Hello,
I am trying to write a simple application using PHP on a Windows 2000 server. There is one text box for input and one search button. Basically the user would input a file name (for example "help.pdf") and then the php script would search a directory (for example "c:\help\") and subfolders for that file. If the file is found, I would like to automatically display the file using Adobe Acrobat. Ideally I would like to be able to use wildcards and obtain a list of results linking to the files. Any ideas on a good way to do this? I am mainly interested in how the search should work.
You could use the filesystem functions and read the directory's contents into an array and search that array for your file. Look up http://www.php.net/filesystem
