[SOLVED] Directory Listing

[jonoc33]

I recently wrote an upload script, and along with it when you uploaded it a directory listing script shows the files in the uploaded folder.

 

<?PHP 

$folder = "files/upload/"; 
$handle = opendir($folder); 

# Making an array containing the files in the current directory: 
while ($file = readdir($handle)) 
{ 
    $files[] = $file; 
} 
closedir($handle); 

#echo the files 
foreach ($files as $file) { 
    echo "-<a href=$folder$file>$file</a>"."<br />"; 
} 
?> 

That is the directory listing script.

 

Although.. when it shows the files it comes up with these dots eg:

 

Uploaded Files -..

-Picture.gif

-.

-Blah.doc

 

Anyone know as to why these dots would show up?

That is quite normal, just exclude them from your output.

Ok..Well.. how do I do that?

The "." is the UNIX shorthand for "this directory" and the ".." is the UNIX shorthand for the previous directory. To eliminate them use:

<?php
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
    if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
       $files[] = $file; 
?>

Thankyou. That worked.

Replace:

<?php
while ($file = readdir($handle)) 
{ 
    $files[] = $file; 
} 
?>

with my code.
