Reading directory content

Hi,

If you are not sure about the content of a directory, this is how you can get it. This is helpful in scenarios e.g.  where the admin or any other user uploads music files, images etc to a specific directory in the server via some FTP client(e.g. filezilla) instead of a conventional web page with file uploader.

To achieve this you just need 2 main functions, opendir() and readdir(). Here is how I had done it:
<?php
$dir_path="repository/files/";
$browse_directory = opendir($dir_path);
while($entries = readdir($browse_directory)) {
$dir_array[] = $entries;
}
closedir($browse_directory);
$index_cnt= count($dir_array);
Print ($index_cnt." files<br>\n");

sort($dir_array);
print("<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 class=whitelinks>\n");
print("<TR><TH>Filename</TH><th>Type</th><th>File size</th></TR>\n");
for($index=0; $index < $index_cnt; $index++) {
print("<TR><TD><a href=\"$dir_array[$index]\">$dir_array[$index]</a></td>");
print("<td>");
print(filetype($dir_path.$dir_array[$index]));
print("</td>");
print("<td>");
print(filesize($dir_path.$dir_array[$index]));
print("</td>");
print("</TR>\n");
}
print("</TABLE>\n");
?>
The output of the above will be something like:
