So the double quotes within single quotes is wrong and i should concatenate instead?

My below code uses a bit of Flash to create a mini mp3 player button for each mp3 in a directory. As it stands there are 3 test files in the directory but for some reason only the first flash player button is displayed and not the name of the file. So for some reason the loop is failing after the embedded flash. Any ideas? <?php $arr = array(); foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) { $arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename); } arsort($arr); echo "<br>"; foreach($arr as $key => $value) { if ( $key !== "filelist3.php") { echo '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key" width="17" height="17">'; echo '<param name="movie" value="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key"/>'; echo '<img src="noflash.gif" width="17" height="17" alt="" />'; echo "$key<br>"; } } ?>

No luck. When I used your script directly with www.site.com It showed 3 broken flash links and 3 $key's. That is how many files are in the folder. But when I put the correct site in it only display the first button.

I have a simple script that reads through a directory of files (mp3s) and displays the files. The script also uses the XSPF player to show a small Flash mp3 player for each file so that the mp3 can be previewed. However when I run the script only the first song button and not the song name will show up. I have a feeling it is something to do with the quotes of the embedded flash but am not sure. <?php $arr = array(); foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) { $arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename); } arsort($arr); echo "<br>"; foreach($arr as $key => $value) { if ( $key !== "filelist3.php") { echo "<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.site.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.site.com/REPOSITORY/$key" width="17" height="17">"; echo "<param name="movie" value="http://www.site.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.site.com/REPOSITORY/$key"/>"; echo "<img src="noflash.gif" width="17" height="17" alt="" />"; echo " $key<br>"; } } ?> Any ideas? Thanks for your help, ian

Was able to get your code to do what I want: Thanks. <?php $arr = array(); foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) { $arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename); //echo $filename . " was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', filemtime($filename)) . "<br>"; } /// //asort($arr); //echo "<br>"; //foreach($arr as $key => $value) //{ // echo "$key was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', $value) . "<br>"; //} /// arsort($arr); echo "<br>"; foreach($arr as $key => $value) { echo "$key<br>"; } ?>

No errors with GLOB just no results. Your script seems to work. How would I modify this to list the files by date?

Brian. Those scripts worked but the second one showed everything in all directories. But neither do any kind of sorting by date? I know how to display a list of files I just don't know how to sort it by date.

I tired some scripts with glob in them but they just didn't do anything. I was probably using them wrong. Could you show me a functional example?

This is as far as I have been able to get with it. $path = "REPOSITORY"; $narray=array(); $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); echo "Directory Listing of $path<br/>"; $i=0; while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { if(is_dir($file)) { continue; } else if($file != '.' && $file != '..') { //echo "<a href='$path/$file'>$file</a><br/>"; $narray[$i]=$file; $i++; } } rsort($narray); for($i=0; $i<sizeof($narray); $i++) { echo "<a href=".chr(34).$path.$narray[$i].chr(34).">".$narray[$i]."</a><br/>"; } //closing the directory closedir($dir_handle);

I am trying to create a script that displays files that have been uploaded to a directory in order from newest to oldest files. So by date modified or date created. I have found a few scripts online but haven't been able to get any of them to work properly. If anyone could show me how its done or point me to a good script it would be much appreciated. Thanks, ian

I am adding a countdown timer to my todo list that grabs the due date of a todo item from my DB and then creates a timer that counts down based on the current date. The timer code seems to work fine. However when I add it to my output code for my todo list it causes the list to fall into an infinite loop putting out table rows. After outputting the first todo item and timer correctly. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The timer is include "timer/timer.php"; on line 131 of the todo code and current commented out. Thanks for your time.

Oh it works fine without the javascript. The javascript is a new addition im adding in.

My below todo list code displays all the todo items and children from a DB. I have just added in a live javascript countdown so you can set a date for a todo item and have a live countdown of how long you have left to complete the todo item. The countdown script that pulls the date from the DB and creates the countdown <div> seems to work fine. But it throws the php into a infinite loop that starts echoing out line after line of table rows. Display Code: All the extra table rows are echoed out right after the include "menu.php" wich is just a button to add a new todo item. The include for the timer is farther down at line 131. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" > <?php error_reporting(E_All); session_start(); session_register('sort'); if ($_session['sort'] == NULL) { $_session['sort'] = $HTTP_GET_VARS[sort];

I changed it to include "../dbconnect.php"; and it seems to work. That is what it was originally so I dunno...

allow_url_include does not exist in my php.ini file. I did not make any changed it was always set to ON. And have restarted WAMP a couple times.

I am receiving this error: Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in C:\www\idea\timer\timer.php on line 9 Line 9 of my code is: include "http://localhost/idea/dbconnect.php"; I checked my php.ini and allow_url_fopen is on. allow_url_fopen = On Am running WAMP. Any ideas?

Thanks, Im playing with the SELECT DATE_FORMAT mysql now.

My below code to format the time in a DB echo's two different times. The first date being correct. the date is stored in the db as a DATETIME value. $query = "SELECT duedate FROM ideas WHERE id = '18'"; $result = mysql_query($query); $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result); $duedate = $rows[0]; echo $duedate; echo "<br>"; $duedate = date('F j Y H:i:s',$duedate); echo "<br>"; echo $duedate; exit(); Output: 2007-12-28 14:59:59 December 31 1969 16:33:27 Any reason why they are different? Am I using date() incorrectly? Thanks for your time, ian

That did not work. And I am not sure I understand it. I am not sure why people post bits of code in the help forum where those of us who need help don't know what we are doing. I used the below instead: include 'dbconnect.php'; //gets the idea background color from DB $query = "SELECT idea_bg_color FROM settings LIMIT 1"; $result = mysql_query($query); $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result); $idea_bg_color = $rows[0]; //gets the child background color from DB $query = "SELECT child_bg_color FROM settings LIMIT 1"; $result = mysql_query($query); $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result); $child_bg_color = $rows[0]; echo $idea_bg_color; echo "<br>"; echo $child_bg_color; exit;

I have a table called settings that has simple one field rows to store the value for that settings: Field: value: idea_bg_color 99999 child_bg_color 66666 and so on. What is the best way to pull the value from just the one single row/field? Thanks for your time, ian

My script for returning the mime type of a file does not seem to work: $handle = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME); echo $mime_type = finfo_file($handle,$file_name); exit(); Errors: Warning: finfo_open() [function.finfo-open]: Failed to load magic database at '(null)'. in C:\www\idea\imagebox\add_image.php on line 147 Warning: finfo_file(): supplied argument is not a valid file_info resource in C:\www\idea\imagebox\add_image.php on line 148 I did have to turn on php_fileinfo in WAMP for this. Is there something else I need to turn on? Thanks

I am now getting a similar parse error. The below code worked once. Then I tried to add additional image/types to the upload script in the if statement and it failed. Even after removing new code.

Oh yea... *hands head in shame* Thanks!

My below code is generating this parse error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '{' in C:\www\idea\imagebox\add_image.php on line 45 Line 45 is: function copy_image( $file_name ); $action = $HTTP_POST_VARS[action]; if ($action == "copy") { function copy_image( $file_name ); } if ($action == "upload") { function upload_image( $imagefile ); } Functions below.

Changed it to: if(!empty( $_POST['imagefile'] )) { //If the Submitbutton was pressed do: still no luck.
