How To Detect Number Of Files And Files' Name In A Folder?

Changing Variable Folder Names To Php Variable
Let me just show you quickly what I mean:

The site url:

http://www.nothing.com/vr/

will then redirect to

http://www.nothing.com/index.php?sec=vr

I'm just wondering if this is possible. The folder after the domain isn't an actual folder, but rather a pseudo one, which is then used in a varible. Another example:

http://www.nothing.com/test/
->
http://www.nothing.com/index.php?sec=45&desc=test

The "folder" has to be variable and so cannot be an actual folder.

Strategies For Including Files When You're Not Allowed To Make Assumptions About Directory Names
1.) Can anyone think of a way to speed up this function? It is
terribly slow. I plan to reduce the number of directories to 3, which
I guess will speed it up in the end.

2.) This seems to be the brute force method, and I'm wondering if
anyone can think of a better strategy. I've been asked to make life
easy on graphic designers by not making assumptions about where I
might find the files that the software might need to run. The files
might be in the same directory as the main file, or in directories
above, or in ones below. The person may have remembered to put a
".php" at the end of the file name, or maybe not. Here I simply go
looking. Is there a more graceful strategy than this? Some kind of
regular expression thing maybe? ...

Paging Of Folder Files
i have a form which has a select button when user clicks it a popup opens which shows all images in abc folder
 
when user clicks on any image the window closes and the name of that image is entered in the text box in parent form, now its working fine uptill here but if user refresh the popup window then it disconnects from parent window so my code that fills the textbox in the parent form and closes the popup window does not work anymore im using it like parent.document.form.texthox.value=abc since popup window is refreshed it does not work as child any more and this code does not work.

Files And Folder Copying
I am trying to write a function to copy an existing folder and folder
structure but am already stuck.

What I want to do is the following:

Copy a default folder (default_folder) and all sub folders within it (down
to a possible 4 levels)
eg default folder
->subfolder1
->subfolder2
->sub subfolder1
->sub sub folder 2

I have a form where the user can enter the name of the new folder and an
option to confirm if they want to copy the files also located within the
default folder.
If the checkbox is not checked then copy just the folder structure only

Can this be acheived in one function or will it be based on 2 where a set of
empty folders are created and where the folders and files are copied over

What Is The Max PDF Files Allowed In A Folder?
Not sure where to put this question? I am building a book archives database with a front-end for some librarians. They want to upload book cover images onto the server (probably Win-NT). There are approximately 80000 records that will have the book cover images stored in a PDF document for each. Can I upload every PDF to the same folder? Is there some kind of limit for a folder?

Deleting Files From A Folder...
I have a folder with many pictures in it.
All have the name like: HHMMDDMMYYYY.jpg

M-minute
D-day

How Can I do it? In SQL would be no prob but with file deleting is problem.

Opening Files In The Same Folder..
I have a php file (1.php) that needs to open another php file (2.php) and parse it's output. 2.php gets it's data from an xml file and formats it in a pretty screen style. So what I need is something like: $fp = fopen ("2.php?file=file.xml","r"); but that wont work because there is no file called ƈ.php?file=file.xml' so how's it done?

Root Of Folder App Files
While I know putting a app into a folder was chiseled out of fine
scottish granite and carried upto the top of ben nevis by php newbies
many years ago - I dont think a folder is the best way to do it .

The fact a script is in a folder means certain instant problems if you
want to do certain things with .

Assuming a script doesnt have index.php and all the script files have a
filename prefix like phpgb_ then theres no chance of them clashing with
anything else and theres no real reason to continue using a folder for
the main script files .

While the script will have a app folder for various things - does it
make any sense not to use the root because of a single solitary file
called index.php .

phpgb_index.php is what I use and the method hasnt brought up a single
problem of any shape or description .

Gas lighting was once what everybody thought was the best way of doing
it until that darn new fangled electricity came along .

1 - 2 Millions Files In One Folder?
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder.
The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are
deleted and new ones are written.
So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files
from/to that folder.
Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels
like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the
moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million
files there...
Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder?
Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will
cope with millions of writes/reads

How Does One Get A List Of All Files In A Folder?
need a list of all files (i have like 5k or so) in a folder, I need to add there names to a table

I am doing this so i can compare two tables

table 1. comments added to uploaded pics -finished pictures-
table 2. no comments added yet to uploaded pics (so they can be commented on GET IT?)  -unfinished pictures-

All the pictures are in a single folder for the time being i'm going to be making a form based on the pictures that are on table 2 so that they can have comments and titles and file name added to table 1 (to be done still) but i need to know all the file names for the folder in question, i guess i could do it via cmd line ls or something like that, i'll get back to you.

