PHP :: How To List A Directory

List Php Files In Directory.
I am creating a plugins folder that I will use to store php files. I also store other folders within that "plugins" folder. The problem I have is getting the script to read only the the .php files and skip subfolders.

Plugins[main folder]
->plugin1.php
->plugin2.php
->screenshot[folder]
->downloads[folder]

How to keep the script from checking the folders (screenshots, downloads..) This part of my script filters the main folder and parent but not subfolders

if ($file!= "." && $file!= "..") {

How do i get that code to not check subfolders.

List Files In Directory Excluding Directories
I have the following code which I require to get the list of files in a given directory. However in that given directory I have other directories as well. I thought the second if condition was taking care of excluding the directories, but its not. I get a bunch of directories listed along with the files. PHP Code:

Remove File Extensions From A Directory List
I'm running a small script which lists files in a directory by last modified and with under scores in file names replaced with spaces. I'd also like to remove the file extension, but cant figure out how. I found this code. $ext = substr($value, -4); ....though i'm unsure how to implement it PHP Code:

List All Images Filenames From Directory Into Listbox ?
I need to list all images filenames from specified directory into listbox with php (e.g. limiting to .jpg, .png, and .gif)? How do I do that?

Create PHP Pages From List Of Files In Directory
this is probably easy for a php pro... but I cant figure it
out..

I have a directory of mp3 files named like this.
Chevy_Car_Commercial.mp3

There are about 150 files.

I am trying to find a script that will make php pages based on the file
names.
chevy_car_commercial.php

And also dump that variable title
Chevy Car Commercial into the <title> of the web page...

I have made dynamic pages before... but that was using a form..

List Files In Directory For Apache Alias
I want to list the files in a given <dir> with a given file extension ...
opendir() or scandir() would seem to be my solution. BUT! those files are outside the root dir of the site ... accessed via an apache alias. so opendir() and similar functions do not seem to work as I cannot feed it a relative path.

is there a way to do this?

my page:
<http://myintranet/prodinfo/listdir.php>

http location of dir to be listed:
<http://myintranet/dailies/>
/dailies/ is an alias pointing elsewhere on the server.
indexing has been turned on for this alias in apache, so loading the above URL shows the dir contents by default.

so for example ...

this works because /images is in the root of the web dir:
$myDir = "../images/";
$scanFiles = scandir($myDir);
print_r($scanFiles);

this does not work as dailies is an alias and not a dir in the web root:
$myDir = "../dailies/";
$scanFiles = scandir($myDir);
print_r($scanFiles);

one option I see is to grab the html of that apache auto-generated index page and parse the content to grab the links out of it. but this seems rather roundabout, and with all the great php file tools, I'm hoping there's a much simpler way.

does anyone have any ideas, or is there some addtl info I can provide to make my question clearer?

List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that:

- reads in all the files in a particular directory
- displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li>
</ul>

etc.?

So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory,
so you can download them from there.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = Ƈ') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

Using List
when my form is loaded i populate a list with a database query. now when user selects a value from the list. on "onChange" another query runs and other fields on the form are populated according to the value selected by the user but at this time when page is loaded again and the fields on the form are filld. every thing goes write but the select list doesn't have the same value selected that was selected by the user...the selected list shows the default valuse selected instead.

i want to know that how can we do this that when we select a value from the list and page is populated using this vale and refreshed then again i want to see the selected value in the list box not the dafault value.

Mp3 List
I can't figure why I can't list only mp3 files with this code :

<?php
$dir = opendir(".");
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
$ext = getFileExtension($file);
if ($ext = "mp3") {
echo "<a href=" .$file.">".$file;
echo "<p>";
}
}
closedir($dir);

function getFileExtension($str) {
$i = strrpos($str,".");
if (!$i) { return ""; }
$l = strlen($str) - $i;
$ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
return $ext;
}

?>

Problems With List()
I am having some problems with the list() function. Here is some code:

<?

