Title: Gettting a Directory Listing
Contributor: Randall Goguen (aka Ranman)
Last Update: Tuesday July 18 21:37 EDT 2000
# Here are two examples of reading directorys. The first gets
# a simple directory listing. The second gets all files and
# directory that end with 'gif'.
#
# The @ in front of the opendir() will suppress, if any, a PHP
# error warning from, in this case, opendir() and just print
# the "Unable to open $path" message to the web browser if the
# directory doesn't exsist for example.
<html><body><?
$path = '/usr';
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
echo "Directory Listing of $path<BR>";
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
echo "$file<br>";
}
closedir($dir_handle);
$path = 'images/';
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
echo "Directory Listing of $path<BR>";
while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if (substr($file, -3) == 'gif') {
echo "$file<br>";
