[How to Access Same Website Locally and Non-locally?]

Use an editor that can connect to a server, edit a file, save it locally and send it non-locally, though it does not work both directions, and check both in the browser

[scandir, recursive call prints an extra closing tag for xml install file]

Hi Kicken

 

Thank you for the answer. I was going through your explanation a couple of times.  When I changed the tags, eg

 

$allfiles .= '<filename>'.$dir.'/'.$f;

            

                        $allfiles .= '<filename>'.$dir.'/'.$f;   // first reading

 

            if(is_dir($dir.'/'.$f)) 

            {

                  $allfiles .= "</filename>\n";

                  readFolders($dir.'/'.$f);

            }

            $allfiles .= "</filename_AFTER>\n";          // third reading

 

the output was

             </filename_AFTER>

             </filename_AFTER>

 

not as I expected, i.e. first reading - skip if not is_dir - second reading

 

             <filename></filename_AFTER>

             <filename></filename_AFTER>

 

I must be very slow on the uptake, I apologize.

 

Thanks

[scandir, recursive call prints an extra closing tag for xml install file]

... but it is still a mystery for me why the original script outputs those extra closing tags when the loop goes from the deepest folder back ... and why only the closing tag, why not both, opening and closing, when I use

    $allfiles .=

before and after if(is_dir) condition.

 

Any ideas?

[scandir, recursive call prints an extra closing tag for xml install file]

I re-wrote the script and it worked. I also fixed the folder / filename tags.

 

$allfiles = '';

function readFolders($dir )

{

    global $allfiles;

 

    $files = scandir($dir);

 

    foreach($files as $f)

    {

        if($f != '.' && $f != '..')

        {       

            if(is_dir($dir.'/'.$f)) 

            {

                     $allfiles .= "<folder>".$dir.'/'.$f."</folder>\n";

                     readFolders($dir.'/'.$f);

            }

            else

            {

                      $allfiles .= '<filename>'.$dir.'/'.$f."</filename>\n";

            }

        }

    }

    

             $fp = fopen('xml_scandir.txt', 'w') or die('cannot open scandir.txt');

             fwrite($fp, $allfiles);

             fclose($fp);

}

 

 thanks for your time

Hi Freaks

I created a Joomla 1.5 install.xml using scandir.  For easier orientation, folders are capitalized and blue

My script

 

$allfiles = '';

function readFolders($dir )

{

global $allfiles;

 

    $files = scandir($dir);

 

    foreach($files as $f)

    {

        if($f != '.' && $f != '..')

        {

            $allfiles .= '<filename>'.$dir.'/'.$f;

            

            if(is_dir($dir.'/'.$f)) 

            {

                  $allfiles .= "</filename>\n";

                  readFolders($dir.'/'.$f);

            }

            $allfiles .= "</filename>\n";

        }

        

    }

    

$fp = fopen('xml_scandir.txt', 'w') or die('cannot open file');

fwrite($fp, $allfiles);

fclose($fp);

}

 

readFolders('com_reporter');

 

Question:

Why do I have those extra closing tags </filename> that attach outside if(is_dir) ? I would understand if the output came with empty tags, eg <filename></filename>

 

Thank you
