List File From Another Server

[okuto1973]

I have to show the file names from another server that share a directory.

With the php code:

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

i can show files from the position of this code.
If i want to put this code on server A and show files taht are in a directory shared in the server B can I do this?

Via browser IE i can see the directory of the server B..............
Thanx in advance.

With PHP4, directory functions work ONLY with the local filesystem. With PHP5, they also can work with remote files via FTP.

Other solutions:

• Read the directory using an FTP connection using a function from http://us2.php.net/ftp

• Fetch the URL (the one you view in IE) and write code to parse the filenames out of it.

I have used the FTP solution.. very effective for listing the contents of a directory. I'd recommend that.

If you have permission to do so, you can create an FTP account that only accesses that folder, then you can just FTP to that address.
