Using Scandir

[InfinityDesigns]

Hi all,

I wanted to make a frontend for a website i was working on, I have been looking around and cant find anything similar on her.

I saw this code here

<?php
$dir = '/tmp';
$files1 = scandir($dir);

print_r($files1);
?>

Which would give this:

Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => bar.php
[3] => foo.txt
[4] => somedir
)

my question to the community is hwo can i edit this to create html links to the documents in a certain folder, that when clicked on open the file (.doc, .txt, .html, .jpeg etc etc) in the deafult windows application (possibly alos working on linux if that changes anythign)

I realise this is a major ask but im really stuck, it would take me forever to work this out.

Thanks

Look up [man]foreach[/man].

$dir = "./tmp/";  

$files1 = scandir($dir);  

FOREACH($files1 as $file){ 

  echo "<a href=\"./".$dir.$file."\">".$file."</a><BR />"; 

} 

Do note, the scandisk() function is PHP5 Only.
For versions before PHP5, you could use opendir()

$dir = "./tmp/"; 

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents 
if (is_dir($dir)) { 
   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { 
       while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { 
           print filetype($dir . $file).": <a href=\"".$dir.$file."\">".$file."</a><BR />\n"; 
       } 
       closedir($dh); 
   } 
}
