"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.

As you may have guessed I'm still learning PHP and this is my first proper peice of code. I really don't want to write another one just add a couple of lines that will remove the extensions.

Or try this sort of logic which works out the suffix then removes it:


$file1 = "xyz.php";
$suffix = strstr($file1, '.');
$file2 = basename($file1, $suffix);
echo "$file1
$suffix
$file2
";

$file1 = "abc.html";
$suffix = strstr($file1, '.');
$file2 = basename($file1, $suffix);
echo "$file1
$suffix
$file2
";

?>

Take a look at this. [URL] http://www.sine-wave.net/view-source.php?file=./list.php [/URL].

These tags are really badly thought out.

Still cant get he damn extensions from apprearing.

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.

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

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

S.A.

I feel very stupid now, I just needed to add

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

$file

";

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... :-\

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
