In the example above, the root directory at gopher.example.com knows about
one DOCUMENT identified by 0 located at
gopher://gopher.example.com:70/allabout.txt. It also knows
about two other directory (which have their own listing files) at
gopher://gopher.exmaple.com:70/stories and at
gopher://gopher.ejemplo.co.es:70/.
In addition there is a binary file, a link to an HTTP url, and several
informative lines.
By passing each line of the directory listing into
gopher_parsedir(), an associative array is formed containing
a parsed out version of the data.
Example 2. Using gopher_parsedir()
<?php
dl("gopher.so");
$directory = file("gopher://gopher.example.com");
foreach($directory as $dirent) {
print_r(gopher_parsedir($dirent));
}
