Re: [PHP] Readdir() question
When I need to do 'filesystem' type things I use MySQL to map all of the
files. This offers lot's of versatility in that you could just make a single
folder called filesystem and have all of your files in the root of that
folder - then use mysql to map virtual folders and structures and such.

Re: [PHP] Readdir() question
Ok,
one folder on your webserver, and put all of the files that you want to
include on your website/system in this folder (also uploading into this
folder); just in the root of that folder, so say you wouldn't have anymore
folders under it.
Make a table called 'Files,' containing:
ID
Name
Type
true_location
virtual_location
(or similar depending on your needs, you might also want a folders table,
perhaps this will increase speed if you are visually displaying the entire
display system.)
the Name, name of the file
Type, type of file, I have this in just so i can easily tell what file it is
and what to do without having to execute more scripts.
true_location, the real location and filename of the file that is placed in
your file
virtual_location, made up location that forms your filesystem
The advantages of mapping real files in a virtual location is that you and
the user can interact with the virtual location like it is really mapped and
keep the versatility of MySQL. Since reading several pieces of
information from MySQL is much faster than reading from files to get it.
For an upload system you would need to write a PHP script on the upload of
the file to add entries to the table. If you are initially placing many
files in there you may want to write a perl/shell/php script to enter all of
the initial file entries for the table for you.

[PHP] Readdir() question
Hi,
I'm going to make a small browser based file system for ease of small
updates that I make frequently on my Website. First of all I want to loop
all the files on the same directory and to tell PHP read the same directory,
I think I'd need to use the magic constant I think its called, __DIR__ such
as:
?php
$dir=opendir(__DIR__);
while($files=readdir($dir)) {
echo $files;
}
?
But I get a few errors:
*Warning*: opendir(__DIR__) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No error
in *C:\wamp\www\Project1\index.php* on line *2*
*Warning*: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in
*C:\wamp\www\Project1\index.php* on line *3
*Any help in the right direction will be appreciated!
Cheers.

__DIR__ is not a valid constant (yet, I think it may be planned for
5.3/6). You should be developing with notices on - this would have
told you __DIR__ is wrong.
Use dirname(__FILE__) to get what you're after.

This really is not the proper use if __DIR__ as it is based on a file
that you are trying to open. This is equivalent to dirname(__FILE__).
which will give you the path of the __FILE__ and hence the directory of
that file. In your case you should specify the file path in $dir

if(!empty($cvs[$i])) {
$cv = str_replace($path, , $cvs[$i]) ;
echo a href=\$cvs[$i]\$cv/a;
echo br;
}
echo \n;
$i++;
this shouldn't work. at least the links shouldn't work
unless the files are on a local disk (which is a web scenario is unlikely).
foreach(glob($path.$id.{*.doc,*.pdf,*.txt,*.rtf},GLOB_BRACE) as $f) {
echo 'a
href=',makeFilePathIntoValidURL($f),'',basename($f),'/abr /';
}
// just a example/idea - I assume the 'id' files are accessible via the web
function makeFilePathIntoValidURL($f) {
if (!strpos($f, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) === 0) return '#nolink';
return str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], $f);
}
}
?

[PHP] readdir
I have been writing some code that visits each directory stored within one directory in turn, pics a random image from it and displays that image. I have the code working fine, apart from one small quirk that I can't really understand. In one version of the implementation, the directories appear to be getting accessed in the order they are uploaded to / edited on the server starting with the most recent upload/change - which is handy because it is what I wanted. But in another slightly different version of the same bit of code, it lists them in some weird order that I can't fathom. I suppose my question put simply is, what is the default ordering of directories when PHP uses the readdir method? And is there anyway to force a specific ordering to the directories before PHP searches down them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Toby
RE: [PHP] readdir
According to php.net, the readdir() function simply reads the contents of the directory in the order which they are stored by the filesystem. One way to force the order would be to loop through the contents of the directory and store the directory names into an array, and use the functions filemtime() and sort() to sort the array.

