PHP中的数组递归目录; 相对映射到绝对值

Question

I'm pulling results from a recursive directory listing into an array, and was wondering if there is a better (read faster, briefer, etc.) way of doing it. Specifically, I'm creating an array of:

path_relative_to_somedir => absolute_path

Right now I've got:

$map = array();
$base_realpath = realpath('/path/to/dir');
$iterator = new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator($base_realpath);
foreach((new \RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator)) as $node){
    $node_realpath = $node->getRealpath();
    $map[substr($node_realpath, strlen($base_realpath) + 1)] = $node_realpath;
}

This works fine (seemingly) but I'm worried about edge cases that, while I'm sure they will come out in testing, others may be able to point out. So:

• Is there a better (read faster, more accurate, more reliable) way to get the node path relative to the $base_realpath?
• Should I consider options such as glob(), or readdir() as faster alternatives? (this is a somewhat time sensitive operation, I saw a question pertaining to directory recursion in PHP with some benchmarks in an answer, will link when found)

Purpose being; I'm creating a virtual working directory for an application, so that calls to a given file are mapped to the actual file. For example: (I'm elaborating in case someone has an overall better alternative approach based on what I'm actually doing)

Given dir1 is the "root" of the virtual working directory, and we wish to merge in dir2:

path/                       path/
|                           |
+-- to/                     +-- to/
    |                           |
    +-- dir1/                   +-- dir2/
        |                           |
        +-- script1.php             +-- script2.php
        |                           |
        +-- script2.php             +-- subdir/
        |                               | 
        +-- subdir/                     +-- script4.php
            |               
            +-- script3.php 

It would yield an array like so:

[script1.php] => path/to/dir1/script1.php
[script2.php] => path/to/dir2/script2.php
[subdir/script3.php] => path/to/dir1/subdir/script3.php
[subdir/script4.php] => path/to/dir2/subdir/script4.php

Notice that the merging replaces existing relative paths, and each element is mapped to it's actual path. I'm simply using array_replace() here, here's the method snippet:

public function mergeModule($name){
    $path = realpath($this->_application->getPath() . 'modules/' . $name);
    if(!is_dir($path) || !is_readable($path)){
        // @todo; throw exception
    }
    $map = array();
    try{
        $directory_iterator = new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path);
        foreach((new \RecursiveIteratorIterator($directory_iterator)) as $node){
            $node_realpath = $node->getRealpath();
            $map[substr($node_realpath, strlen($path) + 1)] = $node_realpath;
        }
    }catch(\Exception $exception){
        // @todo; handle
    }
    $this->_map = array_replace($this->_map, $map);
}

If you are looking for a faster way to list directories recursively you can try with external programs instead. A lot faster :)

exec('tree -if /var/www',$tree);
foreach($tree as $key => $path) {
    if ( !$path ) // Ignore the summary ex "5 directories, 30 files"
       break;

    // Do something with the file/dir path
}

If you only need .php files you can use the find command.

find . -name "*.php"
