Using Dropbox API in php, how to show files in user interface

[nshthmistry]

I have used Dropbox API in my website. I have completed Oauth and I'm successfully getting metadata. now i'm clueless..

MetaData:

Metadata content for /

 

Array

(

[hash] => 

[thumb_exists] => 

[bytes] => 0

[path] => /

[is_dir] => 1

=> 0 bytes

[root] => app_folder

[contents] => Array

(

[0] => Array

(

[revision] => 20

[rev] => 

[thumb_exists] => 1

[bytes] => 6974

[modified] => Fri, 28 Feb 2014 11:02:10 +0000

[client_mtime] => Fri, 28 Feb 2014 11:02:10 +0000

[path] => /skhan.jpg

[is_dir] => 

[icon] => page_white_picture

[root] => dropbox

[mime_type] => image/jpeg

=> 6.8 KB

)

 

 

How can i use this metadata to show files to users?

The metadata is an array. To get the information out of the array you need to loop through it. Example code to display files in a table

echo '<p>There are ' . count($metadata['contents']) . ' files in ' . $metadata['path'] . ':</p>
<table border=1 cellpadding=10>
  <tr>
   <th>Name</th>
   <th>Siize</th>
  </tr>';
foreach($metadata['contents'] as $file)
{
    echo '<tr>
   <td>' . $file['path'] . '</td>
   <td>' . $file['size'] . '</td>
  </tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
