Directory operations let you create, list, and manage folders programmatically. Essential for file organization and dynamic file systems!

Create Directory

<?php
// Create single directory
mkdir('new_folder');

// Create nested directories
mkdir('path/to/folder', 0755, true);
?>

List Directory Contents

<?php
$files = scandir('.');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
        echo $file . "\n";
    }
}
?>

Pattern Matching with glob

<?php
// Find all PHP files
$phpFiles = glob('*.php');

// Find all JPG images
$images = glob('images/*.jpg');
?>
