ParentIterator is just a RecursiveFilterIterator whos accept() method calls the RecursiveFilterIterator->hasChildren() method to filter itself.

Basically, it filters out leaf nodes. For example

This would yield all files and directories
<?php
$rdi
= new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__);
$iter = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi, RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);
?>

wrapping that in a ParentIterator would filter it down to just directories
<?php
$rdi
= new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__);
$iter = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi, RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);
$dirsOnly = new ParentIterator($iter);
?>

Easy example for understanding:
<?php

$iterator
= new ParentIterator(
    new
RecursiveArrayIterator(
        array(array(
1, 2, 3), 'A', 'B', 'C')
    )
);

foreach (
$iterator as $recursive) {
    foreach (
$recursive as $value) {
        echo
$value . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
?>
