showing .exe files in dir

[greeny_man]

can anybody tell me the code to show all .exe files in a chosen dir as i've been unable to find it anywhere and i'm a bit new to php.

and also can anybody tell me the php opposite of the asp?

page.asp?id=something

If request.querystring("id") = "something" then
do whatever
else
do whatever 2
end if

thankyou

hi!

look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
(filesystem functions), especially the "dir" object for reading a directory's contents.

as for asp:

page.asp?id=something

If request.querystring("id") = "something" then 
do whatever 
else 
do whatever 2 
end if 

how to access get (= querystring) parameters passed to your script:

php <4.2 (register_globals = On in php.ini):
simple access the value as a variable: echo $id;
done!

php >=4.2 (where register_globals = Off):
echo $_GET['id'];
- voilà.

thus:

if($_GET['id'] == "something")
{
// do whatever
}
else
{
// do whatever 2
}

Hi, as far as your listing .exe files question, I have made a script to do just that. I have a whole thread about it at http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10222157 The bottom post has the final script and I'll also post it below. In the script you'll see two variables at the top $folder and $extension. Just change those two to what you need, ex: folder "." and extension "exe". This will display all the .exe files in a specific folder and create links to them. The link name is the same as the file name but replaced "_" with " " <<space. You can change the output/links as you need them. Look at the thread for more details.

<?php
$folder = ".";
$extension = "exe";

$extsize = strlen($extension)+1;
if ($handle = opendir($folder)) {
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if (ereg(".$extension$",$file)) {
      $filename = (substr($file,0,strlen($file)-$extsize));
      $filename = ereg_replace("_", " ", $filename);
      echo "<a href=\"$folder/$file\" target=\"_blank\">$filename</a><br />\n";
    }
  }
  closedir($handle); 
}
?>
