Little Array problem with function

[Inpresif]

Hi,

I am having a little problem storing files in an array.
This is the code I have to compare directories with a dbase result.

<?
include ("global.php");

$dir = "/" . $content_dir . "/";

$images = array();
$fileArr = array();
$foundsets = array();

$dbi = mysql_connect ("$hostName", "$userName", "$password");
mysql_select_db($databaseName);

function getFiles($dir) {
    $d = opendir($dir);

if($d) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($d))){
	    if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..") && (!ereg("[!|\(|\)|\?|@|%|&|\*|;|,|~|\{|\}]",$file)))
        	    {
           		if (@is_dir($dir.$file)){
			$pad = $dir.$file."/";
			$filesexist[] = $pad;
			getFiles($pad);
			}
	    }
   }
   closedir($d);
   }
  return $filesexist;
} // close func

$result = mysql_query("SELECT path FROM sets WHERE movie != '$movie' ORDER BY path");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
    		for ($i=0; $i<$numrows; $i++) {
		$rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
		$foundset = $rows[0];
        	$foundsets[] = $foundset;
    		}

        asort($foundsets);

$fileArr = getFiles($dir);
$newstuff = array_diff_assoc($fileArr, $foundsets);
asort($newstuff);
foreach($newstuff AS $thisFile)echo $thisFile." = thisfile<br>\n";

getFiles($dir);
?>

This is not working as planned. The $fileArr = getFiles($dir); only returns the first directory listings (7 directories), not all the
subdirectories we have on the server. So, instead of showing/using the 150+ directories we have so far, it only holds 7 main directories.

Anybody can help me with that?

You are not storing the files anywhere in your function.

Can you give me a little info on that?

In the meantime, I'll search.

[HalfaBee]

In this loop where do you store the filenames?

HalfaBee

function getFiles($dir) {
    $d = opendir($dir);

if($d) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($d))){
        if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..") && (!ereg("[!|(|)|?|@|%|&|*|;|,|~|{|}]",$file)))
        {
            if (@is_dir($dir.$file)){
                $pad = $dir.$file."/";
                $filesexist[] = $pad;
                getFiles($pad);
            }
        }
   }
   closedir($d);
   }
  return $filesexist;
} // close func

I thought that would be here:
$filesexist[] = $pad;

[HalfaBee]

When is that bit of code executed?

hmm, here?
return $filesexist;
I've tried to echo a lot of things the past week (i'm on this stuff for over 60 hours at least), nothing came close to my wanted results :/

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

I like the way you tutor me by the way😉
After years of playing with codes and Flash, there's nothing like trying to really understand what's actually going on in the code.

I am going to bed now, so I won't leave you hanging.

            if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..") && (!ereg("[!|(|)|?|@|%|&|*|;|,|~|{|}]",$file))) 
            { 
                if (@is_dir($dir.$file)){ 
                    $pad = $dir.$file."/"; 
                    $filesexist[] = $pad; 
                    getFiles($pad); 
                } 
            }
[\PHP]
This bit checks if it is a dir. and recursivly goes into the sub-dir.
You actually never add any filenames to $filesexist, unless it is a dir.
Also $filesexist is a local variable to the function so you will never get the whole list just the first dir.

The final  getfiles() is just a waste of time.

Hope that explains what is happening.

I'll be here for the next 14 hours, puzzling untill this works. Gotta love these problems :rolleyes:

            if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..") && (!ereg("[!|(|)|?|@|%|&|*|;|,|~|{|}]",$file)))

                    $pad = $dir.$file."/"; 
                    $filesexist[] = $pad; 
                    getFiles($pad); 
                }

I just thought about that, should I change the function to:
getFiles($dir, $filesexist) 
so the $filesexist gets into the next call as well?

Kinda ... 

The getfiles() is needed to get the subdirectories, I assume you agree with me on that?


I have 7 different version of this bit of code, none do the trick for me and I am sure they all have the same issue.

Okay, I have some good results here now, thought I'd post thyem as well. This works perfectly, maybe the code has some unneeded references I don't know about?

<?
include ("global.php");

$movie = "movie";
$dir = "/" . $content_dir . "/";

$filesexist = array();
$scanned_dirs = array();

$dbi = mysql_connect ("$hostName", "$userName", "$password");
mysql_select_db($databaseName);

function getstuff($dir, $mode, $movie){
    global $dbi;
    global $filesexist;

     $foundsets = array();

     $result = mysql_query("SELECT path FROM sets ORDER BY path ASC"); // WHERE movie != '$movie'
     $numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

                     for ($i=0; $i<$numrows; $i++) {
                     $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
                     $foundset = $rows[0];
                     $foundsets[] = $foundset;
                     }

                     asort($foundsets);

     		 print "<b><font size=3>Viewing Current Content</font></b><hr>\n";
     		 print "DIRECTORY<br>\n";

                     if($mode=="view"){
                     	foreach ($foundsets as $item) {
 		    	print "<b><a href=\"scandirs_b.php?mode=edit&dirname=$item\" target=\"main\">$item</a></b><BR>\n";
 		        }
                     }else{
             		getFiles($dir, $foundsets);
                     }
}

# you can use this function to get all of your file names out of your modules directory
function getFiles($dir, $foundsets){
    global $filesexist;
    global $scanned_dirs;

if($d = opendir($dir)) {

   while (false !== ($entry = readdir($d))){

	    if(($entry!=".") && ($entry!="..") && (!ereg("[!|\(|\)|\?|@|%|&|\*|;|,|~|\{|\}]",$entry)))
        	    {
           		if (@is_dir($dir.$entry)){
                            $filesexist = $dir.$entry."/";
			getFiles($filesexist, $foundsets);
			}
	    }

   } // end while      

   closedir($d);

 $filesexist = ereg_replace("//","/",$filesexist);
 $linktext = $filesexist;

 if ((!in_array($linktext,$foundsets)) && (!in_array($filesexist,$scanned_dirs))) {
 echo "<a href=\"content.php?do=Process&format=$format&dirname=$linktext\" target=\"main\">" . $linktext . "</a><BR>";
 $scanned_dirs[] = $filesexist;
 }

} // end if

} // close getFiles func

getstuff($dir, add, movie);
?>
