function drupal_system_listing in Drupal 5

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6 includes/common.inc \drupal_system_listing()
2. 7 includes/common.inc \drupal_system_listing()

Returns an array of files objects of the given type from the site-wide directory (i.e. modules/), the all-sites directory (i.e. sites/all/modules/), the profiles directory, and site-specific directory (i.e. sites/somesite/modules/). The returned array will be keyed using the key specified (name, basename, filename). Using name or basename will cause site-specific files to be prioritized over similar files in the default directories. That is, if a file with the same name appears in both the site-wide directory and site-specific directory, only the site-specific version will be included.

Parameters

$mask: The regular expression of the files to find.

$directory: The subdirectory name in which the files are found. For example, 'modules' will search in both modules/ and sites/somesite/modules/.

$key: The key to be passed to file_scan_directory().

$min_depth: Minimum depth of directories to return files from.

Return value

An array of file objects of the specified type.

Common functions that many Drupal modules will need to reference.

Code

function drupal_system_listing($mask, $directory, $key = 'name', $min_depth = 1) {
  global $profile;
  $config = conf_path();

  // When this function is called during Drupal's initial installation process,
  // the name of the profile that's about to be installed is stored in the global
  // $profile variable. At all other times, the standard Drupal systems variable
  // table contains the name of the current profile, and we can call variable_get()
  // to determine what one is active.
  if (!isset($profile)) {
    $profile = variable_get('install_profile', 'default');
  }
  $searchdir = array(
    $directory,
  );
  $files = array();

  // Always search sites/all/* as well as the global directories
  $searchdir[] = 'sites/all/' . $directory;

  // The 'profiles' directory contains pristine collections of modules and
  // themes as organized by a distribution.  It is pristine in the same way
  // that /modules is pristine for core; users should avoid changing anything
  // there in favor of sites/all or sites/<domain> directories.
  if (file_exists("profiles/{$profile}/{$directory}")) {
    $searchdir[] = "profiles/{$profile}/{$directory}";
  }
  if (file_exists("{$config}/{$directory}")) {
    $searchdir[] = "{$config}/{$directory}";
  }

  // Get current list of items
  foreach ($searchdir as $dir) {

      '.',
      '..',
      'CVS',
