PHP directory listing

[mattheww]

What one would like to do is show a particular directory's files, filesize and filetype of each file, I have the first bit where it echo's the filename out, but when I try filesize and filetype, it goes all wrong! I just can't seem to find out whats wrong!

 

I keep getting:

Warning: filetype() [function.filetype]: Lstat failed for Koala.jpg in ... on line 42

 

<?php

$path = "dir/";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))
{
   $filetype = filetype($file);
   if($file!="." && $file!=".."){
      echo "<tr class='dir'>";
      echo "<td><a href='dir/$file'>$file</a></td>";
      echo "<td>$filetype</td>";
      echo "<td></td>";
      echo "</tr>";
   }
}
closedir($dir_handle);
?>

 

I'm sure its something simple but, its really bugging me!

You need to specify the directory name where that file is. Your $file variable only contains the "basename" of that file and it doesn't exist in your script's root directory. Try it like this:

$filetype = filetype($path.$file);

ahh, that makes sense, Thanks lemmin!

That worked previously, which is good however i need the mime file thingo

 

so i did

$filetype = mime_content_type($path.$file);

 

and it hasn't worked saying a similar thing!

What is that error? Have you tried finfo_file()?
