directorie help

[EKsparky]

Ive search and read for hours but no luck

All i want to be able to do is list the directories (folders) within a certain dir(folder)

Ive tried lots of differnt code but nothing works

I found lots of code that will display both files and folders but i want just the folders. 

 

Example of code that work but displays both

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('galleries/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>
<?php

Thanks for any help

try this...

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('galleries/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (is_dir($file)) {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>

is_dir must be full path to file....

 

is_dir('/path/to/file/'.$file)

Crewkerne _info.txt index.php Chard test Ilminster awards 031.jpg

 

Your code produced    . ..

read my last post

[fooDigi]

or you could use....

<?php
if (filetype('/path/to/file/'.$file) == 'dir' && $file != "." && $file != "..")
?>

sorry, you want to keep in ($file != "." && $file != "..")

lol You replyed at same time as me 

Anyways i would not have thought id need the complete full path

ie my script is in  var/www/html/tkd4kids/public_html/photos

so if i run it from there i assumed my path would just be just galleries/

I tried it with full path of var/www/html/tkd4kids/public_html/photos/galleries/ but no luck this result was empty not even . ..

lol and again

[fooDigi]

don;t know if it is a mispeling but, include the beginning forward slash...

 

/var....

[EKsparky]

yes i did try both

[fooDigi]

here is my complete working script, maybe this will help...

 

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('galleries/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (is_dir('/home/xxxxx/public_html/_tests/galleries/'.$file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>

 

where does the script exist?

[fooDigi]

or the following works also... try giving an absolute or root path to the opendir...

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('galleries/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (filetype('/home/xxxxx/public_html/_tests/galleries/'.$file) == 'dir' && $file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>

Thanks for your help fooDigi

That works 

I still can t see how the full path makes so much differnts when my origianl code did work but showed files as well

Any ways its done

Got up this morning with the intention of doing admin area for my gallery

my php is not great so i started with the easiest tast and a that has taken all day lol

[fooDigi]

the functions require that you have the complete path or correct relative path, from their perspective, they need to know where you are in the file system. you were just parsing the filename i believe.

 

good luck with your admin area

 

*edit - sorry i said they need to be complete paths, which is not true. you can use relative paths. sorry dude. i guess im on some kinda high horse

[EKsparky]

I had to have a play as like i said it work b4 without full path

and i managed to edit your script just a bit to get it work with out full path

 

Assuming that the script is in /photos    (full path  var/www/html/tkd4kids/public_html/photos/galleries/)

 

$dirname = "galleries/";
if ($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (is_dir($dirname.$file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>

 

But again thanks for all your help
