Displaying files of another directory, in a different page.

[Tammy]

<?php
$dirname = '/home/path/glitters/quotes'; // adjust as needed, such as 'C:\web_root\download_folder' for Windows
$webdirname = '/glitters/quotes'; // what the directory appears as from the web browser's point of view

$dir = opendir($dirname);
$file_list = '';


// list files to ignore
$ignore = array( '.', '..', 'index.php');

while(($file = readdir($dir)) != false)
{
    // check that the current file is not within the $ignore list
    // and that it is not a directory
    if(!in_array($file, $ignore) && !is_dir($file))
    {
        // add the file to the list

        $str = substr($file, 0, -4);  /// strip the .php
        $str = explode("-", $str); // explode to remove hyphen(s)
        $str = implode(" ", $str);  // implode the hyphen(s) back into spaces
        $str = explode("_", $str); // explode to remove hyphen(s)
        $str = implode(" ", $str);  // implode the hyphen(s) back into spaces

        $file_list .= "<a class=\"subnav\" href=\"$webdirname/$file\">$str</a>";
    }
}

// and cross your fingers lol

closedir($dir);
?>


<?=$file_list?>

 

Now the code works say if i upload it

folder name glitters

open it via web address mysite.com/cool/glitters

 

it'll show up fine but say,

I php include the path of glitters to the cool index.php page

 

So when you open up the page yoursite.com/cool/

it'll show the files containing in glitters. Without showing the folders, or underscores, in glitters. Because that is what it does.

 

Thanks

How exactly doesn't it work? Try this:

 

<?php
$path = '/home/path/glitters/quotes';
$webpath = '/glitters/quotes/';

foreach (new DirectoryIterator($path) as $item) {
if (!$item->isFile() || ($filename = $item->getFilename()) == 'index.php' ) {
	continue;
}

echo '<a href="' . $webpath . $filename . '" class="subnav">' . str_replace(array('_', '-'), ' ', basename($filename, '.php')) . '</a><br>';
}
?>
