Display Directory Contents Without Extentions Included

[M2com]

Is there a way to display all the file in a directory but not have the file extentions included? For Example:

Directory Contents

file
file2


NOT


Directory Contents

file.php
file2.html



Thanks!

Yup, http://php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php

If you will only ever have one period in your file name this should (untested) work, actually this may work if there is more than 1 period as well.


<?php
$directory = '/path/to/files';
if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$file = preg_replace('/(.*)\..*/', '$1', $file);
echo "$file\n";
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

Hmm. What I'm using to test my site is local host and when I put your script into my page, it returns with: All Users Default Default User desktop Mark Public TEMP

What happened and what did I do wrong (if anything) and how to fix it.

Thanks!

A bit of a novice at PHP, I came up with this:


<?php
function listnoext(){
if($handle = opendir('.')){
$pattern = '#\.[^\.]+$#';
clearstatcache();
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
$files[] = preg_replace($pattern, '', $file);
}
closedir($handle);
}
echo implode('<br>', $files);
}
echo 'Directory Contents:<br>';
listnoext();
?>

It sounds like you outputted the wrong directory. Were the files you want in any of those folders?


All Users Default Default User desktop Mark Public TEMP

listnoext();

This works the best so far but I was wondering if the list could somehow show the directories in a way they can easily be seen( as to making them easily distingished from other file types.)

_pardon my spelling please.

How about:


<?php
function listnoext(){
if($handle = opendir('.')){
$pattern = '#\.[^\.]+$#';
clearstatcache();
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(is_dir($file)){
$files[] = '<span style="color: red;">' . preg_replace($pattern, '', $file) . '</span>';
} else {
$files[] = preg_replace($pattern, '', $file);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
echo implode('<br>', $files);
}
echo 'Directory Contents:<br>';
listnoext();
?>

That works just fine John.

Thanks for the quick fix
