[RESOLVED] how to make a list of directories on the server

[auday1982]

Hello

how are you all?

i currently learning php , and i am still trying different things.

if i have a local server ( wamp server ) or hosting server

and for example i am going to have these folders

/ modules

• module1

• module2

• module3

• module4

• module5

and then for example i have files called index.php in each folder and i need to link to them

<a href="module1/index.php"> use module 1 </a>

i am learning php and trying to create a cms , lets say nuke like , and i want to display folder names in the menu , and link it to the file that will edit or change the module

i need something to list the folders for me ...

thanks

hello

resolved , i found this php built in function
scandir , which will return array of all files ,including some "." and ".." which i think mean the folder itself also listed

and i also found the tutorial on php dot net is good because someone posted

This script worked perfectly for me in removing the . and .. plus made the files into links for quick viewing. Might be handy.
<?php
$dir = '../quickhelp/Accounts'; // Your Directory
$files = scandir($dir, 0);
for( $ctr = 1; $ctr < sizeof( $files ); $ctr++ ) {
if($files[$ctr] != "." && $files[$ctr] != "..")
print "<li><a href='Accounts/$files[$ctr]' target='viewer'>$files[$ctr]</a></li>";
}
?>

this is good .. now i know how to list the directories and how to start displaying them ... normally from array key [2] because 0 and 1 = dots

and now the script above do it nicely by variable , so whatever number of folders and files , i can display them in short code

thanks
