PHP - Sort Alphabetically / Directories
I am a php newb. I have 2 somewhat simple problems. First I have a huge list of movies that I would like sorted in a drop down list alphabetically. I already have the drop down list made and the movies show up correctly. But I cannot figure out how to sort the list. Here is the code
<?php $dir="/backup/Movies"; if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php") { $thelist .= '<option>'.$file.'</option>'; } } closedir($handle); } ?> <form action="listen.php" method="post" name="table"> <select name="Movie"> <P><?=$thelist?></p>' </select> </form> Second problem is inside this directory there are a few other directories is it possible to make the directories show at the top instead of them being sorted alphabetically with the movies. Thanks in advance Jake Similar TutorialsHello everyone. Newbie question. I have a page that pulls listings from a database by letter (a,b,c, etc) , but I would like to have a Next button, that would take people to the next letter, but can't figure out how to make that happen. I understand doing that with numbers and using the +1 for the next page, but how do you code a next button to search for the next letter? Any help would be VERY appreciated. Hi All i am wanting a column list like this http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions basically the database is set up as (id, category, parent) I want the parent to group the category section and list like the the joomla example in three columns search various threads throughout the internet but none seem to cover this entirely can any one please help????? Hi Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I'm totally stumped here and I know its a basic question but I'm very new to php and I need help :-) Basically all i would like to do is list the files and folders in the following directory alphabetically, I know i need to put them in an array etc but I don't know how and would really appreciate some help! So any help would be very gratefully received. Here's my code so far: <?php $sub = ($_GET['dir']); if (strstr($sub, "..")) {$sub = "";} $path = '../media/Documents'; $path = $path . "$sub"; $dh = opendir($path); $i=1; while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { if(substr($file,0,1) != ".") { if (substr($file, -4, -3) =="."){ echo "<font size=2 face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$i. $file <br />"; }else{ echo "<font size=2 face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$i. <a href='?dir=$sub/$file'>$file</a><br />"; } $i++; } } closedir($dh); ?> Many thanks in advance! I have a 'user' table and a display users page. How would I display them in alphabetical order by their username? Heres my current basic display page: <?php include 'dbwire.php'; include 'header.php'; $query = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM user'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { echo '<b>Username:</b> ' . $row['user'] . '<br />'; echo '<b>Real Name:</b> ' . $row['name'] . '<br />'; echo '<b>Email:</b> ' . $row['email'] . '<br />'; echo '<b>Location:</b> ' . $row['location'] . '<br /> <hr>'; } ?> Theres also an id row but since user wouldn't be added alphabetically I wouldn't be able to order them by id. Trying to find an answer for this question he http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7547960/sorting-displaying-by-numeric-and-then-alphabetically If any of you guys can't help that would be great I'm pretty new to php and I'm furiously trying to get this code to list the folders/files alphabetically but to no avail! I'd really appreciate it if someone could take a look and guide me as to what to do, I'm pulling what little hair i have left out! I can currently see the folder contents but the order is all over the place. Thanks very much!!! -------------------------- <?php $sub = ($_GET['dir']); if (strstr($sub, "..")) {$sub = "";} $path = '../media/Movies'; $path = $path . "$sub"; $dh = opendir($path); $i=1; while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { if(substr($file,0,1) != ".") { if (substr($file, -4, -3) =="."){ echo "<font size=2 face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$i. $file <br />"; }else{ echo "<font size=2 face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$i. <a href='?dir=$sub/$file'>$file</a><br />"; } $i++; } } closedir($dh); ?> -------------------------- I want the result of the code below, so that the dropdown menu is alphabetically ordened.. Code: [Select] <label> <select name="StuffCategory" id="StuffCategory" class="validate[required]" style="width: 350px;"> <option value="">Select Stuff Category...</option> <?php while($obj_queryStuffCategory = mysql_fetch_object($result_queryStuffCategory)) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $obj_queryStuffCategory->StuffCatID;?>" <?php if($obj_queryStuffCategory->StuffCatID == $dataAd[StuffCategory]) { echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?> > <?php echo $obj_queryStuffCategory->StuffCategory;?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </label> Hey guys does anyone know of a good dynamic directory solution? What i mean by this is when i am creating an application and i use require_once 'includes/config.php'; and then i create a class that needs the config file so i include it into the class like so: require_once '../include/config.php'; then i make a new folder named member then i have to require this class (created above) and it fails to find the directory. What would be a good solution for this? Thanks guys!! I am using the following code: Code: [Select] <?php $target = "images/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } ?> I am using this to upload photos to the directory called 'images'. How could I change this code so that I can choose an existing directory to upload it to and also create a new directory to upload it to if I wanted? So I have a simple template that I want to be the index page of the website that I'm working on, however, I don't want to have to create several almost identical files for each of the directories.
