displaying only certain filetype in directory

[macinslaw]

How is this done? I am not the most understanding person in programming, but I am trying.

I am wanting to display a directory, got the code to do so, but I only want to display .pdf files.

Thanks.

<?php

if(substr($file, 0, -3) == 'pdf'){
    // Display it;
}

?>

Something like that.

Of course you could always use:

<?php
$pdfs = array('application/pdf', 'application/x-pdf');

// Start to loop through the dir reading it
if(in_array($pdfs, mime_content_type($file)){
    // Display the file
}

?>

Thanks very much, though the one code has an error in it:

if(substr($file, 0, -3) == 'pdf'){
// Display it;
}

The 'zero' returns everything forward. This code resulted in a null, thus nothing displayed. However, by taking out the 0, the code worked as expected, as the -3 denotes the last 3 characters of the file regardless of file length.

Again, my thanks.

Yeah, sorry... my bad. It should have been:

substr($string, -3, 0);

But at least you got it working!!
