Array issue

[peterg012]

Hi,

I can put all directories into an array. Thats the easy part for me.

//search a folder and puts all directory names into array using a loop

dirname[0] = "General Documents"
dirname[1] = "HR Documents"
dirname[2] = "Policies"

This is where I am stuck-> For each directory in the array e.g. "General Documents" - dirname[0], I want to put all the files in "Genral Documents" into a seperate array. How do I do this? Is there a better way?

Thanks
Peter

Why not create a two-dimensional array?

dirname[0][0] = "General Documents", "File 1"
dirname[0][1] = "General Documents", "File 2"
etc.

Perhaps simpler(?) would be:

$directories = array(
   'general_documents' => array(
      'file1',
      'file2',
      'file3'
   ),
   'hr_documents' => array(
      'file1',
      'file2',
      'file3',
      'file4'
   )
);

Then if you want a list of files in the 'hr_documents' directory:

echo "<ul>\n";
foreach($directories['hr_documents'] as $filename)
{
   echo "<li>$filename</li>\n";
}
echo "</ul>\n";
