HELP: UNABLE to open files from generated directory list!

phpuser_2000

Hi !

How Can I open all kinds of files? so far i can only open text files.

I am trying to generate a directory list based on the dir path.
but once i am in the directory i am unable to open any ms-word/pdf/ pictures files except text files.

Even though in the array i have listed all possible files i want to open.

Thanks for your help .
with regards

and here is the code ....

//$dir = "/htdocs";

$username ="foo";
$default_dir = "/htdocs/$username";
//$default_dir = "/htdocs";
$default_filename = "new.txt";

function display() {
global $filename, $dir, $text_file_array, $image_file_array;

$extension = array_pop(explode(".", $filename));
if(in_array($extension, $text_file_array)) {
readfile("$dir/$filename");
}
else if(in_array($extension, $image_file_array)) {
echo "<IMG SRC=\"$dir/$filename\">";
}
else echo "Cannot be displayed. $dir/$filename has not been
recognised as a text file, nor as a valid image file. ";
}

function dir_page() {

echo " insde function dir_page $dir<br>";

global $dir, $default_dir, $PHP_SELF, $default_filename;

if($dir == '') {
$dir = $default_dir;
}
$dp = opendir($dir);

?>
<TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0">
<?php
while($file = readdir($dp)){$filenames[] = $file;}

sort($filenames);

for($i = 0; $i < count($filenames); $i++)
{
$file = $filenames[$i];
if($dir == $default_dir && ($file == "." || $file == "..")){
continue;
}
if(is_dir("$dir/$file") && $file == "."){

</TABLE>

<?php
//mkdir_form();
}

$def_length=strlen($default_dir);

if(empty($dir) || ($dir_test!=$default_dir)) {
$dir = $default_dir;
//echo " $dir : $dir <br>";
}

if (file_exists($default_dir)) {
// display dir_name
echo "The file $new_dir exists";

// display files under dir
 //display_dir();
// dir_page();
switch ($action) {

case "make_dir":
// make_dir();
break;
case "display":
display();
break;
default:
// html_header();

// html_footer();
break;
}

}
// create the dir if it doesnt exist
else {
echo "The file $dir_name does not exists .. Creating dir /$username";

// make_dir();
 mkdir("$default_dir", 0700);

 //display_dir();

Can you elaborate on the problem a bit more? In other words, you say you can't open them... Well, what happens when you do try to open them?
