I came across following piece of code while reading a php code :

$files = array();
foreach ( $folders as $fold ) {
                if ( ! is_dir( $fold ) ) {
                    continue;
                }
                $files = array_merge( $files, readdirectrory( $folder ) );
            }

But I did not find any related to readdirectory in code base so I search google if function belongs to php, but no luck. Can anybody have any idea.

Here are various ways of reading directories. http://php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php – Jason K Jul 02 '18 at 16:07
yeah, but above function works and return all files exist in a directory . What I am curious is how? I did not find any function names `readdirectory` – EmptyData Jul 02 '18 at 16:10

readdirectrory must be in your code some where. The $folders array is the list you are searching through. – Jason K Jul 02 '18 at 16:13
In the foreach you have $fold but latter you use $folder that is not assigned. – Jason K Jul 02 '18 at 16:18
@JasonK yes that is $fold in function , I mistakenly written above. – EmptyData Jul 02 '18 at 16:21
I have grep in whole project directory `grep -r 'readdirectrory' . ` – EmptyData Jul 02 '18 at 16:24
@JasonK found a function name 'readDirectory' I did not know that php is case insensitive :-| – EmptyData Jul 02 '18 at 16:36
