Parsing c:/ drive

[ashleyxxx]

I am having trouble trying to open all the sub folders and viewing all of the files on the computer. Any help or thoughts how I could accomplish this.

<?php
$dir ='c:';
$sub_dir ='';
$dir_array =array();
$i = 0;
//error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_WARNING);
$x = opendir($dir) or die ('No files exist');
while (($folder = readdir($x)) !== false) {
if($folder!='.' && $folder!='..')
{
$folders = $dir.'/'.$folder;
}
else
{
$files = $folder='.' && $folder='..';
}
//Need to add some more code to handle files

$file = explode('\r\n',$folders);
foreach($file as $directory)
{
if (count($directory) > 0 && $directory != false)
{
//NOW I PUT IT IN ARRAY
$dir_array[] = $directory;

	if (!is_array($dir_array))
	{
		return false;	


	}
	else
	{

	$b = $dir_array[$i++];
	echo($b).'<br>';


	}

    }
  }

}

?>

As mentioned in your other thread, it would be a lot simpler if you replaced all of the *dir() functions with a simple call to [man]glob/man.

For the recursion, you'd simply loop through every element in the array returned by glob() and use something like [man]is_dir/man to see if that element is a directory. If it is, then call glob() again inside of that directory.

EDIT: Also, when posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

i have a bad news for you, c:\ is a drive on your server out of the apache+PHP server's range. You can list these files but you cannot make direct links to them.

Here is what I am trying to do I pasted the code so you would get a better understanding hopefully. I would like to use glob() so I am searching everything I can about it. I am not sure that i need a direct link. I just need it to open each folder on the c drive and view all of its files and contents . Or that can not be done because I need a direct link is that what you are saying.
<?php
$dir ='c:';

$sub_folder ='';

$dir_array =array();
//*********PARSE VALUES***********************************
$badwords = '';
//**************************************************************
$drives = array('A:','B:','C:','D:','E:','F:',
'G:','H:','I:','J:','K:','L:','M:','N:','O:','P:',
'Q:','R:','S:','T:','U:','V:','W:','X:','Y:','Z:');

$i = 0;

//error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_WARNING);
$x = opendir($dir) or die ('No files exist');
while (($folder = readdir($x)) !== false) {
if($folder!='.' && $folder!='..')
{
$folders = $dir.'/'.$folder;
}
else
{
$files = $folder='.' && $folder='..';
}
//Need to add some more code to handle files

$file = explode('\r\n',$folders);
foreach($file as $directory)

  {
	if (count($directory) > 0 && $directory != false)
  {
	  $dir_array[] = $directory;

	if (!is_array($dir_array))
	{
		return false;		
	}
	else
	{
	$b = $dir_array[$i++];
	echo($b).'<br>';
	}

    }
  }
  switch (true)
  {
  case preg_match($directory,$badwords);
  $badwords = $file;
  $words = false;
  break;
  case preg_match();
  break;
  case preg_match();
  break;
  case preg_match();
  break;
  case preg_match();
  break;	  
  }

}
?>

I checked your site out that is really cool. I will be signing up but the code I need can not be generated. Everybody talks about glob and I tried it and it does not seem to work for me. I do not need any clickable links either. just like I open the c:/ I need to list all the folders then go back around and open the listed folders and so on. I just need some help sorry guys I know I have been troublesome with this. But thank you all for your patience.

the user note "Non-recursive search files, proceeding down directory tree." on the glob page is 90&#37; of what you want to do.

this whole thing will fail quickly, the root dir on a windows machine contains the swap file, you really think you can read that?

you do know you're just scanning your own machine?

yes I know I am just scanning my own machine.n So how do i read that?

i did not test it:

<?php

$out=exec("dir c:\\*.* /b /ad /s" , $output);
foreach($output AS $fil)
{
echo $fil."<br />";
}

?>

in command promt you can save this list as a file.

$out=exec("dir c:\\*.* /b /ad /s >filenames.txt");

Then you can process filenames.txt in your php program.

You are great I dont know what i did but Its working for metoo. is that the same as glob function

Will this also alow me to write it to a text file or use preg_match on this function (exec).

I get a Notice (Notice: Array to string conversion in) Im curious why

[djjjozsi]

inside the foreach cycle you get back the lines, you don't need to explode/implode it.
This is not the enter: '\r\n' , this is a backslash r backslash and n!

You should use "\r\n" instead and double qoutes.

you don't have "enters" in the lines...

Is That why I have a problem writing it to a file;
I also tried this but I always get a memory error.

<?php
set_time_limit(160);
session_write_close();
$cmd = exec("dir c:\. /b /ad /s" , $output);
session_start();
foreach($output as $file)
{
$val = $file;

$fp = fopen('data.txt','a+');
fwrite($fp, $val);
fclose($fp);
}//
$handle = fopen("data.txt", "r");
$contents = stream_get_contents($handle);
echo $contents.'<br>';
fclose($handle);

?>

but this code saves the folder names into a text file for you.

exec("dir c:\\*.* /b /ad /s >filename.txt" );

Please use the PHP bbtags around your codes.

You are amazing I learn so much from here that is really cool. Thank you so much.😃

you can add the proper file location where it will be saved.

c:\somewhere\otherfolder\some.txt
