[RESOLVED] How to read files?

peterg012

Hi,

Could anybody help me with some sample code on how to list all files in a directory?

Please help,

Thanks :evilgrin:

readdir

Houdini

Just enter the directory in the root of the webserver or the path to the directory and use this

<?php
$handle = "enter/the/directory/path/here";//like includes or templates/images 
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
           echo "$file\n<br>";
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

That is the readdir() function you can find that function in the list of function that are in the second link in my signature.

A
apple
B
boy
C
cat

It comes out as AappleBboyCcat. It looses to carriage returns? Any help?
