Can anyone help me get this index.php script to list files alphabetically?

<?

$dir_handle = @opendir("./") or die("Unable to open directory!");

while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br />";
}

closedir($dir_handle);

?>

Sincerely,

Todd

you can use the code from the script I use at dotpups.de.

Instead of printing the filenames directly, they are added to an array.
Then sorted with "asort".

Finally printed.
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/index.php.txt

For your small example, it might look like this (not tested):

Code: Select all

<? 

$files=array();

$dir_handle = @opendir("./") or die("Unable to open directory!"); 
 
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) { 
  array_push($files,$file);
} 
 
closedir($dir_handle);

 asort($files);

foreach ($files as $file){
  echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br />"; 
}
?>

Is there a way to hide the index.php file?

Todd

P.S.: I have already tested the modified script and it works great!

MU, I was wondering if I could pick your brain again. I would like to have the file size listed as well. This is what my file looks like right now:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
<title>http://www.toddrichardson.com/archive/</title>

</head>

<body>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">

<br>

<?

$files=array();

$dir_handle = @opendir("./") or die("Unable to open directory...");

while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
if ($file != "index.php" && $file != "." && $file != "..") {
array_push($files,$file);
}
}

closedir($dir_handle);

asort($files);

foreach ($files as $file) {
echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br><br />";
}

?>

</span>

</div>

</body>
</html>

I am familiar with html but am just starting w/ php.

yes, that was a bit tricky.

Here is the code.
Note, that I use a HTML-table to "format" the entries.

        $timestamp=date("l, d.m.y, H:i",$status[9]);

Thank you! You know, there are no resources on the web for this type of thing. You are honestly the only source I have. Thank you.

You're welcome

There are sources, but usually they are part of big CMS systems, and cannot be used "standalone".

As I needed customized solutions for some projects, I started writing my own small scripts, that I could combine independant from each other.

A good help for me were code-snippets from the function-list of http://php.net/

Yes, Todd, that site abounds with examples of PHP scripts. Just try to think about the job you want and do a function search - it will give you a listing of the nearest useful functions.
