HELP, Am crap, Download lister

Abz

please could you help me out with this script i got from a web site,

its very useful and very simple, iv spent hours on end trying to make the script use the files in the directory it is in, and not the directory it is called from, what i have is a test/index.PHP page that includes the Download lister php script with in it, however when i do this the download script uses the file test/index.php directory insted of looking into its won directory where it is placed. test/dl/download.php

could anyone suggest a soultion or another script that would do the same job,
this script looks for txt fils and the corsponding avi file name and lists it, hence why it makes my life easier

am not very good with php but i do try integrating it, any help would be much appreciated, many thanks

Av attached the script in question and you could see the script error on this page using the include method:
http://63.247.87.234/~kingabz/3dnuta/portfolio/3dsmaxmov.php
and here is the same page but using the readfile method,
http://63.247.87.234/~kingabz/3dnuta/portfolio/3dsmaxmovrd.php

Am so crap at this..... 😕 😕 😕

Hi Abz,

As it stands, this script is actually supposed to be included into a file that lives in the folder that you want to open!

This makes it a utility that can be used for many folders without having to alter it. If you do alter it to refer to a particular folder, then you would have to make a new copy to refer to a different folder.

Having said that ... you need to change the path argument to opendir() in the included file. When a file is included, the path 'scope' is the same as the file it is being included into.

Suppose, for example, you have this structure ...

/root 
 - index.php
 + /includes 
    - myfile.inc
 + /test
    - file1.txt
    - file2.txt

... and you include myfile.inc into index.php ...

<?php 
// In index.php
include('./includes/myfile.inc');
?>

Then, if you want to refer to the folder test in myfile.inc, use the path as if it were from index.php.

<?php 
// In myfile.inc
$handle = opendir('./test/'); 
?>

thankx very much for your help,

am still trying it, but maybe am doing it all worng, but one thing when you said i need to change the path argument to opendir()
i thought the scrip had that already,

$handle=opendir("."); 
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false){

and am just wondering where does the script or how do i include the script into the index.php,

am just lost as to where the script fitts into the files ou suggested, do i include the script into

myfile.inc

the funny thing is even when i use the script by its self and change the

$handle=opendir("."); 

// to say opendir("test/mov/");

it still gives me problems about not being able to read a directory to

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for mov_jumptest.avi in C:\web\3dnuta\portfolio\dl3dmax.php on line 19

im startig to hate this script even thou its very simple and usfule. 🙁

pal if you could help me out more ill dedicate a page to you on me site, and will have your name at the footer of the script, if there is anything ells i could do, i just wont it to work.. i guess ill have to start praying for god to give me a hand,

many thanks dude,

hello,

thanks alot for your input, i maneged to get to workd after a few suggestions from here and other fourms, i used the function method to call the script

function output_file($directory) {
$handle=opendir($directory);

and called the function form my index page, it works a treat, am just wondering is there a way that i could include a picture file into the script, what am trying to say is how could i show a picture from the directory that contains TXT and AVI files, so what i would have is
Test.TXT
Test.AVI
Test.JPG

and all these files will be placed a in a table as usual, and i dont want a complicated thumbnile system, just a way to include an image into the script,

many thanks for your support if it is too much hassel please dont worrry about it, thanks for your support,
