Noob: input type="folder" ? NOT file

[Pemoamsi]

Hy,

I was wondering how do I make an input similar to the:

<input type="file" name="file_info"> 

but for folders. I'm trying to build an input were I select the folder and then when submit is set it prints all the files in the folder...

I would look at using the The DirectoryIterator class.
They have a lot of examples you can use on the PHP manual site.

I just used this to build a automatic path finder for a script.
Where the site owner can install the script and rename the core script folders
like: class, css, javascript, templates, modules, includes, functions, language, images, etc...
and they can put the "core" folders in any amount of directories above or below root
once you hit the main page, the software is setup using the new paths and directories.

Plus it monitors and checks the directories and files for tampering/hacking attempts and notifies the site owner.
It saves the site/script owner from the "wp-admin" type hacks and script inserts, where they take over your server without affecting the site, but use it for ftp storage, spamming or worse.

I have a NDA with the company, so I can't share the script here.

You should start getting grasp on using classes and PDO.
It will make you more valuable as a programmer.

And a very valuable tip...
Always... Always... Always... sanitize and check your data that you allow the end user to submit.

I did not write this, It was found on the php documentation site. Credit goes to the original author, I did however add some tweaks to the below function for some extra handy information. How this works? Send it a string of the file/dir you would like to get information for, this will output just about all the information you will need to create a directory management system. Use var_dump() or print_r() to show the output of this function.

You will also need this function as well.

function get_size($bytes){
$size = $bytes / 1024;
	if($size < 1024){
    $size = number_format($size, 2);
    $size .= ' KB';
    } 
	else{
		if($size / 1024 < 1024){
        $size = number_format($size / 1024, 2);
        $size .= ' MB';
        } 
		else if($size / 1024 / 1024 < 1024){
        $size = number_format($size / 1024 / 1024, 2);
        $size .= ' GB';
        } 
    }
return $size;
}
