A simple piece to open a directory and display any files with a given extension. Great for things like newsletters, score sheets or the like where you just want to make it easy on the user - they just dump in the file with the correct extension and it's done. A link is given to the file which opens up in a new window. <?php $current_dir = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT"."dirname/"; //Put in second part, the directory - without a leading slash but with a trailing slash! $dir = opendir($current_dir); // Open the sucker echo ("<p><h1>List of available files:</h1></p><hr><br />"); while ($file = readdir($dir)) // while loop { $parts = explode(".", $file); // pull apart the name and dissect by period if (is_array($parts) && count($parts) > 1) { // does the dissected array have more than one part $extension = end($parts); // set to we can see last file extension if ($extension == "ext" OR $extension == "EXT") // is extension ext or EXT ? echo "<a href=\"$file\" target=\"_blank\"> $file </a><br />"; // If so, echo it out else do nothing cos it's not what we want } } echo "<hr><br />"; closedir($dir); // Close the directory after we are done ?> --was-- // A simple piece to open a directory and display any files with a given extension.
