Simple directory listing function

**Eric** · 04-18-2006, 09:40 PM

A simple function to list a given directory's files. Got bored

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
function list_dir($dir, $ignore = array())

{

  $handle = opendir($dir);

 
  if($handle)

  {

    while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/code/188858-simple-directory-listing-function.html
    {

      if($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !in_array($file, $ignore))

      {

        $files[] = $file;

      }

    }

    sort($files);

    $list = '';

 
    foreach($files as $file)

    {

      $list .= $file.'<br>';

    }

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=188858
  }

  closedir($handle);

  

  return rtrim($list, '<br>');

}

 
/*

Takes two arguments $dir & $ignore

$dir = the directory you want to list

$ignore = an array of specific files you don't want listed

 
Example usage:

*/

 
echo list_dir("some/directory/", array("includes", "someotherfile.php"));

 
/*

Outputs something like:

 
about.php

contact.php

index.php

style.css

 
... you get the idea ;)

*/

 
?>
