Including Filenames in a list

[Rineru]

Okay I have alot of FILE in one directory, maybe 100.

 

What I need to do is have the index.php, grab the file name from each file and create a list of links in the index.php.

 

so if I have

 

file1.swf

file2.swf

file3.swf

index.php

 

in one directory.

 

Whenever someone accesses the directory : http://www.example.com/example

 

this will appear:

 

File1

File2

File3

 

as links.

 

Someone help me please.

from http://us2.php.net/readdir

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
    echo "Files:\n";

    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        echo "<A href='$file'>$file</A><BR>";
    }

    closedir($handle);
}
?>

You can also use the glob() function:

<?php
foreach(glob('*.swf') as $fn)
     echo '<a href="' . $fn . '">' . $fn . "</a><br>\n";
?>

Awesome,  It works.  Now a few little things.

 

How can I get rid of the '.swf' from each item, and replace '_' with a ' ' (space)?

 

Using the Glob function, which seems to work the best

[marcus]

<?php
foreach(glob('*.swf') as $fn){
$t = str_replace("_","", $fn);
     echo '<a href="' . $fn . '">' . ucfirst(substr($t, 0, -4)) . "</a> => $fn<br>\n";
}
?>

 

 

outputs:

Swf1 => swf1.swf
Swf2 => swf2.swf
Swf3 => swf_3.swf

I would use the basename() function to remove the ".swf" from the file name:

<?php
<?php
foreach(glob('*.swf') as $fn)
     echo '<a href="' . $fn . '">' . str_replace('_',' ',basename($fn,'.swf')) . "</a><br>\n";
?>
