I'm not looking to integrate these frameworks entirely into MediaWiki; I'm just
talking about this one single file with one single class. (to be fair, it's 3 classes,
but they're all in that one file).

Hi all,
Recently, I've been working with the Symfony web framework [1]. One of the
classes they include is called the sfFinder class [2], which is a fluid,
easy-to-use file finder class. It searches for files or directories in the
filesystem, using a fluid PHP 5 interface. It has no dependancies, so it
should work fine with MediaWiki. After finding numerous instances of
opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), etc. in MediaWiki, I thought that it would
be a good idea to use one centralized class to do all file searching. There
is only 1 potential issue I see, though. It is MIT licensed, which is GPL
compatible, so it should be okay to implement it, but I'm not too clear on
this issue.
The usage is simple:
sfFinder::type('file')->name('*.php')->in('/path/to/dir');
//list of PHP
files in directory and all subdirectories
sfFinder::type('file')->name('*.php')->in('/path/to/dir')->recurse(0);
//list of PHP files in that directory only
sfFinder::type('dir')->name('foo')->in('/path/to/dir');
//list of
directories with the name "foo"
There is documentation at [3], but it's for an old version. The code is very
similar though, so most of it should apply to the current version.
What would people think of a change like this. I would like to see this
happen, but I'd like some more opinions before I look into implementing it.
