stristr and filenames

davo666

well, this isnt really a problem, more of a "its not advanced enough"

i have this code

<?php

$cols = array_chunk($files, 5);  // 5 columns
foreach($cols as $col)
{
   echo "<tr>";
   foreach($col as $filename)
   {
      echo "<td>"; 
			echo stristr($filename,".");
	  echo " <div align=\"center\">$filename</div>
				</td>";
   }
   echo "</tr>\n";
}

?>

</table>

and it shows a table, good, it shows filenames and above the extensions BUT

there are some problems - first it shows the dot

eg:
.php

Second if a folder has a . in it it returns as a filename eg

folder.withdot

returns

.withdot

and third if there is two dots it returns this

.inc.php

im thinking i need a regex function, but i dont know of any, after 3hrs of googling i got stristr

but it comes up short when your dealing with filenames.....
also how do you determine if its a folder or file???

this data is coming from an ftp server, so how do i read the metadata

thats a lot of info so thanks

[man]is_file[/man], [man]is_dir[/man], [man]pathinfo[/man], but there are many other functions that may help u, just search in the php manual ...
