[Resolved] listing subdirectories

[alancd]

I run a record label and want an easy way to list my bands... what I am looking for, but am not quite sure how to do... in my public_html folder, there is a subfolder called bands. In that folder is a seperate directory for each band, and I want to list the directories (as a link to the target folder) in alphabetical order.

Any help is appreciated

Sure, try the function below. It will return an array of sub dir's and then you can go through and create a link to each one. Give it a try.

<?php 
function list_dirs($dir)
{
	if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {                     // Open the dir to read..
		$dirs = array();                           // Initialize empty array.
		while (($item = readdir($dh)) !== false) { // Read each item in the dir..
			if (is_dir($dir.'/'.$item) && !in_array($item, array('.','..'))) { // If it's a dir..
				$dirs[] = $item; // Add the dir name to the list.
			}
		}
		closedir($dh); // Close the directory handle.
	} else {           // If couldn't open dir, throw error and return false.
		trigger_error("list_dirs() Could not open the directory to read. [{$dir}]", E_USER_WARNING);
		return(false);
	}
	return($dirs);
}
$dirs = list_dirs(dirname(__FILE__)); // Get a list of sub dirs.
sort($dirs); // Sort the list.
foreach ($dirs as $name) { // Print a link to each.
	print("<a href=\"./{$name}\">".ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $name))."</a><br>\r\n"); // For the link text, replace _ with spaces and capitolize all the words.
}
?>
