[SOLVED] Directories

[cheechm]

Hi,

Got this at the moment:

  if (!$action)
        {
            // directory path can be either absolute or relative
            $dirPath = '/home/niick/public_html/qw/forum/language/en/mods/';

            // open the specified directory and check if it's opened successfully
            if ($handle = opendir($dirPath))
            {

                // keep reading the directory entries 'til the end
                while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
                {

                    // just skip the reference to current and parent directory
                    if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
                    {
                        if (is_dir("$dirPath/$file"))
                        {
                            $template->assign_vars(array('S_DIR' => true));
                            $template->assign_block_vars('language', array('DIR' => $file));
                            // found a directory, do something with it?

                        } else
                        {
                            // found an ordinary file
                            $template->assign_block_vars('language', array('FILE' => $file));

                        }
                    }
                }

                // Close what we opened
                closedir($handle);
            }

        }

 

I want to remove the extension (ie .php / .html) when the files are listed. Is this possible?

 

Thanks

Use a regex to replace everything after a "." with "".  With that, there cannot be any other periods in the string unless you modify the regex a little bit more.

[Zhadus]

If you have file names that contain "."  also, you can explode the strings with "." and count the number of values in the array. Remove the last index and implode the remaining indexes with ".".

Could you give me some code for that? Just like a starting code or something.

I apologize, implode will not work, but here's some code and a little loop to do what I had meant by using implode().

 

<?php
$file = 'index.php';
$file2 = 'index.file.php';

$filearray = explode('.', $file);
$filearray2 = explode('.', $file2);

$filearray[(sizeof($filearray)-1)] = "";
$filearray2[(sizeof($filearray2)-1)] = "";

$file = "";
for ($x = 0; $x < (sizeof($filearray)-1); $x++) {
$file .= $filearray[$x];
if ($x !== (sizeof($filearray)-2))
$file .= '.';
}

$file2 = "";
for ($x = 0; $x < (sizeof($filearray2)-1); $x++) {
$file2 .= $filearray2[$x];
if ($x !== (sizeof($filearray2)-2))
$file2 .= '.';
}

echo $file . "\n"; // Will output "index"
echo $file2;       // Will output "index.file"
?>

Or:

 

<?php
$filename = 'file.test.php';

echo substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.')); // output: file.test

// OR

echo pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME); // output: file.test
?>

[Zhadus]

I just got completely owned by that code. Daniel0's code is definitely a little easier, simpler, and more efficient

[discomatt]

<?php

function remove_ext ( $filename ) {

$arr = explode('.', $filename);
if ( count($arr) === 1 )
	return $filename;
else
	return substr( $filename, 0, (strlen( end($arr) ) + 1) * -1 );

}

$file = 'this.is.a.test.jpg';

echo remove_ext($file);

?>

 

Hope that helps

 

[edit] using pathinfo() is probably best here [/edit]

Big thanks as usual guys.
