[SOLVED] Excluding files from menu

[pcw]

Hi, I am using this script to list all the folders in the selected directory, it is part of a templates modification script I have written:

 

<?php
$directory = "templates/";
$handle = opendir($directory);
while ($folder = readdir($handle))
{
$folders[] = $folder;
}
closedir($handle);
sort($folders);

print "<form action='admin.php?cmd=file' method='POST'>";
print "<select name='temp_folder'>";
print "<option>Choose folder</option>";
foreach ($folders as $folder) {
if (($folder != ".") And ($folder != "..")) {
print sprintf("<option value='$directory/%s'>%s</option>", $folder, $folder);
}
}
print "</select>";
print "<input type='submit' name='tmpupdate' value='update'>";
print "</form>";
?>

 

However, I would like to exclude a folder from this list, as it contains folders that I do not want the user to be able to edit. Is this possible, and how do i do it?

 

Thanks

$directory = "templates/";
$arrNotAllowed = array("config", "includes");
$handle = opendir($directory);
while ($folder = readdir($handle))
{
   if(!in_array($folder, $arrNotAllowed)) {
    $folders[] = $folder;
   }
}

 

something like this..Note tested. you may face some issues with paths though

Either tag it somehow, keeping an array list of files.

or tag anything that starts with a . (files in linux that start with . are hidden) to not display

if (($folder[0] != "."))

should do the trick

Thanks Samshel, that worked great
