File Listing - Specific Files Help?!

Anon

I've done this script based on quite a few postings on php.net and with a few bits of nice html thrown in there.

I'm not a programming wizz, but the problem is, it's only showing around 13 entries in the directory, and I know there are more files in there than that!

<?php

// Show directory listing and link to filedetail.php to get size etc

// A few vars
$directory_to_show = dir("/path/to/directory/");
$base_url = ("http://www.url.com/directory/");

// DirList Loop & Link
$accepted_types = array(".pdf"=>"y",".gif",".jpg"=>"y");

while ($entry = $directory_to_show->read()) {
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".."){

$extension = strtolower(substr($entry,strpos($entry,".")));
// is this file type in the accepted types array?
if ($accepted_types[$extension])
{
print <<<EOF
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td class="diddytext"> $entry</td>
<td class="diddytext" width="50" align="center"><b><a href="filedetail.php?where=$base_url$entry&file=$entry">USE</a></b></td>
</tr>
EOF;
}}}

//Close Call
$directory_to_show->close();

//End html
print <<<EOF
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
EOF;

?>

Also, why is it when I ask for a file's size using the filesize() call within the whil loop that it shows nothing???

Hope someone can help.

hi,

This code works fine for me.
Please check out whether u have mentioned all the file types in the array?

// DirList Loop & Link
$accepted_types = array(".pdf"=>"y",".gif",".jpg"=>"y");

Check it out.

with regards,
preetha

Yeah, thanks, I know it works in theory, but I have a directory with over 30 odd pdf files, and it only shows the first 13!

Any ideas anyone???

I have found the problem, but don't know how to solve it.

The other files that don't show up have "."'s in their filenames...

i.e.

mypdf.pdf shows in the listing, but
mypdf 2.2 release.pdf does not show.

How can I ammend the code so that it will allow files with dot's in their names to show up in the listing???

Cheers,
S.

The reason is that this line:
$extension = strtolower(substr($entry,strpos($entry,".")));

will store the string '.2 release.pdf' in $extension and thus will fail the comparison.

try using this code instead:

preg_match('/(.[\w\d]+)\s*$/i', $entry, $matches);
$extension = strtolower($matches[1]);

that will get you the right extension.
