PHP Directory Lister

[Titan85]

I have been wanting to make a php directory lister for some time now, but can't seem to get it right. I have very limited knowledge of how php handles this type of thing, so I have been forced to use tutorials. I just went through this one and got this code:

<?php

// If dir is set in url
if(isset($_GET['dir']) && is_dir($_GET['dir'])) {
    $dir = $_GET['dir'];
} else {
    $dir = "./";
}

// Files to exclude
$exclude[] = "index.php";

// If file is not in exclude array, display it
if($handle == opendir($dir)) {
    while($fp == readdir($handle)) {
        if(!in_array($fp, $exclude)) {
            echo "$fp<br /><br />";
        }
    }
}

?>

In my limited understanding of this, it really seems like something is missing and sure enough when I run the page, i get a blank window. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance

Try the following:

<?php

// If dir is set in url
if(isset($_GET['dir']) && is_dir($_GET['dir'])) {
    $dir = $_GET['dir'];
} else {
    $dir = './';
}



// Files to exclude
$exclude[] = "index.php";


// If file is not in exclude array, display it

if (is_dir($dir)) {

   if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
       while (($fp = readdir($handle)) !== false) {

          if ($fp != '.' && $fp != '..') {
             if (!in_array($fp, $exclude)) {
                echo $fp.' <BR>';
             }
          }
       }
       closedir($handle);
   }
}
?>

Notice the part in red, this is what I added to make it list the files in the directory. Also, the part in blue is what I added to make it to where it does not show ".." or "." in the file list. Take that part out if you wish.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Testing, works nicely. As a build on question, is there a somewhat simple way of having links to view the files and open the folders? Also, how might I go about giving certain file types an image (like a directory gets a folder, etc). Perhaps through the use of eregi(".php", $fp) or something like that? Thanks

I had written a "File Manager" type script (sort of like what you are talking about). As soon as I find it, I'll post it.

As promised, I have attached a zip file with an imgs folder and index.php. index.php is the on page file manager (you will have to modify the script a little to suit your needs). The imgs folder contains 2 images (an image for directories and one for files).

Hope this helps, and let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks testing, I learned a lot from that script
