"PHP help required..."

Hay all,
I have a nice little PHP script which saves me a lot of fiddling on my site which is as follows:


// Define the full path to your folder from root
$path = "/home/freehost/t35.com/s/t/stevesmiscellany/WEBSITES/";

// Open the folder
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

// Loop through the files
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "sitemap.php" )

continue;
echo "$file";

}

// Close
closedir($dir_handle);

?>

The problem is that it displays all the files as a continuouse list one after each other, bu I want it to put "Enter"s inbetewn each file as per

 

in HTML. How would I change the script to do this?

Many Thanks
S.A.

AH, a while I'm here, how would I go about stoping it showng the file extensions? e.g. home.php to just home.

I'm not sure how that script works in its current form, but adding echo('

 

'); below your current echo function may work.

Alas, that does not work. I had tried that and it just adds an enter to the end of th list.

I'll post the URL to show you what I mean by a continousise list:
http://stevesmiscellany.t35.com/sitemap.php

I'm don't really know much about PHP, but couldn't you just add

to the end of the echo? Of course, it's probably me just not understanding exactly what you want to do... :-\

I feel very stupid now, I just needed to add

s within the current echo, e.g. echo "

$file

";

But I am still unsure how to stop the file extensions appearing (eg I want a like saying Banners, rather than Banners.php)

Oh, and cheers for your help, it pushed me in the right dirrection.

You could try changing $file to a different variable, then use a substitution to get rid of the leading extension.

I'm not sure if it's the same as Perl, but something like this would do it:

$new=$file;
$new=~s/[.]+$//;

You'll probably need a very similar script, I'm sure somone on this forum will know.

Still cant get he damn extensions from apprearing.
