Script to list all files in pwd as links?

[tmallen]

I'd like a script that will list all files in the present working directory (pwd) as links. How can this be done? I don't know much about using PHP to read local files. Is there something like the "ls" command to do this with PHP?

look into glob

 

<?php
        $path = "";
$data = glob($path."/*");
       print_r($data);
?>

OK, cool, that works. I browsed the docs for glob(), but I can't figure out how to grab the name of the current directory. How can I track this down?

glob, thats a new one. cool.

I've noticed that glob() doesn't return my hidden files. However, the following method does. Is there an option to return hidden files with glob()?

if ($handle = opendir('./')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
	echo "<li><a href=\"$file\">$file</a></li>";
}
}

most likely because glob is matching files that names are viewable vs    your system of retriving all files in a folder.

Which is better? I think that this is certainly more readable:

<?php

echo "<ul>\n";

foreach ($file_list as $file) {
echo "	<li><a href=\"$file\">$file</a></li>\n";
}

echo "</ul>\n";


?>

Hold on, left out the most important part:

<?php

$file_list = glob("*");

echo "<ul>\n";

foreach ($file_list as $file) {
echo "	<li><a href=\"$file\">$file</a></li>\n";
}

echo "</ul>\n";
