[PHP] Re: remote directorylisting

[Håkon Grønning]

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. It was like I thought. I have to write my own
parse code.

 Well, This is not really possible, unless the server itself allows you to do
 the listing.
 One way and after the last condition you can use
 fopen(sever.com/dir_to_list/) then fread() it and then parse the content
 in order to get filename, date, ...

  Does anybody know how to list a remote directory to get
  all the filenames into for example an array?
 
  This is easily done on your local server by:
   $handle=opendir('./images/');
   while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
   $filelist[] = $file;
   }
   closedir($handle);
 
  However, opendir and readdir does not work on remote
  servers: $handle=opendir('http://www.somesite.net/images/');
 
  So, does anybody know how to do this.
  I know I can read remote files (directory listing) and then
  To analyse this for filenames with a lot of string manipulation
  operations. Is there a simpler approach?
