[RESOLVED] Browse Directory Script

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

I have a browse directory script. How do I ensure that certain folders within the directory are not displayed?

Also the script shows the current dir(.) and one level up dir(..) How can I filter these out?

$current_dir = 'uploads/';
$dir = opendir($current_dir);

echo "<p>Upload directory is $current_dir<br />";
echo 'Directory Listing:</p><hr /><p>';
while ($file = readdir($dir))
{
 			echo "$file<br />";
}
echo '</p><hr />';

closedir($dir);

Thanks.

Kevin.

just use an if() to filter your results.

$current_dir = 'uploads/'; 
$dir = opendir($current_dir); 

echo "<p>Upload directory is $current_dir<br />"; 
echo 'Directory Listing:</p><hr /><p>'; 
while ($file = readdir($dir)) 
{
    if ($file != '.' || $file != '..') {
        echo "$file<br />";
    } 
} 
echo '</p><hr />'; 

closedir($dir);

I haven't tested this, but try this:

  $current_dir = 'uploads/'; 
  $dir = opendir($current_dir);
  $disallow=array('privatedir1','privatedir2','privatedir3'); 

  echo "<p>Upload directory is $current_dir<br />"; 
  echo 'Directory Listing:</p><hr /><p>'; 
  while ($file = readdir($dir)){
    if (($file != '.' || $file != '..') && (!in_array($file,$disallow))){
      echo "$file<br />";
    } 
  } 
  echo '</p><hr />'; 

  closedir($dir);

I have added an array to hold the names of all the folders you wish to 'protect', and added a check to if to see if the latest $file-variable matches any of the entries in this array...

Hope it works 🙂
