Help with getting files

[Schlo_50]

I have written a script that find files stored in folders and prints out links to them. This works but now im having problems with an else statement. If there are no files in the folder I want to print a sentence but the sentence prints more than once..

 

Can somebody help please?

 

  if ($handle = opendir($dir_path))  { 
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))  { 
    if (eregi("\.". $doc_types ."$", $file) || eregi("\.". $xls_types ."$", $file) || eregi("\.". $pdf_types ."$", $file))  {
     $tmp_file_path = $dir_path . $file; 
     print "<img src=\"images/word_icon.jpg\"> <b><a href=\"$tmp_file_path\">$file</a></b><br>"; 
       } 
   else {
   print "No Agendas or Minutes available. Please select another year.";
   }
     }
  closedir($handle); 
}

 

Thanks in advance!

Add a variable could be a quick fix.

 

 
$z = 0;

if ($handle = opendir($dir_path))  { 
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))  { 
    if (eregi("\.". $doc_types ."$", $file) || eregi("\.". $xls_types ."$", $file) || eregi("\.". $pdf_types ."$", $file))  {
     $tmp_file_path = $dir_path . $file; 
     print "<img src=\"images/word_icon.jpg\"> <b><a href=\"$tmp_file_path\">$file</a></b><br>"; 
       } 
   else if($z == 0) {
     print "No Agendas or Minutes available. Please select another year.";
                  $z = 1;
   }
     }
  closedir($handle); 
}

 

Cheers,
