OAFC_Rob Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm in the middle of making my own CMS system, where a user can create a page online via a text editor, I know how to create and save the file, but to make the process easier I would like to a function where a user can click a button find a list of files and folders, pick the folder location to save a new file to. Instead of having to type something like this /commonPages/aboutUs/ with the file name being test.php What would be the easiest way to do this? I have just been looking at opendir() and my first thought was to use <input type="file" />, but then I remember that was only for inputting a particular file name, which would be useful for renaming a file at a later date. For example, if we wanted to change test.php to something more meaningful ie history.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmania1 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think scandir() would be a better option for what your wanting. It runs very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Rob Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yeah had a quick look at that and was trying to decide which was better for my situation, is there are any to implement either a browse button or structure that would make it easier for the user. I have quickly implemented opendir on the entire directory, echoing out files and folders. This is a good start, but doesn't mean squat to the user really, any suggestions? Also there could potentially be security risks coupled with this, ie the user seeing folders I dont want them to see or have access to. What limitations can I enforce?
