Finding the name of t 1st file in folder

[Anon]

How can i get a php script to get the first file in a folder, and then making a variable that file name (without the extension, but i know that biyt 😉 )

$path = "/path/to/directory/";

chdir($path);
$main = opendir($path);

while($file = readdir($main)) {
if(!(($file==".")||($file==".."))) {
$filename = file;
}
}

Will that only print the first one? as it looks familiar to one that i have that lists them all...

Yes - sorry. Remove the while loop or just add a break...

$path = "/path/to/directory/";
chdir($path);
$main = opendir($path);

while($file = readdir($main)) {
if(!(($file==".")||($file==".."))) {
$filename = file;
break;
}
}
