PHP Directory Index

[nyyankeefan95]

Hello i am new to php and i was wondering if someone knew how to do this. I just need a simple index.php file that lists the files and folders in a directory but i need it to look exactly like this (With Bullets):

 

Thank You In Advance

 

(I also need it to open the folder directory if a folder is clicked on and button for Parent Directory)

That is done by simply allowing 'directory browsing' within your server configuration.

 

Nothing at all to do with regular expressions or PHP for that matter.

Yeah but i use godaddy and they dont provide you with indexing so i wanted to do this and i liked the bullet format so if someone can help that would be great.

Using the readdir() function you should be able to loop through a directory (the current directory) and list out files.

You can test if it's a file by using an is_file() test.

Try it out. Here's a quick example (untested):

<?php

if($files = readdir('.'))
{
    while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false)
    {
        echo "<a href='" . $file . "'>" . $file . "</a>";
    }
}

?>

I have this code which i want to keep:

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {

  echo "<ul>";

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

        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

            echo "<li>$file</li>";

        }

    }

  echo "</ul>";

    closedir($handle);

}

?>

 

but i want to add "Index of/" at the top of the page and i want the text to be able to be clicked on to open the file/folder?
