getting a list of files in a dir

[ronjon]

hi guys.

i want to get a list of files in a specific directory. i found, a solution using ftp... 'ftp_nlist"... returns a list of files in an array... exactly what i want.. now im curious if this is the easiest way to do this? im reluctant to make so many connections...and that is something i will need to do if i will be using the ftp approach. if there is no other way to do it... then i suppose ill just have to deasl with making a connection.... if there is a simpler way to do it... preferrably without having to make an ftp connection...please let me know... thanks in advance guys.

opendir()
readdir()

or if php5: scandir()

i would prefer it in an array... any way to do that without using ftp?

Create the arrray in your script. This one came up last week so search the forum and you'll find the code already written.

This is on linux.

$dir_list = array();
$mydir = dir($directory);
while(($folders = $mydir->read()) !== false) {
	if ($folders !== "." && $folders !== "..") {
		$dir_count = array_push($dir_list,$folders);
	}
}
$mydir->close();
