"Shouldn't have tried to learn PHP..."

I knew it, I'll go fine for a few minutes and then crash and burn!

I've learnt how to make a flashy little form now! (Yay!)

Anyway, how would I manage to create a list of files within a directory?

Say I wanted to print all of the files in the directory

http://members.lycos.co.uk/phi11ip/pics/

What would I do?

Is it easy, or slightly harder than I expect in which I'll just leave it!

Thanks.

Don't worry, I think I've found something...

Hopefully this one should work.

I like PHP. It's fairly easy and the results are always impressive.

I'm gonna guess that Lycos doesn't like that type of script..

I'll just download something to make my PC a server so I can test it.

*comes walking back after realisingg that he doesn't have a clue what he's looking for*

So, what one should I download!?!?

Apache I think...

Try putting this in a PHP file, into the directory you want listings for:

$Folders = "";
$Folder_Count = 0;
$Files = "";
$File_Count = 0;
print "\n";
?>

That one doesn't seem to work.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in listing.php on line 22

I found another one which is OK, it creates a thumbnail of all the images in the folder which could be quite useful.

Oh, and this script doesn't seem to be working no matter how hard I try:

This is the form page:

This is the PHP file:

if ($File_name){
if (copy($FileToUpload, "./photos/$File_name")){
echo 'File Name :' . $File_name .';
echo 'File Size :' . $File_size .';
echo 'The file was successfully uploaded!';}
else
echo 'Your file could not be copied.';
unlink($FileToUpload);
?>

I got a parse error on line 4 I think, my crapy attempt to fix it was this:


if ($File_name){
if (copy($FileToUpload, "./photos/$File_name")){
print ("The name of the file is $File_name");
print ("The size of the file is $File_size");
print ('The file was successfully uploaded!");}
else
print ("File not uploaded");
unlink($FileToUpload);

?>

But then I get a parse error on the last line. The close php tag.

Does anybody have any simple file/image uploading scripts?

I just can't get any uploading scripts to work.

I've tried on Freeola to test them but it still doesn't work...

Grrr..

You don't appear to have a set Value for $File_name.
