking for files on Amazon S3:

$s3 = new \Zend_Service_Amazon_S3($key, $secret);
$s3->registerStreamWrapper("s3");

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->name('photos*')->size('< 100K')->date('since 1 hour ago');
foreach ($finder->in('s3://bucket-name') as $file) {
    print $file->getFilename()."\n";
}
