Hi Cleve:
The tutorials at the Zend site are very good and tell details that I
have not read in any book. For instance, we have been told to turn off
global variables because it is dangerous but never really told why. Here
you will find out in glorious detail.
There is also another nice article about database hacking that will blow
your mind.
One more thing, you mentioned you were going to use the code a posted
yesterday. I received an email that the links were not indexing properly
so here is the fix. I cannot believe I did not bother to check this
before. I wish I could sort the lists but unfortunately it is not
possible unless I use exec( ) and this is usually not available on most
server to avoid hacking. The PHP function only reads the files as stored
by the OS on the disk, hopefully this will change soon.
take care,
<?php
rec_index( );
function rec_index( $path = '', $file = '' ) {
if( is_file( $file ) ) {
$mp3 = explode( '.', $file );
if( $mp3[count( $mp3 ) - 1] == 'mp3' ) {
echo '<a href="' . $path . $file . '">' . $file . '</a><br>';
}
}
elseif( ( is_dir( $file ) && $file != '.' && $file != '..' ) || $file
== '' ) {
if( $file ) chdir( $file );
$path .= $file . '/';
echo '<b>' . $file . '</b><br><blockquote>';
$handle = opendir( '.' );
while( ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) !== false ) rec_index(
$path, $file );
chdir( '..' );
echo '</blockquote>';
}
}
?>
