Open multiple files

[FULLAHiMHARD]

Hey guys,

I wish to convert my static website to a database.

I can do this fine with regular expressions, but the problem I am having is opening more than one file.

I have about 2000 html files which look like

/1411-Web_Prince-data.htm
/1714-Just_help-data.htm

I have a website that lists all these html files,

I only need help to open these html files one by one? I will then strip the data I need from it using regex.

Thanks.

So what have you done so far?

[FULLAHiMHARD]

I know it is not the best, I am a little new to php

<?php
$file=
$url='http://www.website.com/data/$file';

if (!($fp = fopen($url, 'r')))
{
echo 'cannot open the URL';
exit();
}

$contents=fread($fp, 1000000);
fclose($fp);

if(preg_match('^[<br/><h4>Title - ]+$title+[</h4>', $line, $matches)) { 

$array = explode(' ', $matches[1]); 

$settings = array(); 

foreach($array as $value) 

$newarray[substr($value,0,strpos($value,'"')-1)] = substr($value, strpos($value,'"')+1, -1); 

} 

?>

have you tried just walking the directory structure and using your regex script during each iteration of the loop?

I think my problem is that i do not know how to loop it 🙁

[mrfritz379]

I make mine a function, so it can be called recursively:

function walk_dir($dirname) {
    if ($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
       while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
           if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
               if (is_dir($dirname. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .$file)) {
                    /*if $file is a subdirectory, this function will be called to loop it 
                       through and process all the files/subdirectories in it*/
                    walk_dir($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file);
               } else {
                    //put your regex operations into a function then call it here
                    your_regex_function_here($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .$file);
               }
           }
        }
        closedir($handle);
        return true;
     } else {
        return false;
     }
}