#foreach text file in the directory
#store file name into an array

#loop through array

Deleting Files In A Folder Modified Before Certain Date

Now , what i need to know is how can i delete files created say 3 days ago.

I Can Upload Files Anywhere Except My Remote Root Folder
Im working on a project with PHP that allows users to upload pictures to my server and then reference them. After going through some uploading tutorials I have the uploading part working Except! I cant upload folders to my remote root folder. I need to allow the users to upload somewhere inside the root folder so they can reference the pictures in code after.

Just to clarify the uploading works perfectly if I put the uploads folder anywhere on my computer except the sites remote root folder (or anywhere inside the root folder)
I also beleive I am giving the folder all of the proper permissions because I am giving the uploads folder in my root directory (the one that doesnt work) the same permissions as the one outside the root (the one that works) Code:

Setting Variable Names Using Field Names?
I'm having trouble creating dynamic variables using field names. Basically I got a heap of fields named after Players and I want to grab the field name and make a variable called it while assigning it a value from a post variable which is also the player name.

This is the code I'm using:
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM playerstats");

while($fld = mysql_fetch_field($result))
{
if ($fld->name!='match_id' && $fld->name!='opponent' && $fld->name!='map')
{
$fld->name=$_POST[$fld->name];
}
}

How To Move Files To The "lib" Folder?
A client recently asked me to move a lot of code into the "lib" folder...and I'm not sure exactly how to do this without having the site blow up.

I'm using Subversion and have a root-level folder structure that looks like this:
* lib
* logs
* sql
* src

Currently, I have all of my web files in the "src" folder.

There is a folder of include files in the "src > includes" folder. The client is asking to move these to the "lib" folder for security reasons.

How do I do this?!

I'm not sure how to move files outside the "src" folder and have the site still function properly.

Remove From $name (folder)/(folder)/[x]/ <-- If Exists To Just Get [x].
I'll be quite honest. I don't have the faintest idea
how to do this, while I can do other php without a problem. Once I
know how to go about it I'll be okay.
It's two things I think?
1. see if there's a trailing slash and delete it.
2. Remove the preceding path to /x, the folders and slashes, and
delete them.
and then I have x.

X by the way is the final folder in a website and this grabs it for
me.

<?
$name = $REQUEST_URI;
?>

My example:

Pdo Get Field Names
I'm using PDO for the first time. I want to get the field/column names
from a SELECT query. I can get the names from the associative array
returned by fetch(). But how do I get the field names if the SELECT
query returns no rows? I could do this before with the
xxxx_fetch_field() functions.

Here's a condensed version of my code:

// query the database
$DbToQuery = new PDO("sqlite::memory:");
$DbToQuery->query("CREATE TABLE MyTable (MyField TEXT)");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM MyTable";
$result = $DbToQuery->query($sql);
// Get the number of columns
$Cols = $result->columnCount();
// Loop through the results
$countrows = 1;
while($row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
if($countrows == 1) {
// Print column names
print join(",", array_keys($row));
}
$countrows++;
// handle the row data
// ...
}

How To Get Value From $_POST['$names'] ?
how do i correctly get the value from this:

echo($_POST['$names']);}

Variable Names
I want to create a series of variable names in the form of $dist_1, $dist_2, $dist_3 etc....How can I do this using a loop? A scaled back example (ie, forgetting about the for loop syntax) of what doesn't work is:

$i = 1;
$dist_'$i' = 50;
echo $dist_1;

I have tried all sorts of variations like $dist.$i, $dist"$i", but none of them seem to work. I could create an array dist[$i] but that is going to cause problems elsewhere.

Subdomain Names?

Page Names?
Is it possible to somehow read a page title based on the page you are one.

for example:

if the page is: mainpage.php

so inside the mainpagephp it would say:

include "pagetitles.inc";

and inside the the pagetitles.inc file it would say something like:

if whateverpage
     echo $pagetitle = "Main Page";

Domain Names
I am writing a reporting tool for the open source project Dansguardian, right now I am taking a URL that a user has visited and need to compare it to a blacklist, which contains just domain names (i.e. - phpfreaks.com).

Add Commas Between Names
i've got a script that pulls first name, last name, and suffix from a DB query and echos them only if they are not null. the names are cross-referenced by id number from two other tables. it displays the name pieces that are not null for each "job", and the jobs and names are determined by another id number for an individual issue page. an example of the output is here: Code:

Column Names
how can i get the column names of ms access table?

Php Sessions Over 2 Domain Names
When developing I created two under the same domain name. Both site share most of the same content and database. One of the sites is basicly just a frontend that accesses the pages from the other site and depending on what site you're comming from, the color is different, menu is different, etc... this worked fine with the domains were setup like this:

But once the sites were put under URL and URL everything failed. All the session information is lost when accessing a page from the other site. Does anyone have any experience with this?
