Searching headache...

[eckostar]

Ok, let's see where to start here...Here is what I have thus far, I will explain each item...

# Specific file type to search in and add to $dwf_ary
$spec_typ = "dwf";
# Specifies the specific directory to search in for $spec_typ
$spec_dir = "cds_dwf";
# Create array with each file name/location listed
$dwf_ary = glob("$spec_dir/*.$spec_typ");
# Array of strings to search for at very beginning of each file known
$dwf_vers = array("(DWF V06.00)", "(DWF V06.01)","(DWF V07.00)");

# Function to open each file located in $dwf_ary and search for $dwf_vers
function dwf_vwr($dwf_ary, $dwf_vers) {
	foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
		foreach ($dwf_vers as $verpos => $version) {
			$dwf_han = fopen($file,"r");
			$dwf_vpos = strpos($dwf_han, $version);
			if ($dwf_vpos === false) {
   			echo "The string '$version' was not found in the string '$file'.<br />";
			} else {
    		echo "The string '$version' was found in the string '$file'.<br />";
			}
		}
	}
}

The way it is right now, each file returns as not being any of the listed versions. I know for a fact that I currently have 2 files that are v6.01, 1 file that is v6.00, and 1 that is v7.00. I have been sitting here reading over the srtpos() at php.net and vigorously searching here, but everything that I try ends up with the same results.

What this will do in the end is display a section of code for each version that way when the user select a file it will display the code needed to display the correct viewer depending on the version number.

Thanks ahead of time..

You're not actually reading the file; just opening a file handle.

Recommend you use [man]file_get_contents[/man] instead of fopen.

Thanks weedpacket...but believe it or not i ended up realizing what my real problem was...i was leaving out the fread() function...see below...

function dwf_vwr($dwf_ary, $dwf_vers) {
	foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
		foreach ($dwf_vers as $verpos => $version) {
			$dwf_han = fopen($file,"r");
			$dwf_con = fread($dwf_han, "12");
			$dwf_vpos = strpos($dwf_con, $version);
			if ($dwf_vpos === false) {
   			echo "The string '$version' was not found in the string '$file'.<br />";
			} else {
    		echo "The string '$version' was found in the string '$file'.<br />";
    		echo " and exists at position $dwf_vpos";
			}
		}
	}
}

So I got that to work at least, but now, I am getting lost with trying to get it to work now that I have further developed the section...see where i am going wrong...if nothing else, point me in a good direction again, it really helps:

function dwf_vwr($dwf_ary, $dwf_vers) {
	foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
		foreach ($dwf_vers as $verpos => $version) {
			$dwf_han = fopen($file,"r");
			$dwf_con = fread($dwf_han, "12");
			$dwf_vpos = strpos($dwf_con, $version);
			if ($dwf_vpos === false) {
   			echo "The DWF file version you are trying to view is not currently supported by our system.<br />";
			fclose($dwf_han);
			} elseif ($version == $dwf_old) {
			function dwf_disp($dwf_ary) {
			foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
			$order++;
			$dwf_url = "http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf=http://";
			$dwf_url .= $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
			$dwf_url .= "/cds_new/";
			$dwf_url .= "$file";
			echo "$order - <a href=\"$dwf_url\" target=\"dwf_view\">$file</a><br />";
				}
			}
    		echo "<iframe id=\"dwf_view\" name=\"dwf_view\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\"></iframe><br />";
			fclose($dwf_han);
			} elseif ($version == $dwf_new) {
			function dwf_disp($dwf_ary) {
			foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
			$order++;
			$dwf_url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
			$dwf_url .= "/cds_new/";
			$dwf_url .= "$file";
			echo "$order - <a href=\"$dwf_url\" target=\"viewer\">$file</a><br />";
			echo "<object id=\"viewer\" classid=\"clsid:A662DA7E-CCB7-4743-B71A-D817F6D575DF\"
			codebase=\"http://www.autodesk.com/global/dwfviewer/installer/DwfViewerSetup.cab\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\">
			<param name=\"src\" value=\"'$dwf_url'\"></object>";
			fclose($dwf_han);
				}
			}
			} else {
			foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) {
			$order++;
			$dwf_url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
			$dwf_url .= "/cds_new/";
			$dwf_url .= "$file";
			echo "$order - <a href=\"$dwf_url\" target=\"viewer\">$file</a><br />";
			echo "<object id=\"viewer\" classid=\"clsid:A662DA7E-CCB7-4743-B71A-D817F6D575DF\"
			codebase=\"http://www.autodesk.com/global/dwfviewer/installer/DwfViewerSetup.cab\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\">
			<param name=\"src\" value=\"'$dwf_url'\"></object>";
			fclose($dwf_han);
				}
			}			
		}
	}
}

for one, I don't think i need to do the foreach ($dwf_ary as $order => $file) each time, only cause i have multiple listings now. thanks again in advance...
