[Need comments section for my photography site]

Thanks Andrew. I'll give it a try once I get back home (working & living in different cities).

[Need comments section for my photography site]

Hello all,

 

It's been while since I have written something here! One more thing; my knowledge about PHP is almost zero. Though I can understand syntax somewhat if explained.

 

OK, I have my own photography site (http://kamranki.com:1300/images/photography/index.html) here. I want visitors to be able to leave their comments on photos page (something like comments on blog articles). My webserver setup is as follows:

 

- Windows XP Professional SP3

- Abyss Web Server

- PHP 5.2 for Windows

 

Since port 80 is blocked by my ISP, I have to resort to using port 1300.

 

Photo thumbnails link to separate HTML files:

index01.html

index02.html

index03.html

index04.html

.

.

.

and so on

 

Since I'm looking for a simple setup, I don't mind having comments stored in a text file (I think that setting up a database could complicate things so not really interested in going that way). The text file could be a common text file for all photos (with sections dividing comments for each photo) or a separate text file for each photo.

 

Something like:

 

index01.html >> index01.txt

index02.html >> index02.txt

index03.html >> index03.txt

index04.html >> index04.txt

.

.

.

and so on

 

 

Managing comments from a separate console or panel is not really a priority as I can always edit the text file(s) by hand. I could look into that later.

 

Any pinpointers would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

[Display files from local drives on webpage]

Here's what I was able to manage; a simple listing of contents of c:\temp on the PC. But how can I make these files downloadable? I tried looking at some other sample scripts from around the web but was unable to get anything working.  :-[

Following are the contents of download.php:

[hr]
[font=Courier]
<font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="black">

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('c:\\temp'))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
echo "$file <br>";


}
}
}
?>
[/font]

[hr]

[Display files from local drives on webpage]

Yes Thorpe, you got it right. I want to display files from outside of the root. For example, files and folders from various different partitions.

[Display files from local drives on webpage]

Hello everyone,

Since I'm a complete beginner, please excuse any errors or mistakes. I don't have any scripting experience to speak of but I mostly manage by copy and pasting. In most conditions, I am able to understand the syntax.

I have set up a simple webserver for uploading files. It can be accessed at:

[url=http://www.kamranki.com:1300/upload/user/upload.php]http://www.kamranki.com:1300/upload/user/upload.php[/url]

The webserver machine uses the following:

- Windows XP Professional SP2
- Abyss Web Server X1
- PHP

I would like to list local folders and their contents on the webpage so that I can access my files from anywhere. I already have an FTP server running but I would also like to access my files through HTTP. I don't need a complex setup but rather a very simple listing of files from a specific folder on the hard drive. I should be able to download the file by clicking on it's name.

I would like to know if there's a function for listing files from local folders. Any examples will do just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Kamran
