I am getting an array of filenames from a folder like this...
$files = File::allFiles('myfolder/');
But the resulting array contains pathname as well.
Is there a way of just getting an array of filenames? Or do I need to process each array item and extract the filename from it?
There is an another way of getting file name:
public function index() {
$filesInFolder = \File::files('folder');
foreach($filesInFolder as $path) {
$file = pathinfo($path);
echo $file['filename'] ;
}
}
The pathinfo will gives you the output:
{ "dirname":"file_path", "basename":"file_name.file_extension", "extension":"file_extension", "filename":"file_name" }
hope it helps:
public function parse() {
$fileNames = [];
$path = public_path('other');
$files = \File::allFiles($path);
foreach($files as $file) {
array_push($fileNames, pathinfo($file)['filename']);
}
dd($fileNames);
}
try the laravel Storage api:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
//...
$files = Storage::disk('diskName')->allFiles('folderName');
$fileNames = array_map(function($file){
return basename($file); // remove the folder name
}, $files);
