List of files

[lacrack]

How can I get List of files on a directory?

There is a great working example on php.net: [man]opendir[/man]. Fiddle with the example they have there to get a feel of how it works. Then tweak to fit your needs.

I use the following method to get a list of images to display on a webpage to dynamicaly hyperlink a description to.

I wrote this for a linux filesystem, but it should work the same in a windows environment.

/**
 * Return the names of files from $filePath
 * @param string $dirPath The path to the directory to get the contents of.
 * @return array Returns an array of file names. If an error occurs, return false.
 */
function getDirectoryContents($dirPath)
{
    // Return a list of image names from the directory.
    if ($handle = opendir($dirPath))
    {
        // array counter
        $i = 0;

    // Loop over the directory.
    while (false !== ($dir = readdir($handle)))
    {
        // Do not include "." and ".." as filenames.
        if ($dir != '.' && $dir != '..')
        {
            // Assign variable
            $fileName[$i] = $dir;

            // Increment Counter
            $i++;
        }
    }

    // Close the directory
    closedir($handle);

    return ($fileName);
}

else 
    return (false);
}

Hope that helps.
