[RESOLVED] Directory tasks

darylr

Hi everyone,

Im looking to do some work with directories. Basically, there are some directories which I want my website users to access fully, and see all the files in there. My server allows index of directories automatically, where users can see all the files in the directory (unless there is an index page). like so: http://reavirtual.com/testdirectory/

There are some directories that I want my users to be able to access (like the above), however, is there anyway of giving it a better appearence? Or would an IFRAME work as well?

Or is there any form of code which can receive the file names and links from the directory and echo it on pages?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

ClarkF1

glob() is your best bet.

Save the results in an array and then loop through and output displaying how you like.

Thanks Clark, just one question: how do I specify what directory to retrieve the results from?

Sorry, Ive no experience with any directory commands :rolleyes:

<? 
$dir = dir("/web-root/charts/EICK");


foreach (glob("*.pdf") as $filename) {
   echo "$filename <b>size:</b> " . filesize($filename) . "<br>";
}
?>

Sorry, it helps to search 😃

Got it working using;

$dir = dir("/web-root/charts/EICK");


foreach (glob("/web-root/charts/EICK/*.pdf") as $filename) {
   echo "$filename <b>size:</b> " . filesize($filename) . "<br>";
}

Thanks!
