Michael, I wrote this function for a project that I'm working on. It returns an indexed array of local links found on a given page. It returns false if the url is not a valid file. If you want it to return all links regardless of prefix or file extension then just return $arrayoflinks[1] instead of doing the extra ereg() steps. It's a very simple function, but it may help get you started. -Kevin
function extract_links($url) { $fp = fopen($url, "r"); // fopen to check for valid file if ($fp !== false) { fclose($fp); $contents = implode("", file($url)); // Much thanks to whomever wrote this regex! preg_match_all("|href=\"?([^\"' >]+)|i", $contents, $arrayoflinks); foreach ($arrayoflinks[1] as $link) { // Ignore links that may not be local. if (!ereg('http://', $link)) { // Make sure the link is some form of html file. if (ereg('.htm', $link)) { // Build array of local links on this page. $links[] = $link; } } } return $links; } else { return false; } } ----- Original Message ----- From: "_michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 12:12 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] listing the files in the directory > well do you think you can point me in the right direction to listing the > files on my site? - is it possible (as i said i am very new to this) > > thanks > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 24 May 2002 19:09 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] listing the files in the directory > > > On Saturday 25 May 2002 02:01, _michael wrote: > > hi, i'm pretty new to php - i am trying to list/print a list of files and > > folders that are on my server: > > > > from my little knowledge i have got: > > > > <?php > > $dir = "http://mysite.com/"; > > $handle = opendir($dir); > > while (($file = readdir($handle))) { > > if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { > > echo "- " . $file .
