Listing of folders/subfolders with RecursiveDirectoryIterator

I'm using this code to get a listing of every folders/subfolders of a repertory :

$path = realpath($userdir);
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path)) as $filename)
{
        echo "$filename\n";
}

However it displays something like this, wich add dot or double dots and displays the folder twice :

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister.

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister..

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\apatik.

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\apatik..

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv.

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv..

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv\vcxvcx.

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv\vcxvcx..

Instead of something cleaner like this :

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\apatik

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv

C:\wamp\www\gg\ftp\repository\user\mister\vvxcv\vcxvcx

Is there a way ? I was previously using the function glob 

glob($sub . '/*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR);

which was displaying the folder correctly but i couldn't get it to be recursive to display subfolders aswell.

Thanks

you need something like this 

set_time_limit(0);
function scanDirectory($sub = ''){
    $folders = glob($sub . '/*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR);
    foreach($folders as $folder){
        echo "$folder<br />";
        scanDirectory($folder);
    }
}
scanDirectory();

and this will list all folders on current drive

EDIT

$folders = glob($sub . '/*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR); will get all the folders in specified directory.

foreach($folders as $folder) will loop over folders array.

$sub will be the folder name that will be explored.

so, these are the folders

A B C

$folders will have like $folders['A', 'B', 'C']

and in loop, each A B and C will be passed as $sub to check either it has more folders in it or not.
