recursive directory iterator results: filter out specific characters from resultant paths

I'm trying to return all unique instances paths from a specified directory, recursively.

I'm using RecursiveDirectoryIterator. I also would like to omit any instances of paths that contain '.' in them, which is where I'm having trouble.

Here's what I've got going as a test:

<?php

function test($dir){

    $dirArray = []; // the array to store dirs
    $path = realpath($dir);

    $dirs = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
    $objects = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dirs, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

    // loop through all objects and store names in dirArray[]
    foreach($objects as $name => $object){
        if($object->isDir() && strpos($object->getBasename(), '.') !== true) {
          $dirArray[] = $name;
          echo "test: " . $object->getBasename() . "\n";
        }
    }

    print_r($dirArray);
}

test('/some/dir');

?>

This code nearly does what I need. It returns all unique dirs, but includes those with a '.' in the path name.

Just add another checker inside, and try to use ->getPathname() instead:

if($object->isDir() && strpos($object->getPathname(), '.') === false) {
    // do some stuff
}

This just basically means, if this is a directory AND if pathname does not contain that .
