Storing Filenames and size into an array

[TapeGun007]

Here is my code, and I have no clue what I'm doing with this array because I cannot seem to find an article that displays what I'm trying to do.

 

$All_Files = array("Dir_Files" => array(FileName,FileSize));
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
		   $File_Size=filesize('Music_Library/'.$file);
    		   $File_Size=$File_Size/1048576;
		   $Dir_Files['$File_Name']['$File_Size'];
}

 

My problem is that I don't understand the syntax that I need here.

 

What I want to do is

1) Dump the file names of a directory into an array, and store the filesize

2) Sort the filename alphabetically.

This would do for your file size:

 

function bytes_to_string($size, $precision = 0) {
$sizes = array('YB', 'ZB', 'EB', 'PB', 'TB', 'GB', 'MB', 'KB', 'Bytes');
$total = count($sizes);
while($total-- && $size > 1024) $size /= 1024;
$return['num'] = round($size, $precision);
$return['str'] = $sizes[$total];
return $return;
}

 

			$stat				=	stat($file); // ... slow, but faster than using filemtime() & filesize() instead.
		$info				=	pathinfo($file);
		$item['name']		=	$info['filename'];
		$item['bytes']		=	$stat['size'];
		$total_size += $item['bytes'];
		$total_size = bytes_to_string($total_size, 2);

Yeah, that's not really the issue.  I'm not storing the filenames and filesize correctly in the array...well... at all actually.  I suppose (after further reading) I could create two arrays one for the filename and filesize, then merge them, sort, and then spit out the results....

[Ruzzas]

try sort(); then.

[TapeGun007]

Yes, I know... that's the easy part. 

 

My code above does NOT work.  I'm asking how to store those variable file names into an array, THEN sort it.  The code above is not storing the values into the array, because my syntax is incorrect.  That is what I'm asking for help on.

[Ruzzas]

are you trying to array a folder and the contents inside that?

[TapeGun007]

Yes, there is a folder called "Music_Library".  There are many .mp3 files and such in there.

 

I want to capture the filenames AND file sizes into a multidimensional array

 

For example:

$All_Files [Filename1]="Tigger.mp3"    [Fillesize1]="10 MB"

$All_Files [Filename2]="PooBear.mp3" [Filesize2]="5 MB"

$All_Files [Filename3]="Christopher.mp3" [Filesize3]="15 MB"

 

If I can simply store this type of information into an array as listed above, I can figure out the rest.  The problem is, my code doesn't work, it doesn't store anything into the array.  My code does spit out the filenames and sizes because I tested that already.

Look at glob and foreach, It can't get that much harder from there.

 

$array = null;
foreach (glob("/Music_library/*.mp3") as $filename) {
    $array[$filename] = $filename;
    $array[$filename]['filesize'] = filesize($filename)
}

 

Well, don't quote me on that working, but it is that simple.

hi i have similar problem, i have directory for each user, and user has permission to upload only ten files and these files stored in the below format, for example, if the user id is 299 and uploading only three files, and creating thumbanails with three sizes, then

 

299_1.jpg,299_1medium.jpg,299_1small.jpg

299_2.jpg,299_2lmedium.jpg,299_2small.jpg

299_3.jpg,299_3medium.jpg,299_3small.jpg

 

now i need to get only original image filenames in an array, like 299_1.jpg,299_2.jpg,299_3.jpg.

 

how should i do this?

[scvinodkumar]

I tried some thing like this

 

foreach (glob("/Music_library/[0-9]*_[0-9].jpg") as $filename) {

 

its displaying correctly, but still it has one problem, its not displaying file with name, 299_10.jpg

 

could u plz correct it

[TapeGun007]

glob() wasn't the answer, it was far from it actually.  I read up that, and it didn't apply to what I was trying to accomplish really.  My question was really that of syntax in storing to the array, and nothing seemed to spell out exactly what I needed.

 

I finally figured it out, and thought I'd post it here in the event someone ever needed this.

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('Music_Library')) {
$y==0;
    /* Read the files in the directory, then store it in an array to sort it alphabetically */
    $All_Files = array();
    	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
		/* Weed out the . and .. for going up one directory, so this keeps those from showing */
    		if ( $file != '.' && $file != '..' ) {
		   $y++;
		   $File_Size=filesize('Music_Library/'.$file);
    		   $File_Size=$File_Size/1048576;
		   $All_Files[$y]['FileName']=$file;
		   $All_Files[$y]['FileSize']=$File_Size;
		}
	}
    closedir($handle);
sort($All_Files);
print_r($All_Files);
}
?> 

 

My output shows just as I wanted it to:

 

Array ( [0] => Array ( [FileName] => Hermie.wma [FileSize] => 3.85604286194 ) [1] => Array ( [FileName] => Jolly.wav [FileSize] => 1.26176643372 ) [2] => Array ( [FileName] => Sing for Joy.mp3 [FileSize] => 8.63101959229 ) [3] => Array ( [FileName] => Wildlife.wmv [FileSize] => 25.0301609039 ) )

 

Now if there is a better way to accomplish this, then by all means enlighten me! :-)

[TapeGun007]

I did change one line of code actually to streamline the size of the file, just an FYI for noobs like me.

 

$All_Files[$y]['FileSize']=$File_Size;

 

To this:

$All_Files[$y]['FileSize']=number_format($File_Size,2)." MB";

 

Now I get this on the output:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [FileName] => Hermie.wma [FileSize] => 3.86 MB ) [1] => Array ( [FileName] => Jolly.wav [FileSize] => 1.26 MB ) [2] => Array ( [FileName] => Sing for Joy.mp3 [FileSize] => 8.63 MB ) [3] => Array ( [FileName] => Wildlife.wmv [FileSize] => 25.03 MB ) )

 

It just looks nicer.
