Directory Listing
Have you ever wanted to list the contents of your directory in a
html file or a PHP file? All you have to do is follow these
steps:
Paste this code below in to notepad or your favourite text
editor.
| CODE |
<?
$path = "/home/sites/httpdocs/the/dir";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Sorry <!-- emo-:(
--><img src='http://www.talkdevelopment.com/tutmnger/images/emoticons/sad.gif'><!--
emo-close --> we were Unable to open $path");
echo "Listing of $path<BR>";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "<a href=\"$path/$file\">$file</a><br
/>";
}
closedir($dir_handle);
?>
|
or you could perhaps list the files information aswell by
using:
| CODE |
<?
$path = "[PATH TO DIR W/ TRAILING SLASH]";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to
open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if(!is_dir($file)) {
$filesize = filesize($path.$file);
echo "Name: $file
File Size:[$filesize Bytes]
Download: <a href=[URL TO DIR]$file>Click
Here<br>------";
}
}
closedir($dir_handle);
?>
|
Step 2: save it as a .PHP file and upload it to your server
after customizing the directory path at the top to the
directory that you wish to display. Feel free to ask us any
questions at the forums if you are having trouble.
