[RESOLVED] generating product pages from flat files.

[mikecola]

i need to write some php that will take a list of files and folders and generate a catalog product page based on the folder/file heirachy and have a maximum of 4 products per page but my php coding skills are extremely newbie-ish and i have no idea how or where to start on this.. i have used include() and requires() before but can anybody point me in the direction of a tutorial or script i can modify for this purpose?

thanks in advance,

mike

You will need to use several file and directory functions such as [man]opendir[/man], [man]fopen[/man], [man]fread[/man], [man]fclose[/man] and need to use loops and logic.

This link looks like it has some merit ... http://www.xentrik.net/php/flatfile.php
