php directory listings

[lucifer]

how can I get a directory listing in PHP

I can check things are directories but not do anything with them :mad: :mad:

Something like this? :rolleyes:


function list_dir($dirname)
{
if($dirname[strlen($dirname)-1]!='\\')
$dirname.='\\';
static $result_array=array();
$handle=opendir($dirname);
while ($file = readdir($handle))
{
if($file=='.'||$file=='..')
continue;
if(is_dir($dirname.$file))
list_dir($dirname.$file.'\\');
else
$result_array[]=$dirname.$file;
}
closedir($handle);
return $result_array;
}

try this:



<?
$dir="."; // directory to index
$a=opendir($dir);
while($b=readdir($a))
{
if(ereg("^\.",$b)) continue;
echo "<a href=\"$b\">$b</a><br>";
}
closedir($a);
?>

Just don't let them get to your .htaccess/ht* files.
