Trouble with file browsing script. Challenging

eac

Hello. I know how to read a dir. and files in a dir, but how would I go about doing the following:

Taking 3 folders in my directory (each with 2 files, a zip and a gzip for my users to download)

and have the directories (dira dirb dirc)

listed as such:

dira
zip | gzip

dir b
zip | gzip

dirc
zip | gzip

Those 3 directories are in the /members directory

www.domain.com/members/dira
"" /dirb
""/dirc

So do I do a loop where it reads the dir, and in between before it closes, read the contents. And make the directory value dynamic?

What would you suggest? Of course, I want the gzip/zip to link to the actual files in that directory.

Make sense? Is there an app that does this? Is my logic right? I won't use db's, I don't want to, as it's pointless at this time.

Thanks

This should get you started:

readthisdir ("dira");
readthisdir ("dirb");
readthisdir ("dirb");

function readthisdir ($whichdir) {
 print "$whichdir\n";
 $dir = opendir ($whichdir);
 while (($file = readdir ($dir)) !== FALSE) {
  if (substr ($file, strlen ($file) - 4) = ".zip")
   print "<a href='$file'>zip</a>\n";
  elseif (substr ($file, strlen ($file) - 5) = ".gzip")
   print "<a href='$file'>gzip</a>\n";
 }
 closedir ($dir);
}

Thanks, however there is a parse error
and the script needs to dynamically read the directories over time.

I apologize for not making this clear.

If I upload more directories I want it to automatically list the
next dir and list the zip/gzip under it.

Anybody know (Besides links to the manual)
what can be done? The idea is to just take the directories and dynamically list them with the files in that directory listed underneath the directory name

Directory
file 1 | file 2

That's it. Is this possible? What can I physically do ? I checked the manual but that isn't working. I can't combine the concept of dynamic dir listing with file listing

Why can't you combine them? Loop through your members directory do an if (is_dir($file)), in that if. Then, you then loop through that directory and list it's contents.

"Why can't you combine them? "

Because I don't know how lol

That's why I post. I just can't get it to work I have tried

The beauty of learning a language, the easy is difficult. I bet I am thinking too much. I just can't grasp how to physically do this.

Thanks
