note 86975 deleted from function.readdir by danbrown

Note Submitter: andy at mail310 dot com ---- I'm sorry, but i think it's much easyer to do the following to prevent a certain extension form being red or opened inside the directory. <?php $handler = opendir("your/path/here/"); while ($file = readdir($handler)) { // if $file isn't this directory or its parent, and it's not a PHP file if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && strrchr($file, '.')!= '.php') { //Do your stuff here } } ?> what strrchr does is it reads to the last . in the file name and returns the rest of the string (after the dot, including the dot) so if you say don't want jpg files to show, simply add && strrchr($file, '.')!= '.jpg' and well, you get the gist...
