File Listing at different host

[adan]

I had tried many file listing for localhost and it runs great...

Does anybody can help me with script for file listing at different host?

i use different host to store my files... and i would like a file listing that automatically viewed what's inside that host...

Thanks

you wouldn't be able to use the filesystem functions (except some of them via HTTP, which is unlikely to be of use).

if php is available on the other host, code a script which on-demand creates the list locally and sends it to your script. you could password protect that script. imagine the use like

$dir_list = file("http://the-other-host/get-contents.php?dir=docs");

which would return a page containing the links ...

well, this will work only if php is available on the other host ...
and even if so, everything would make more sense if the directory listing came directly from that host, why get it from remote ...

[adan]

well... i forgot to tell that the other host only support cgi... this host have bigger space than the other... but it only support cgi, that's why i only use it for storing my files... and i would like my php page to be able to list those file in that host... i used another host which only have 25mb to put php page coz it's support php...

that's why i would like to have a script to be able to list a file from non-php support host from php support host

thanks

Ok, the other host must have an FTP server. Have you looked into ftp_nlist ?

[adan]

yeah ... that's great i'd try using

<?php
$ftp_host = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
$ftp_user = "user";
$ftp_password = "pass";

//Connect
echo "<br />Connecting to $ftp_host via FTP...";
$conn = ftp_connect($ftp_host);
$login = ftp_login($conn, $ftp_user, $ftp_password);

//
//Enable PASV ( Note: must be done after ftp_login() )
//
$mode = ftp_pasv($conn, TRUE);

//Login OK ?
if ((!$conn) || (!$login) || (!$mode)) {
   die("FTP connection has failed !");
}
echo "<br />Login Ok.<br />";

//change directory
ftp_chdir($conn, "dir2");
//then blindly list
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn, "");

//
//Now run ftp_nlist()
//
$file_list = ftp_nlist($conn, "");
foreach ($file_list as $file)
{
  echo "» <a href='http://xx.xx.xx.xx/dir1/dir2/$file'/>$file</a><br>";
}

//close
ftp_close($conn);

?>

and it works... what i need now is to hide subdirectory , .php does anyone can help me ?

What do you mean by hide subdirectory?

[adan]

when i use that php... it shows anything in that directory... i want to unlist some file with extension .avi and all subdiretory...

[bretticus]

Just throw an if statement in your foreach loop that excludes specific file extensions. This should be somewhat trivial, but if you need help, just let me know.

[adan]

do you have some sample of that "if" statement, coz i'm still newbie in scripting

[bretticus]

Sure...

This code is untested but I believe it should work.

foreach ($file_list as $file)
{
	//Since all you have is a text representation, you'll probably need 
        //  to exclude dirs by looking for strings with no dot "."
	// Like this perhaps...
	if ( strpos($file, ".") === false ) {
		// probably a dir, do not list.
	} else {
		//now, let's worry about those extensions you don't want
		if ( substr($file, strrpos($file, ".")+1) != "avi" )
			echo "» <a href='http://xx.xx.xx.xx/dir1/dir2/$file'/>$file</a><br>";
	}

}

[adan]

wow... thanks alot... it helps me alot

[bretticus]

I'll take that as the code worked ;-)

[adan]

i need another help...

i'm using another script to deal with remote file listing...

<?php
$ftp_host = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
$ftp_user = "USERID";
$ftp_password = "PASSWORD";

//Connect
echo "<br />Connecting to server...";
$conn = ftp_connect($ftp_host);
$login = ftp_login($conn, $ftp_user, $ftp_password);

//
//Enable PASV ( Note: must be done after ftp_login() )
//
$mode = ftp_pasv($conn, TRUE);

//Login OK ?
if ((!$conn) || (!$login) || (!$mode)) {
   die("FTP connection has failed !");
}
echo "<br />Login Ok.<br />";

//change directory
ftp_chdir($conn, "DIR");

// make your FTP connection calls here, then ...   

   $contents = ftp_rawlist($conn, ".");

   // start listing file
   echo '<TABLE border=1>';

   foreach ($contents as $key => $value) {

   $info = explode(" ", $value);
   $clean = array();
   foreach ($info as $key => $value) {
		if (!empty($value)) { $clean[] = $value; }
   } // end foreach loop 2

// unwanted file extension
$extarray=explode(".",$clean[8]);
$ext=$extarray[count($extarray)-1];     

if ( ($ext != "html") && ($ext != "jpg") && ($ext != "incl") ) {
	     echo '<TR>';
       print "<TD WIDTH=\"60%\" class=\"txt\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"verdana\"><a href=\"http://url/dir/$clean[8]\">$clean[8]</a></font></TD>"; // file name
       // prep size
       $size = $clean[4];
       $size = $size / 1000; $size = ceil($size); if ($size <= 0) { $size = 1; }
       if ($size >= 1000) { $measure = "MB"; $size = $size /  1000; } else { $measure = "K"; }
       print "<TD WIDTH=\"20%\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\" class=\"txt\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"verdana\">$size $measure</font></TD>"; // file size
       print "<TD WIDTH=\"20%\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\" class=\"txt\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"verdana\">$clean[5] $clean[6] $clean[7]</font></TD>"; // file date
       echo '</TR>';
} // end if
   } // end foreach loop 1

   echo '</TABLE>';

//close
ftp_close($conn);

?>

the script works but when it trying to list a file that has "space" it wont show the whole file name... maybe it's because i explode the file name... how can i fix this?

the file name

"This is the file name.ext"

showed

"This"
