file browser

Anon

well i guess its just another question how to build a good filebrowser.

i'd like to have a php script which i can pass a directory and it lists me the contents. so you can browse through and see the files. BUT id like to limitate access so that noone puts in his own parameter and accesses my whole server.

so i need something that lets me browse inside a given directory, but does not allow to leave the dir ...

thx in advance

you can pass $folder to this script below to see it's contents. If you want to limit access to only certain folders, you could create and array of allowable folders and then do a quick in_array check to validate input.

<?
$handle = opendir ($folder);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($handle))) {
if ($filename != '.' && $filename != '..') {
$filesize = filesize ($filename);
$filemtime = filemtime ($filename);
$file_array[$filename] = array ('size' => "$filesize",'mod' => "$filemtime");
}
}
ksort ($file_array);
$dirname = dirname ($PATH_TRANSLATED);
echo "
Index of $dirname
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<td>name</td>
<td>size</td>
<td>last modified</td>
</tr>
";
foreach ($file_array as $key => $value) {
extract ($value);
$mod = date ('m-d-y h:ia', $mod);
echo "
<tr>
<td><a href=\"$key\">$key</a></td>
<td>$size</td>
<td>$mod</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo '</table>';
?>
