[SOLVED] leaving certain file out of a show all file loop

[anolan13]

Hello again,

 

Right now I have a page that displays all files in a certain directory, makes them a link, and then theres checkboxes. Works great...only thing is I need it to leave out a certain file (process.php) How do I do this? This is my code...

 

$handle=opendir("files/");

while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
echo "<li><a href='http://www.mywebsite.com/files/$file'>$file</a></li> <br>";
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='$file'>";
}
closedir($handle);
echo "</ol>\n";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Delete'>\n";
echo "</form\n";

 

Thanks!

try making an array of the files you wish not to display then in the loop say

<?php
$badfiles = array("file1.html","file2.php");
if(!in_array($file,$badfiles)){//display}
?>

$arr=array('va.php'.......); //sample
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
if (in_array($file,$arr)){
	continue;
}
echo "<li><a href='http://www.mywebsite.com/files/$file'>$file</a></li> <br>";
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='$file'>";
}

 

escape the unwanted file!!!!
