note 68903 added to function.scandir

Perhaps I'm missing something, but none of the other suggestions shown here did what I wanted. The problem was I wanted to list all files on a hidden (ie. unreferenced) directory on my web site. Normally, if there's no INDEX.HTM, this will happen automatically. However, my service provider is a bit smarter: they throw up an 'unauthorised user' message in the absence of the INDEX.HTM. The following got round the problem - if the directory contents alter, the changes are shown automatically. Sorry about the HTML tags below - it was the only way I could get the preview to display properly. Two files are required: 1) a blank INDEX.HTM that calls LISTFILE.PHP in a single frame: <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <FRAMESET ROWS="100%" FRAMEBORDER=no BORDER=0 FRAMESPACING="0"> <FRAME src="listfile.php"> </FRAMESET></HTML> 2) a LISTFILE.PHP that lists all files and subdirectories in the current web directory (*except* the INDEX.HTM and LISTFILE.PHP files, which you know are there!) Links to all these files are automatically created: <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> <?php if ($handle = opendir('.')) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.htm" && $file != "listfile.php") echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br>"; } closedir($handle); } ?> </BODY></HTML> Regards, Steve Glennie-Smith ---- Server IP: 83.138.144.80 Probable Submitter: 81.187.254.38 ---- X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_30_40,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_RELAYING_FRAME,HTML_TAG_BALANCE_A autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68903 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68903 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68903 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
