PHP file search lists directory as file -

the following script searching documents/files in specified path. works quite except fact when subfolder has subfolder, lists file/makes clickable. not want. want script show files in each folder (including files in subdirs). hope explanation not messy, haha.

since i'm not able post screenshot try explain.

current folder structure:

vbfiles/     -dir1/           -subdir1/                    -filesubdir1.doc           -subdir2/                    -filesubdir2.doc           -dir1file1.doc           -dir1file2.doc           -dir1file3.doc     -dir2/           -subdir3/                    -filesubdir3.doc           -subdir4/                    -filesubdir4.doc           -dir2file4.doc           -dir2file5.doc           -dir2file6.doc 

result(what want remove marked "<-- no" :)):

found 14 file(s)  dir1  dir1file3.doc  dir1file2.doc  subdir1 <-- no  subdir2 <-- no  dir1file1.doc subdir1  filesubdir1.doc subdir2  filesubdir2.doc dir2  subdir3 <-- no  dir2file4.doc  dir2file5.doc  subdir4 <-- no  dir2file6.doc subdir3  filesubdir3.doc subdir4  filesubdir4.doc 

code:

<?php define("path_root", dirname(__file__) . "/"); define("path_files", path_root .

" file(s)</h3>";     foreach ($found $folder => $files) {         echo "<ul id='navi_lvl0'> <li class='folder'>" . $folder . "</li> <ul id='navi_lvl1'>";          foreach ($files $file) {             echo "<li class='document'><a href='$dir$folder/$file' target='_blank'>" . $file . "</a></li>";         }         echo "</ul></ul>";     } } else {     echo "no files found"; } } ?> 

this function lists files directory. approaches nested child directories also. wrote when required same functionality.
