[RESOLVED] Hiding folders from list view

kennyw1000

Hello everyone.

I found this cool little script that shows all the files in a folder and prints the results. It was made to paginate as well, but that doesn't work. I don't care about the pagination, so I have those lines commented out.

In the directory that I have my files in, I have a mixture of files and folders. I would like to hide the folders, so that only the files show up in the list.

Here is the script:

<?PHP
if (!$_GET["start"]) $_GET["start"] = 1;
$show = 10;

$dir = "/path/to/directory";
$thedir = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($thedir))){
if (in_array($file, array(".", ".."))) continue;
$files[] = $file;
}
$pages = ceil(count($files)/$show);

foreach ($files as $file){
$nr++;
//if ($nr >= $_GET["start"] && $nr < $_GET["start"]+$show){
print "$nr. <a href='$file'>$file</a>";
}
//}
?>

I think this is an easy fix, I'm just new to php.

Thanks.

if (in_array($file, array(".", "..")) or is_dir($file)) continue;

That worked great, Thanks!

I was wondering how I could hide some other stuff.

First, the index.php file resides in there, so I would like to hide it.

Second, how do I hide the extensions of the files. I just want the file name, and not the .php part.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You can just add in any matches for any of that stuff, to hide the result itself.

$hide = array('.', '..', 'index.php');
if (in_array($file, $hide) || is_dir($file)) continue;

To show only the filename, not the extension:

$file = basename($file, ".php")

or something similar should do it

Worked very well,

Thanks - You rock!

No problem - I just piggy backed it off NogDog's code 😛 Make sure to mark this resolved if it's all you needed.
