Folder Issue

[evilgenius82]

Hey everyone,

Im new here & also quite new to PHP.

I am currently creating a project which reads files from a directory & lists the file names and certain file attributes.

 

I have done quite well so far (in my opinion) but have come across a small issue.

I have created a folder in the web directory & want to read files from it.

Unfortunately the script is not reading files from it & is still reading files from root.

 

I cant seem to fix at after playing around with the code for ages now.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

 

<? 
$dir_name = './file_pool/';                                                  //name of directory path.

$iterator = new DirectoryIterator(dirname($dir_name));   //Instance DI
foreach ($iterator as $fileinfo) {
   
   $link =( $fileinfo->getPathname());                                //store path name as variable
   
   if (!$fileinfo->isDot()) {                                                   //Removes the . & .. 
   if (!$fileinfo->isDir()) {                                                    //Removes other directories 
   
   
      
   echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>', $fileinfo->getBasename() . '</td>   
         <td>',  $fileinfo->getExtension() .   '</td>
         <td>',  $fileinfo->getSize() . '</td>
         <td>',  date("F d Y ", filemtime($fileinfo)). '</td>
         <td>',  '<a href=" ', $dir_name . $fileinfo ,' ">Download <a/> '  . '</td>
         <td>',hash_file('md5', $fileinfo).  '</td>' ;
   
   
   }
   }   
   
}

  
?>

Don't use dirname(). You should be able to just use the folder name as the parameter. $iterator = new DirectoryIterator('file_pool');

 

If that gives you problems, try realpath : $iterator = new DirectoryIterator(realpath('file_pool'));

Thank you Scootstah!

That solved it. Another issue which popped up is files such as .mp3, jpg & .psd are giving me warnings as shown in the image below. Other files such as .php and .css are fine.

 

Thanks again for your fast response.

Try using the absolute path to the file for filemtime() and hash_file().

Hi everyone,

I managed to fix it!

 

Below is the code:

 

$iterator = new DirectoryIterator($dir_name);   //Instance DI
foreach ($iterator as $fileinfo) {

$link =( $fileinfo->getPathname());             //store path name as variable

if (!$fileinfo->isDot()) {                //Removes the . & .. 
if (!$fileinfo->isDir()) {               //Removes other directories 



echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>', $fileinfo->getBasename() . '</td>   
         <td>',  $fileinfo->getExtension() .   '</td>
         <td>',  $fileinfo->getSize() . '</td>
         <td>',  date("F d Y ", filemtime($link)). '</td>
        
         
	 <td>',  '<a href=" ', $dir_name , '/' , $fileinfo ,       ' ">Download <a/> '  . '</td>

	 <td>',hash_file('md5', $link).  '</td>' ;
