[SOLVED] system('ls') into array.

[the_oliver]

Hello,

 

Im trying to find a list of all the files on a folder, and place them into an array.  I have been attempting, to little avail, to do this with system().

 

When run, it will print to screen all of the files, but when i try to break it into and array using the following code i only get the last file in the list.  Can anyone help me solve this please?

 

<?php
$arr = explode(" ", system('ls'));

echo "<br><br><br>".$arr['0']."<br>".$arr['1']."<br>".$arr['2'];
?>

 

 

- Thanks!

Check your delimieter, it might not be a " ", I do not know what the otuput of ls looks like as I'm on a vista machiene

Ah yes, should have thought to post that.  It looks like:

 

file1.php file2.php file3.php etc...

 

Thanks

Check out glob(). It returns an array with all the files that match the pattern, but you can use it to return all of the files.

Also, you can check out scandir() which also does the same thing.

glob() worked a treat!  Many Thanks.
