php link code, directory

[Masta004]

i got this code from here like a year ago, but i just now figured out why i couldnt get it to work i only have main.php and index.php in the root directory, all of my other pages are in other directorys such as downloads, images, thesite, and etc.

heres the code on main.php

<?php  

if(!isset($_GET['id'])) { 
include("index.php"); } else { 
if(!file_exists($_GET['id'].".php")) { 
include("404.php"); 
} else { 
include($_GET['id'].".php"); 
} 
}

?> 
  

what i want it to do is to be able to find the files in the other directorys, but all it dose is find the files in the currnt directory i have about 10 directorys and about 200 php pages, and around 2000-3000 files total, and its around 70 mbs

Are these outside directories or subdirectories of your main?

sub

[LordShryku]

<?php
function r_list_files($dir, &$files) {
   if($open = opendir($dir)) {
      while(false !== ($file = readdir($open))) {
         if(is_file($dir."/".$file) && !is_dir($dir."/".$file)) {
            $files[] = $dir."/".$file;
         }
         else {
            if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
               $files = r_list_files($dir."/".$file, $files);
            }
         }
      }
   }
   return $files;
}

$array = array();
$this  = r_list_files(getcwd(), $array);
print_r($this);
?>

You should be able to use that. It's a recursive directory listing. Should give you the push in the right direction. Provided you name your files uniquly, you should be able to pick through the returned array and include from the match.

im trying to get away from the including tho

[LordShryku]

And do what instead? Your original post only implies you wanted to be able to find files in subdirectories...

[Masta004]

ok in a way this is what your telling me to use
<? if(isset($id)) switch ($id)

{

case "linkname": include("linkaddress.php"); break;

default: include("right.php"); break;

}

else include("news.php");
?>

and thats my currnt code ive been using i dont want to have to add something like that everytime i add a link

so this is where this comes in

if(!isset($GET['id'])) {

include("index.php"); } else {

if(!file_exists($GET['id'].".php")) {

include("404.php");

} else {

include($_GET['id'].".php");

}

}

what it dose is when a link is clicked it goes to that code and that code goes and searchs the currnt directory for the page
example
when the the link index.php?id=aboutme is clicked it looks for the file aboutme.php, in the currnt directory. and i need it to searh in other directories

Well what you can do is rewrite all your links to something like:

index.php?id=/sub_directory/aboutme

That should be the easiest way i think. If you want to build a script that will search for the files then thats much harder but i think LordShryku is pointing you to the right direction.
