Hi Phumes You need to use database in this case . 1. Save the user id with file extension for the user in a table 2. Get the valid list of extension applicable for the user from the table 3. Loop through the directory to check the files which has got the user file extension list and append only those file names in the array.
4. Output the array with <a href> (pointing to the physical location of file in server).. i hope this helps -Balaji From: phumes1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: User Preferences Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 13:16:18 -0500 Hi, I have a web interface that lists files on the server. These files have different file extensions. What I would like to do is omit certain files in the listing based on the extension for different users. I'm not sure how to go about it. By default certain exntensions will be omitted unless the user goes into his/her "preferences" and "checks" on the input boxes to "enable" that extension to be listed. Would I use a Access database for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Philip Humeniuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email server is running an evaluation copy of the MailShield anti- spam software.
