reading folder

realcoder

hi
i am a making a site in which m saving a songs information in database then fetching that out for inserting song link m using readdir function that read all song in a folder then save them in database
but i have problem
when that read file name
.mp3 also include with that which i don't want to show on page where i fetch that
mean simply i want that i can insert song name separately and file separately... and i want to use readdir also for getting file name becoz that easy way instead of upload through panel ..? any idea or solution about adding separately file name 😕😕

realcoder

after writing this code

$dir = "A Flat";
$open = opendir($dir);

while(false !== ($read = readdir($open))){
    if($read != '.' && $read != '..'){


echo $read."<br />";}
}

out is this

01 - Meetha Sa Ishq.mp3
02 - Dil Kashi.mp3
03 - Chal Halke Halke.mp3
04 - Pyar Itna Na Kar.mp3
05 - Meetha Sa (unplugged).mp3
06 - Dil Kashi.mp3
07 - Meetha Sa (partymap mix).mp3

full file name
i will insert these data in table song in link column
but i need also the name of songs for inserting in name colum which i show on page to show people name of songs
because if the same name i put in name field so .mp3 will be with every name that will not look good
so how i add also separete name of these songs which will be in directory

One way is to use [man]basename/man with the suffix. Another way is to use [man]pathinfo/man by only specifying PATHINFO_FILENAME,

Those are links to the PHP manual. Read the articles that I linked to in order to understand what they do, and think about how they can be used to solve your problem.

That's probably because $read is just a file name, whereas [man]filesize/man of course expects a complete path (it can't guess which directory you're looking at, naturally). In other words, you'll have to prepend the path you gave to opendir() to the file name when calling filesize().

Also note that [man]glob/man is often easier/cleaner to use than the separate [read/open/close]dir() functions.