Whatever order the OS decides to use. In practice, it's whatever is convenient for that particular file system. So FAT, NFTS, Reiser, ext2, ext3, and so on could all behave differently. For that matter, the OS could decide to randomize them, just for fun, if it wanted to. And is there anyway to force a specific ordering to the directories before PHP searches down them? Not with just opendir/readdir. You could use exec() with ls to get them in various orders. You could walk through and make an array and then sort. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] readdir filenames with accents issue
Hi,
I'm creating a file browsing site but don't know how to list properly
filenames containing accents (french, spanish, etc). I've been
browsing the archives but couldn't find a fix.
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo $file;
}
For example:
Filename: sábado-1.mov
Link: saÌbado-1.mov
I would appreciate any help.

It's not a readdir question. It's an Order of Operations question.

$file = readdir($open) != false
You probably believe that PHP is going to magically know that you
want this bit:
readdir($open) != false
to be done first
But PHP can't read your mind.
It's going to look at the facts of the case.
= and != have equal priority in PHP,
and in case of a tie it will evaluate them left-to-right:
$file = readdir($open)
This gives you the name of the file.
PHP then does the != false bit, comparing the name of a file with false.
Unless your filename starts with one or more '0' characters, and then
has alpha characters for the first non-numeric characters after the
'0's, then it ain't gonna be equal to false, and it will always return
1.
'afile' != false 1
'filename' != false - 1
'000name' != false -- 0
'012name' != false -- 1
You really do need to put the parentheses in there, so PHP does things
in the rigth order, just like the manual says to:

Yes $open_dir is the handle from opendir().
The file_exists is simply checking for an associated file elsewhere as

[PHP] readdir behavior I cannot understand
PHP General List,
I am trying to read the contents of a directory on a server and
perform imagemagick operations on each JPG found inside the
directory. The area where I am stuck currently is not the image
manipulation but the PHP function readdir().
Can anyone explain why I am having this behavior with PHP using the
scripts out of the manual pages for readdir()
Hereis my script, I copied and pasted Example 1 from this page:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php
You will see that the only way that I changed I initialize two
variables at the very top that set the directory of the directory to
open. The script should read the contents of the directory and print
them to the resulting page.
Instead, it returns a the following parse error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in
/Users/jason/Sites/images_exotic/REDESIGN2 FALL
04/admin/check_set_local.php on line 4
I see this PHP behavior on both Windows Server running PHP 4.3.2 and
on my own Mac (OS X client) running apache as a Personal Web
Sharing PHP version 4.3.6
Any help is appreciated. The contents of the script which I cannot
get the parse error out of is below.
On this vein, can anyone tell me a succinct explanation of the
bang-equal-equal (!==) operator in contrast to the bang-equal (!=)
operator?
I've never seen that before, is it borrowed from other languages? I
do not remember it from when I was learning C++.
Thanks.

[PHP] readdir() output question
Hello all! Ok, I have a readdir() reading pictures files from a directory. But now I want to output them into a html table, say 5 across the top row, then 5 the next row, etc. What I cant figure out is how to make this happen. Right now, I am not reading the files into an array. Should I do this and then create a while loop?

Re: [PHP] readdir() output question

echo(

$img_count = $img_count + 1;

[PHP] Readdir
New To Php so please bear with me... :)
I used the readdir function to read the files listed on a Apache server. And
it worked fine. Now I would like to be able to get the files the php code
returns, to be links. Where the user can click the file and download it. Also
for the files to sit within a table or at least look neat on the page.
http://www.optimus7.com/findme.php is the result I get from the php code
below. Help!
?php
if ($handle = opendir('/my/directory')) {
echo Directory handle: $handle\n;
echo Files:\n;
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo $file\n;
}
closedir($handle);
}

Change your echo stmt to something like:
echo a href=\$file\$file/abr\n;

Re: [PHP] Readdir
Change:
echo $file\n;
to:
echo a href='$file'$file/a\n;
Note the nested quotes -- outer quotes - , inner quotes (around $file)
single - '

1) If you don't want the parent directory (..) and current directory (.) to
appear you should follow the example(s) in the manual.
2) In your while loop you can do something like:
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$file_array[] = $file;
}
This will put all your files into an array $file_array, which you can then use
foreach() to loop through each item and display neatly.
Now I would like to be able to get the files the php
code returns, to be links. Where the user can click the file and download
it. Also for the files to sit within a table or at least look neat on the
page.
These are basic HTML issues which presumably you should know the answer to.

Everything is good, you just to make a slight addition to your echo.
echo a href=\$file\$file/aP
