You can try this function:
function getDirectory($path = '.', $level = 1)
{
$result = array();
$ignore = array('nbproject', 'src', '.', '..');
$dh = @opendir($path);
$i = 0;
while($file = readdir($dh))
{
if(!in_array($file, $ignore))
{
if(is_dir($path.'/'.$file))
{
$level++;
$singleResult = array('title'=>$file, 'isFolder'=>true, 'children'=>$this->getDirectory($path.'/'.$file, $level), 'key'=>'node'.$level);
$result[] = $singleResult;
}
else
{
$result[] = array('title'=>$file, 'key'=>'node'.$level.'.'.$i);
}
}
$i++;
}
closedir($dh);
return $result;
}
I scanned with this function one of my directories and it outputs:

Of course you need to implement converting array to json by yourself, there is just method for scanning directories and giving them proper parameters.
