Help Needed !!! Php and Files

[golfinggod]

Hi all I am in need of some major help.

As part of my project I need to develop a system using php that can analyze a folder on my server and then read the file names within it.

I basically want.

1. To be able to upload a folder with an unspecified number of web pages in it.
2. To get php to read through the folder and then log all of the file names within the folder.

Is this possible and if so can someone please help ??

Thanks

🙂

if you are using PHP4 look at [man]opendir[/man] and [man]readdir[/man]. if you are using PHP5 look at [man]scandir[/man].

opendir etc all work with the local filesystem.

I don't know that the HTTP protocol allows folders/directories to be uploaded in the same way that files are. If you really don't want to upload the files individually, you may need to zip them into one file, upload that, and then have the script unzip therm and process each file.

Not a trivial job at all.

If you've got ftp access to the same directories, then that should make things a bit easer - certainly this is more of a job for ftp than http.
