Topic awaiting preservation: List HTML files in dir &sub-dirs'

Yup!
I got this in a discussion where GRUMBLE needed that, and Mr.maX gave this:

<?

$dir_name = "/path/to/html/files/";



$dir = opendir($dir_name);

$file_list = "";



while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {

    if (preg_match("/html\$/i", $file_name)) {

        $file_list .= "$dir_name$file_name<BR>";

    }

}



closedir($dir);



echo "$file_list";

?>

But I need to list the subdir files too!

Any idea or reference?

Wakkos: I'm not sure if it is possible but you could possibly have some kind of recursive functions which checks to see if something is a directory:
http://www.php.net/is_dir

and then if it is you pass this directory back into the function which opens the directories and reads the contents. Like:

function read_dir ($dir_name) {

STUFF



  if (is_dir($file_name)) {

    read_dir ($file_name);

  }



}

It strikes me as being the most efficient way of doing it anyway.

I found this:

function getDirList ($dirName) { 

$d = dir($dirName); 

while($entry = $d->read()) { 

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

if (is_dir($dirName."/".$entry)) { 

getDirList($dirName."/".$entry); 

} else { 

echo $dirName."/".$entry."<br> \n"; 

} 

} 

} 

$d->close(); 

}

And works cool, but I dunno how to exclude all files but HTML :
if (preg_match("/html\$/i", $file_name)) {
$file_list .= "$dir_name$file_name<BR>";
}

I tryied the variables change and tryied to adapt it to that script over there....
Too bad I have no Idea....

Wakkos: Ah Jim lad try this here code arrrrrrrr:

if (preg_match("/html\$/i", $entry)) { 

echo "$dir_name$file_name<BR>"; 

}

I just changed the cariables in the echo too!

My problem was WHERE to add that code! but I ate some pills,. and the problem is worked out....

function getDirList ($dirName) { 

$d = dir($dirName); 

while($entry = $d->read()) { 

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

if (is_dir($dirName."/".$entry)) { 

getDirList($dirName."/".$entry);



} else { 

if (preg_match("/html\$/i", $entry)) 

	{ 

	echo "<a href=$dirName/$entry>$entry</a><BR>"; 

	} 

} 

} 

} 

$d->close(); 

} 

getDirList(".");
