Working with files -- Please Help

[gkostenarov]

Could someone help me out with a small piece of code. I need to develop a loop that goes through let's say 4-5 directories, lovates the file index.htm and returns the 'file modified' informaiton to a variable in PHP.

Thanks,
Goran

I have it working for one file......

<?php
//works for one entry
$fn = ('Folder1/index.htm');
print "$fn was last modified on: " . filemtime ($fn);

//closedir($dh);

?>

Open the directory...

Loop through the directory, checking if the values are index.htm or index.html or index.php ( or whatever else... default.htm, index.cfm, etc. ) and do the same thing you did for the one file...

Superwormy,

thanks for your help. I have one more question. Here is my code

if ($handle = opendir('/')) {
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";

/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
    $file_modified = filemtime($file);	
    echo "$file and Modified on: $file_modified" ; ?> <br> <?php
}



closedir($handle); 

}

The output is good for the . and .. only. Any other filename produces a warning.

Directory handle: Resource id #1 Files: . and Modified on: 1054046273
.. and Modified on: 1054037944

Warning: stat failed for lost+found (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /var/www/html/main/update.php on line 15
lost+found and Modified on:

It's probably returning a list of directories and files... check if its actually a file with is_file() before you stat() it...

Maybe... beyond that I dont know.
