[Resolved] HTML Title

[krang]

Does anyone know how to get a list of files from a directory and filter it by the HTML Title?

example
I have a directory with 50 things
I want to display everything with "General:" in it although after the : will be different for each page.
Then display the File Name minus the ".htm" and hyperlink it to the htm file.

So of that 50 I only have 30 files display on the screen.

read first the directory of your file something like this
$current_dir = opendir($dir);

while($entryname = readdir($current_dir))
{
if (($entryname != ".") and( $entryname!=".." ) // non file exist
{
$name=$entryname;
$nameexplode=explode(".",$name); // explode file name so we can check extension
if (($nameexplode[1]==".htm" ) || ($nameexplode[1]==".html") ) // check extension
{
$handle=fopen($name,+r) // open file
$contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($name));
if (eregi("General",$content)) {// Found General
echo $name."<br>";// then display filename
}

           }

}

}

The only way I can think to do it would be to loop through each file in the directory, open the file and search for '<title>General:'. If you find it add the file name to the list of files to display. You'd probably want to use a regex search to account for possible variations in the title string, i.e., a space between '<title>' and 'General:'

Wow jannoy
That was impressive. I had to do some changes. Syntax and the like but it works.

Thanks

FYI here is the corrected script

<?
$dir=".";
$current_dir = opendir($dir);
while($entryname = readdir($current_dir))
{
if (($entryname != ".") and( $entryname!=".." ) and ($entryname!="index.htm" )) // non file exist
{
$name=$entryname;
$nameexplode=explode(".",$name); // explode file name so we can check extension
if (($nameexplode[1]=="htm" ) || ($nameexplode[1]=="html")) // check extension
{
$handle=fopen($name,"r"); // open file
$contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($name));
if (eregi("General",$contents))
{// Found General
echo $name."<br>";// then display filename
}}}}
?>
