listing files - some won't show

Beginners - Learning PHP
#1

Hi. I’m very noob.

The page flamencopeko.net/lyrics.php will only show some filetypes like .jpg and .ico, but not .txt for instance.

This is the code:

[php]

<?php // open directory $myDirectory = opendir("lyrics"); // get entries while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory)) { $dirArray[] = $entryName; } // close directory closedir($myDirectory); // count elements in array $indexCount = count($dirArray); // show number of songs print("
\n"); Print ("$indexCount songs in table
\n"); print("

\n"); // sort files sort($dirArray); // print files print("\n"); // cellpadding=5 class=whitelinks print("\n"); // loop through the array of files and print them all for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++) { if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != "."){ // don't list hidden files print(""); print(""); print(""); print("\n"); } } print("
title type size
$dirArray[$index]"); print(filetype($dirArray[$index])); print(""); print(filesize($dirArray[$index])); print("
\n"); ?>

[/php]

This is the error:

Warning: filetype() [function.filetype]: Lstat failed for New Text 2.txt in /usr/home/sys/www/cccp/flamencopeko/lyrics.php on line 52

Strangely renaming a .txt file to .jpg gives the same error.

#4

I see now that problem is that filename is read from lyrics folder as it should, but type and size from home folder.

#5

So problem is not solved. Also why does it list two extra files, and where do I put ‘-2’?

#6

Another solution I tried now, that works, is to put the lyrics.php file (and rename it to index.php) in the lyrics folder. But then I need to know how to exclude the index.php file itself from the table listing.

#7

Fixed the counting thing with this:

[php]$indexReal = $indexCount-2;[/php]

Then just printing that.

#8

I’ve expanded the table a bit. Still need to show only .txt files. And the number index starts at 2, not 1.

This is the new code. The file is named index.php, and resides in a folder named lyrics along with the .txt files.

[php]

// open directory
$myDirectory = opendir(".");

// get entries
while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory)) {
$dirArray[] = $entryName;
}

// close directory
closedir($myDirectory);

// count elements in array
$indexCount = count($dirArray);
$indexReal = $indexCount-2;

// show number of songs
print("

\n");
Print (“Songs in table: $indexReal.
\n”);
print("

\n");

// sort files
sort($dirArray);

// print table
print("

\n");
print("\n");

// loop through the array of files and print them all
for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++) {
if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != “.”){ // don’t list hidden files
print("

");
print("");
print("");
print("");
print("\n");
}
}
print("
# title type size
$index");
$content = file($dirArray[$index]);
echo ("<a href="$dirArray[$index]">$content[0]");
print("		");
print(filetype($dirArray[$index]));
print("		");
print(filesize($dirArray[$index]));
print("
\n");
