[Resolved] ignore directories in search

[helz]

i have this code:

$dir = "/directory/";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
			if ( $file != "." && $file  != ".." ){
			    echo $file.'<br>\n';
				}
        }
    closedir($dh);
    }
}

at its current state it will display all files and all directories. how can i change it so that it only displays files?

will this work?
if i change the last if statement to this:

if ( $file != "." && $file  != ".." && $file !=strpos(".",$file)){

No, that will not work.
have a look here for info on is_file. basically it's going to be something like.

<?php
$dir = "/directory/"; 
if (is_dir($dir)) { 
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { 
        while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { 
            if ( is_file($file) ){ 
                echo $file.'<br>\n'; 
                } 
        } 
    closedir($dh); 
    } 
}
?>

HTH

right thanks 😃

now the error is that its classing files as directories when using the is_file()

when i comment out the if it works fine but displays directories aswell :-/

if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && is_file($file) && $file != "whatever.php") echo $file;

correct

[helz]

files still not being shown, still being recognised as directories

could i add this if statement?

if (is_dir($snon_dir)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($snon_dir)) {
      while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
         if ($file!="." && $file!=".."){
            if (strpos($file,".")) {// <--------- new
               $filename = $file;
               $file = $dlpathed.'/'.$file;
               echo "<input type='radio' name='files' value='$file' onclick=\"document.forms['adddl']['dllink'].value=this.value\">$filename<br>\n";
            }// <-------- new
         }
      }
closedir($dh);
   }
}

hmmm i don't see the use of is_file anywhere, that is how to check for a file... there is an example on php.net that will list the directories and files, then you just play from there...

below is the simplest example i can give you, and it works, it ONLY list FILES, not directories:

<?php 
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && is_file($file)) { 
            echo "$file<br>"; 
        } 
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}
?>

yeh i know it should work but it doesnt, that if statement i wisked up which only displays files with a . in em which means that have an extension seemed to work...

wierd how it doesn't
