Send function result to html page ?

[Peuplarchie]

Good day to you,

              here i'm listing files and send the result into a html file.

 

My problem,

          the result don,t seems to be written in the html file.

          Don't give me any error, just a black page.

 

here is my code :

<?php
		set_time_limit(90);
$directory = "Art/";
function dirList ($directory)
{

    //create 2 arrays - one for folders and one for files
   $folders = array();
   $files = array();

    // create a handler for the directory
    $handler = opendir($directory);

    // keep going until all files in directory have been read
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handler))) {  

        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
        // add it to the results array
        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
       
        // If file is directory, mark it in bold.

       if(is_dir($directory.$file)) {
        array_push($folders,$file);

	    if (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 604800) {
    $folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#DB1212;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";
} elseif (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 31556926) {
    $folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#003366;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";
} else {$folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";}


       
        // Else not styled
        }else{
        array_push($files,$file);
     $filenamecor = substr($file, 0, -4);
    if (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 604800) {
    $file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#DB1212;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';
} elseif (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 31556926) {
    $file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#003366;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';
} else {$file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#000000;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';}


    }
    }

    echo "<ul id=\"".preg_replace('/\//','_',substr($directory,0,strlen($directory)-1))."\">\n"; //start a new unordered list for every iteration through dirList

$dircor = $directory;
    // tidy up: close the handler
    closedir($handler);
    foreach($folders as $folder=>$file) {

      echo "<li><div class=\"folder\">".$folder_modified[$folder]."</div>"; //echo the folder name enclosed in a list item
        dirList($directory.$file.'/'); //loop through the contents of $folder
      echo "</li>\n"; //close this list item after all files and folders in $folder have been looped through
   
   
    }

    foreach($files as $key=>$file) {

      echo "<li><a href=\"index.html\" onclick=\"load('image_view.php?dir=".$dircor."&file=".$file."','boxdisp');return false;\"> ".$file_modified[$key]."</a></li>\n"; //echo the file name enclosed in a list item
    }


    echo "</ul>\n"; //close the unordered list
}





$filess=fopen(”menu.txt”,”w”) or die(”myfile.txt does not exist!”);

fwrite($filess, dirList($directory));


fclose($filess);


?>

 

Thanks !

Add this to the top of your script right after <?php

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", "on");

 

And see if an error shows up. If not chances are you have an infinite loop. If so post the errors here.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in Photos_gallery\update_menu.php on line 80

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in Photos_gallery\update_menu.php on line 80

What's line 80?

[wildteen88]

You should be using " and not ” on the last few lines of your script

 

Also nothing will be written to menu.txt as you're using echo within your function which will cause it to not return anything.

 

Instead of doing

 

echo 'whatever';

you should do

$output .= 'whatever';

Then at the last line of your function place the following line

return $output;

 

Now your function will return something which will get written to your file.

It don't work for me, error on line 58, first line where I replaced echo.

Syntax error near the bottom.

 

return $output;

See the semi-colon?

 

But why are you returning it? You're not in a function. Just echo.