$USERDB = fopen("users.db", "r");

while ($line = fgets ($USERDB, 4096))
{
list ($name, $occupation, $favcolor) = split ("|", $line);

print ("Name: $name<br>");
print ("Job: $occupation<br>");
print ("Favorite Color: $favcolor<br>");
}

fclose ($USERDB);

?>

And here is whats in the text file: Van Tate|Software Engineer|Green

Now...when I execute the script I get this error: Warning: bad regular expression for split() in /var/www/html/v2/getusers.php on line 7.

A little embarrassing but: is there any easy way to echo (the name and
value of ) all defined constants?

Drop Down List
I want to read a directory for available files and then get the filenames and put them in a drop down list. Whatever the user will select will be the value of the variable $selected. I already found the code to read directories: Code:

Loop Through A List
I want to loop through a list and display it in a table with three columns per row, yet haven't had much luck in doing so. I was thinking if would be something like so Quote:

for ($x = 0; $x < mysql_num_rows($query); $x++) {
if ($x / 3) { ?>
<tr> <? } ?><td> Blah </td></tr></table>

Well, that's as much as I know so far.

Add Number In List
I am outputing a list of 10 values.

10, 20, 30, 40, etc

I can add 15 to one of the values then reorder the values from smallest
to highest but i want to update every single value and assign it values
increamenting by 10

so after the update the second number of 20 and add 15 I get

10, 30, 35, 40

now i want to re output the values above as

10, 20, 30, 40

Php Mailing List
Can anyone point me to a php script that stores email addresses into a
txt file?

The purpose for this is for a mailing list, ideally if a user wanted to
unsubscribe the email would be removed from the text file.

PHP Link List
On a page from Thredz (http://www.thredziii.com) I saw a script (it's not on anymore...cause he didn't want the script to be on his page) and I love it...

It's a script that makes it possible that on a page links are sorted ALPHABETICALLY with the first letter of the "URL name"... (take a look on Thredz' site to c what I mean,K?)

Then people got 2 have the abbility to fill in a small form, ON THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE LINKS ARE ON, where they fill in 2 fields;
#1 = Name of the Site ($sitename)
#2 = URL of the site ($url)

When they fill out it form I want the PHP-script to put the information away as a link (in a *.txt-file...if possible)
<A href="$url" target="_blank">"$sitename"</A><br>
(something like this??? I'm not sure......)
These links have to be sorted alphabetically (on the site's name,$sitename...

I don't know how this works or how I have to make something like this... Could somebody please help me and give me a bit of help with it? Some explaining would be gr8 but the script written for me is the best wish I have.

Getting List Of Newsgroups Via Php
I am trying to write a PHP script that will download a list of all
the newsgroups on a news server and put them into a MySQL database.
I bought a $50 book that had some NNTP examples in it, but none of
them show how to just download the groups, not the articles. I tried
on my own for about 2 hours with no luck. If someone can point me in
the right direction to download the group list using PHP, I think I
can figure out how to write it to a database.

Php And Drop Down List
I am coding an email form on a site. A user enters their name and contact email and then selects from a drop down list to which particular email the message should be sent: User1, User2, User3. Then the user types out a message and hits submit. My problem is that I am unsure as to how to grab the selection in the drop down list and pull the selection and place it like this: "$selection@domain.com". Here is the php code:

PHP Shortand List
Is there a place where I can find a list of all the shorthand/shortcuts in PHP's syntax. IE: $_POST, $counter++, etc? Anyone know?

Does anybody know of a quick and dirty way that I can connect to a news
server, retrieve a list of all newsgroups beginning with alt. (or comp., or
blah., or wibble., doesn't really matter), and also the newsgroup
descriptions, and then dump them all in an html file?

Php Mailing List
Is it possible to implement a mailing list using PHP?. I know I could
maintain a list of emails addresses in a db and send mail to them through my
website, but how can I get true mailing list behaviour where emails are sent
to a particular address (like mailinglist@mydomain.com) and then distributed
to all of the email addresses?.

