Problem with showing/hiding files with list directory.

[ted_chou12]

See the code below:
<?php
$dir = ".";
$file = readdir($dh);
if($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
echo "<table border=0><td><font size=5 face=\"arial\"><b>Username:</b> <a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br></font></td>"."\n";}
closedir($dh);}
?></table>
This is a list directory php script, i want to know if it is possible to both show and hide files.
ps. please teach me how to show and hide both specific files (ie. with specific filename), and general types,(eg. types of files with same file extension).
THANKS, to anyone who replies with a solution. :D

Use glob (*.ext) or loop excluding files with extensions you want to hide.

[ted_chou12]

how about specific files?

[joquius]

[code]
$exclude = Array ('file1.ext', 'file2.ext');
foreach (glob ($dir."*") as $file) {
if (!in_array ($file, $exclude)) echo $file;
}
[/code]
for example

I change it a little, you should be able to copy and paste this
[code]<?php
$namearray = array("thisfile", "thatfile"); // File names you want to exclude
$extarray = array("ini", "txt");  //extension you want to exclude
$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if($file != "." && $file != ".."){
      if(filetype($file) == "file"){
      $filearray = explode(".", $file);
      $files[$filearray[0]] = $filearray[1];
      }
    }
  }
closedir($handle);
}
foreach($files as $name => $ext){
  if(in_array($name, $namearray, false) || in_array($ext, $extarray, false)){
  } else {
    echo "<table border=0><td><font size=5 face=\"arial\">Username: <a href=\"".$name.".".$ext."\">".$name.".".$ext."</font></td>"."\n";
  }
}
?>[/code]

THanks :D

[ted_chou12]

what about if i want to show directories, is there a way to do that?
thanks again :)

[trq]

[code=php:0]
if (filetype($file) == "file" || filetype($file) == "dir")
[/code]

[ted_chou12]

where do i add it to? (into the script):
if (filetype($file) == "file" || filetype($file) == "dir")
thanks for helping :)

[trq]

Instead of...

[code=php:0]
if (filetype($file) == "file")
[/code]

Ok lets try and get everything here. Are you trying to make a web page to browse through files and directories on your server?? Because I can see the next question being "how to I go to the directory in the list" Please try and tell us everything you want from the start so we don't have to go back to the script 20 times.

ps. you got the point? :)
