Getting file names from directory

[redrabbit]

Guys, i want to (in an easy way as possible) echo a file from a directory.

I was using this code:

$file = glob("/home/web/html/.");

echo $file[3];

This worked, it output:

/home/web/html/bleh.php

The problem is i dont want it to list the path, only the file, so it would just say "bleh.php".

Any ideas. Please keep it simple though.

The [man]opendir[/man], [man]readdir[/man] and [man]closedir[/man] functions are what you want. Links are to the manual; example code is there.

<?
function getDirList_un ($dirName) { 
$d = dir($dirName); 
while($entry = $d->read()) { 
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "index.php") { 
	if (is_dir($dirName."/".$entry)) { 
		//getDirList($dirName."/".$entry); 
	} else { 
	echo "<b>Without Path:</b> ".$entry."<br>";
	echo "<b>With Path:</b> ".$dirName."/".$entry."<br><br>";
	}
}
}
$d->close(); 
}

function getDirList_win ($dirName) { 
$d = dir($dirName); 
while($entry = $d->read()) { 
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "index.php") { 
	if (is_dir($dirName."\\".$entry)) { 
		//getDirList($dirName."\\".$entry); 
	} else { 
	echo "<b>Without Path:</b> ".$entry."<br>";
	echo "<b>With Path:</b> ".$dirName."\\".$entry."<br><br>";
	}
}
}
$d->close(); 
}
//unix folder get
getDirList_un("/home/web/html");

//windows folder get
//getDirList_win("c:\\");
?>

code above should output somthing like this

Without Path: 4051eb23.pdf
With Path: c:\4051eb23.pdf

Without Path: 4051eb23.TIF
With Path: c:\4051eb23.TIF