I wanted to print out checkboxes for those which are checked when form is being submitted. Whilst, this is my function: PHP Code:

Select List
I'm creating a form that has three select lists. The first one has two values EMAIL and SMS. What I want to do is have the two other select lists (named EMAIL and SMS) work so that if EMAIL is selected only e-mail select list can be altered and vice versa with the SMS.

How can I do this? I know to use disabled in <select> -tag, but how can I check the what the value is (and the value changes) and then act acording to it?

Best Way To List Pages A - Z
I now have my emulator site up and running, no longer html but php! Even my vote script now works, thank for all your input. Now I want to have roms on my site for download, but it's a fair long list so you have to devide in sections a - z or something.

Can this be done in a way to create those pages with php/mysql instead of have to write html files for every emulator roms page from a to z? If anyone have done this before I would like to here what the possibilties are.

How To Use A Value From A Pick List?
I'd like to have a form that does the following:
User picks a site from a dropdown list from a MySQL db (that works -
code below, thanks to all those on the web who posted code for this).
Once the value is selected, a second query is run using the site as the
'where' clause and the results are displayed back to the user.

mysql, php, htlm noob. I think once I get this bit,
I'll be able to move forward with more interesting and complex code.

Problems With List..
I have a function returning smth like list($a,$b):

var_dump says:

list(string $a, string $b) blabla()

How can use this strings now? I try:

list($a, $b) = blabla();
print($a);

but it's won't work returning empty string.

I tried also:

$result = blabla();
print $result[0];

but it also won't work.

The only thing I can do is to iterate result with foreach, then it works
nicely, but how should I use the result of blabla() function without
foreach? I just want to get to $a and $b.

Selection From A List Box.
php and have to implement this functionality to
select a user from a list box. I have written the code for this, but
the problem is after selecting a name and doing the required task, it
again selects the first entry in the list box. So if there are 100
users, the 100th one has to scroll down again and again.

I need to modify this code so that until the session expires, if a
person has selected his name once, that name will be selected in the
listbox until he changes it.

<select name="name" style="width: 120px;">
<?php
$query = sprintf("select * from person order by person_name");
$result = mysql_query($query);
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$i++;
printf("<option
value="$row[person_num]">$row[person_name]</option>");
}
?>
</select>

To-do List To Add To Site?
I'd like to add a basic to-do module to my web site. Could someone
recommand something, either MySQL- or flat-file-based?

List And Explode
I have been searching for a reason for this behavior but no solution
so I figured I would ask.

Basically I have a web page that displays data in a database to the
user for updates/deletion/addition. For each data field ont he web
page I put the data from the database in the field name with teh field
name and data seperated by a |. ex: address|35 Elm St.

I then loop thru all the fields on the form and if the data in the
field name doesnt match the data submitted then update the database.
Here is the code:

foreach ($_REQUEST as $curFld => $Data) {
if ($curFld <> 'Submit') {
list ($field, $orig_data, $table, $id) = explode('|', $curFld);

if ($orig_data <> $_POST[$curFld]) {
//UPDATE DATABASE
$sql = "UPDATE $table SET $field = '".$_POST[$curFld]."' WHERE
ID = $id";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $_SESSION['conn']) or
die(mysql_error());
}
}
}

Here is the problem, either list() or explode() is replacing all
spaces in $orig_data with underscores so 35 Elm St. becomes
35_Elm_St.. This causes the code to always update this field and any
others where this occurs. Obviously I could do this str_replace("_",
" ", $orig)data) to fix this problem but if the user wants to use
underscores I dont want to replace them. (Address is not the only
field on the page.

Dropdown List
i am trying to get two dropdown lists working on a page. How do i go about this. For example, I have 1 table which holds countries and cities. When a user selects a country in the first dropdown list, i'd like the second dropdownlist populate with a list of cities etc. from my database.

But can someone make me a script to list all the clans Names and only names not ID, Ceos, and all that other stuff. Code:
