Index page displaying folder content

hitman · 10-25-2006, 12:06 PM

Is there a way to create an index page (with customisable layout) that automaticaly lists the files contained in the same folder with a hyperlink so that people can download the file directly? The index page will update itself everytime a file is copied into the folder.

There is a way to do it in php, insert this code into where you want the links to be:

PHP Code:

   
$dir = "path/to/directory";

$dh = opendir($dir);

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

 {

   if (!is_dir("$dir/$file"))

    {

      echo "<a href=\"$dir/$file\">$file</a><br />\n";

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/250791-index-page-displaying-folder-content.html
    }

 }

That will ouput something like this:

file1.exe
file2.zip
file3.jpg

With hyperlinks to the files.

Thanks! I've uploaded an index file with only this in it:

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=250791
$dir = ""; 

$dh = opendir($dir); 

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

{ 

if (!is_dir("$dir/$file")) 

{ 

echo "<a href=\"$dir/$file\">$file</a><br />\n"; 

} 

} 

?>

But when i load the page it gives me this:

Try changing $dir to "./"

I think it needs a full path, rather than a relative path.

So maybe try changing dir to this if that doesn't work.

$dir = "/home/.server/username/domain.com/series/uploads/";

I just tested the script and ./ works. Of course the full path would work, too.

I use a modified version of this to show what's in a directory. (demo)
