file names -> link

[Dizzee]

ok Anyone know how to grab the file names in a specific directory
remove their extensions and display them as links in a nav bar

it may not nessesarily be a major issue removing the extensions as I may be able to remove them from the files themselves as they are all parsed (I still don't know if I use that word correctly), anyway they are all parsed as includes in another script.

Give you a hint, you can use directory functions to do so. chdir(), opendir(), readdir(), etc.

Errr Thanks, :p

So far I can list the contents of a directory
but still can't convert them into links
also wouldn't mind being able to trunkate them upto the first dot from the left.
ie get rid of their extensions

ok so I use this to read the directory and convert to links

<?php
$dir = "..\mydir";

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

while (false !== ($file = readdir($url))) { 
	echo "<a href=\"$dir.$file\">$file</a><br>\n";
}


closedir($url); 
}
?>

how to get rid of the . single dot [.] and double dot [..] directories and trunkate??

[Dizzee]

Although that works on it's own it just gives me

$file
\n"; } closedir($url); } ?> >

when I include it in a file...
😕
