Reading Directory

[raouleduke]

This may be a stupid question , but its late.
How do I Display the message, Sorry no files to view, with this
code, it tries to sort the files but when there are none in there
I would like it to say No files to view.

 <?
if ($handle = opendir('/usr/home/web/users/a0020386/html/reports/FREEWAY/')) {
     $x = 0;
     while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
          if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
              $t="<a href=../../reports/FREEWAY/$file>$file</a>"; 
                        $dir_display[$x] = $t.substr($space,0,40-strlen($file));
          }
          $x++;
    }
     asort($dir_display);
     foreach($dir_display as $value){
          echo "<PRE>";
          echo $value;
          echo "\n"; 
          echo "</PRE>"; 
          "<br>";            

     }
}
closedir($handle); 
?>

Thanks for any help

Enclose these statements ...
asort($dir_display);
foreach($dir_display as $value){
echo "<PRE>";
echo $value;
echo "\n";
echo "</PRE>";
"<br>";

}

in a conditional i.e. ...
if($dir_display){
asort($dir_display);
foreach($dir_display as $value){
echo "<PRE>";
echo $value;
echo "\n";
echo "</PRE>";
"<br>";

}
} else {
echo "No files to view.";
}

If no values have been added to the $dir_display array then it will return false.

P.S. you don't need to do the $x = 0 ... $x++ thing. Just use ...

$dir_display[] = $t.substr($space,0,40-strlen($file));

... and PHP will add this entry to the end of the array.

After your if statement could you not use an elseif or maybe put a ++ variable in the while and if the variable doesn't have anything added to it then display the message.

This is an uneducated thought, but hope it helps.
