list directory and files

[skoff]

Hi guys,
i know that this exist and i searched for it but seemed I cant get it to work. Want i want to do exactly is that I need a script to get a list of all folders in one directory. And I need another script to get a list of all files in a folders with only a certain extension.

Thanks for your help! :)

You could check out PHP's DirectoryIterator [uk3.php.net] class - the first example lists all the files, but can easily be adapted for directories (call isDir() instead of isFile()) and then to filter files by extension...

Post back if you get stuck.

Here's a simple starting point. Not debugged but should work.

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/myfolder"; 
$ext = 'png|jpe*g|gif'; // match jpg or jpeg  
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { 
 echo "<ul>";  
 while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
 if (is_dir("$dir/$file")) {  
 echo "<li>Directory: $dir/$file</li>";  
 }  
 else if (is_file("$dir/$file") and preg_match('/^.*\.$ext$/i',$file)) { 
 echo "<li>File: $dir/$file</li>"; 
 } 
 } 
 closedir($handle);  
 echo "</ul>"; 
}  
else { echo "<p>$dir has no files that match.</p>"; }
