PLEASE HELP :Directory file access problem!!

phpuser_2000

Hi !

I have a simple script that i am trying to modify,
that will list the files in the speciafied directory

for example : all files under htdocs

all i shoudl be able to access/view the documents under htdocs

So, far it only list the files under /htdocs. When I try to click it the files under htdocs it says "page cannot be found"..

Could any show an example how i could go about doing this?

Why don't you post the code?

phpuser_2000

Here is my code,

I am try to list the files under which ever path I specify.
it list the files fine, but when you click on it to view the files
it give s you page not found..

Is there any of fixing this problem?

thanks

$path ="/htdoc/user";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

// Loop through the files
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "dir_demo2.php" )

continue;
echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br>";

}

// Close
closedir($dir_handle);

phpuser_2000

I also tried it this way and still i cant access the files when i click it.

<?php
$path = "/htdocs/username/"; // relative path
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
//echo "$file<br>";
?>
<a href ="<? echo $path.$file ; ?>"> <? echo "$file "; ?></a></br>
<?
}
closedir($dir_handle);
?>
</body>
</html>

What does the URL in the link say? What is the URL for the "page that could not be found"? Are they both correct? Remember, the client doesn't know about the server's file system. If dir_demo2.php is the script we're talking about here, then allow it to be listed, and use that to test (compare the URL you use to load the page to the URL you get when you click on its link).
