Hidong certain file types from directory listing

[chrisvilla]

Hi, i'm quite new to this but am trying to learn.

Heres the problem. I have an apache server hosting some of my files, and inside the folders i have a php file (phpdl v2) to make things look prettier than the basic directory listing.

I have edited the .htaccess file to hide .jpg .db *.ini files. This works if i dont use php. However whenever i use the php file to list the contents of the directory, all of these files show.

Is there any way of hiding them?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Of course; in the PHP script that scans the directory for files, modify it to exclude those with the appropriate file extensions.

I have tried this but as of yet am unfamiiar with php code. Pretty sure the following code is the part which scans the directories, and I have tried fidling with it without any success. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

/[FONT="Courier New"]/ Get this folder and files name.
$this_script = basename(FILE);
$this_folder = str_replace('/'.$this_script, '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

// Declare vars used beyond this point.
$file_list = array();
$folder_list = array();
$total_size = 0;

// Open the current directory...
if ($handle = opendir('.'))
{
// ...start scanning through it.
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
// Make sure we don't list this folder, file or their links.
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != $this_script)
{
// Get file info.
$stat = stat($file); // ... slow, but faster than using filemtime() & filesize() instead.
$info = pathinfo($file);

		// Organize file info.
		$item['name']		=	$info['filename'];
		$item['lname']		=	strtolower($info['filename']);
		$item['ext']		=	$info['extension'];
			if($info['extension'] == '') $item['ext'] = '.';
		$item['bytes']		=	$stat['size'];
		$item['size']		=	bytes_to_string($stat['size'], 2);
		$item['mtime']		=	$stat['mtime'];

		// Build links. Add interactivity. Be cool.
		if(in_array($item['ext'], array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'bmp'))) // thickbox for images
		{
			$item['link'] = '<a class="thickbox" href="'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'">'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'</a>';
		}
		elseif(in_array($item['ext'], array('mov', 'mpg', 'mpeg'))) // thickbox for quicktime
		{
			$item['link'] = '<a class="thickbox" href="'.$this_script.'?display=quicktime&file='.$item['name'].'.'.$item

['ext'].'&TB_iframe=true&width='.$vWidth.'&height='.$vHeight.'">'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'</a>';
}
elseif($item['ext'] == 'flv') // thickbox for flv's'
{
$item['link'] = '<a class="thickbox" href="'.$this_script.'?display=flv&file='.$item['name'].'.'.$item

['ext'].'&TB_iframe=true&width='.$vWidth.'&height='.$vHeight.'">'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'</a>';
}
elseif($item['ext'] == 'mp3') // thickbox for mp3's'
{
$item['link'] = '<a class="thickbox" href="'.$this_script.'?display=mp3&file='.$item['name'].'.'.$item

['ext'].'&TB_iframe=true&width=200&height=20">'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'</a>';
}
else // standard link
{
$item['link'] = '<a href="'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'">'.$item['name'].'.'.$item['ext'].'</a>';
}

		// Add files to the file list...
		if($info['extension'] != '')
		{
			array_push($file_list, $item);
		}
		// ...and folders to the folder list.
		else
		{
			array_push($folder_list, $item);
		}
		// Clear stat() cache to free up memory (not really needed).
		clearstatcache();
		// Add this items file size to this folders total size
		$total_size += $item['bytes'];
    }
}
// Close the directory when finished.
closedir($handle);

}
// Sort folder list.
if($folder_list)
$folder_list = php_multisort($folder_list, $sort);
// Sort file list.
if($file_list)
$file_list = php_multisort($file_list, $sort);
// Calculate the total folder size
if($file_list && $folder_list)
$total_size = bytes_to_string($total_size, 2)[/SIZE][/FONT];[/COLOR]

Thanks :-D

😕 Any tips on how? Have been trying for hours without any success.

There's a section in that code that generates HTML output for jpg/jpeg file extensions; if you're trying to hide these files, just remove the HTML output.
