In this tutorial we will learn how to list all the files that are in a directory via PHP. This is a quick and easy technique which will also remove the . and .. from the listings. So lets get started.
<?php $dir = "."; // . is the current directory you can change this to what ever directory you want to be listed e.g public_html/ if($scan = scandir($dir)){ // Assign scandir function to $scan and check if it was run. foreach ($scan as $value){ // Now the directory has been scanned go through the array and assign the values in the array to $value. if($value != "." && $value != ".."){ // Check if $value == . or .. and if they do dont echo it. echo $value."<br />"; // Echo $value } } } ?>
And that’s it. It really is simple for more information about the scandir function visit http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php. If you want any more help or want to leave feedback please leave a comment.