Is there perhaps anyway that I can change the content of the main div yet the address be a different directory.
So for example, this is the main index page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <head> <title>Matthew Noskiw's website - Home</title> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='./inc/CSS/styles/default.css' /> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='./inc/CSS/static/navigation.css' /> </head> <body> <div id='Container'> <div id='Header'> <div class='right'> <ul id='Navigation'> <li id='NavButton' class='active'><a href='./'>Home</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./about'>About</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./blog'>Blog</a></li> <li id='NavButton'><a href='./contact'>Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <span>noskiw.co.uk</span> </div> <hr /> <div id='MainContent'> <h2>Home</h2> <br /> <span> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

What I want to happen is that when I change the page, for example, go to /about I want it to read <h2>About</h2>. I have 4 different pages for this so far, is there any way to get it down to just one yet they be in different directories? P.S The reason this is in the PHP Help section is because I assumed that it would more than likely be something to do with PHP. Edited by ghostrider1337, 02 August 2014 - 02:36 PM.

Specifically i want to highlight this part:
$exclude_list;
$dir_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$dir_path .= "/file/unzipped/";
$directories = array_diff(scandir($fileunzippath.$clean_name), $exclude_list);
foreach($directories as $entry) {
if(is_dir($dir_path.$entry)) {
if($entry != 'part0' || $entry !='part1')
{
rmdir($entry);
}
}
}
When I upload a zip file containing 2 directories(one called 'part0', and one called 'bad'), they get unzipped correctly and it gives no errors, however the fake directories(not called part0 or part1) I put in there are still there. Any Help?
Hello everyone, This is a fairly simple question, but the explanation of the question isn't... I'll do my best. I have a site where my folders/sub-folders/files are arranged similar to this: _ Root Folder -| Root-IncludeFile1.php | Root-IncludeFile2.php | _ | Sub-Folder 1 -| Sub1-File1.php | |_Sub1-File2.php | _ | Sub-Folder 2 -| Sub2-File1.php | |_Sub2-File2.php | _ |_Sub-Folder 3 -| Sub3-IncludeFile1.php |_Sub3-IncludeFile2.php Hopefully that makes sense to everyone. Anyway, I know that to include a file that is in the root folder in file in a sub-folder, I can do this - include("../includefile1.php"); -but I'm trying to include a file that is in a sub folder in a file that is in another sub-folder. For example, I'm trying to include "Sub3-IncludeFile1.php" in "Sub-File1.php" I'm lost on this because I can't get it to work. I'm not getting any error messages except to say that the variables located in the file that should be included are not found. I've tried to do this: include("http://www.mysite.com/Sub-Folder3/Sub3-IncludeFile1.php"); and it doesn't work. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your help. i need to convert the following path Code: [Select] $url=http://www.test.com/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpg to Code: [Select] $updated_url= /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpgThe directories in the url are created dynamically Right now what i am doin is Code: [Select] $updated_url='/home/vhosts/'.$url.'/httpdocs/images/'.basename($url)which gives me /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/thumb. But I also need to get the directories 1/7/4/7/9. It may be differ for different urls. Can this be done through some form of string replacement or pattern matching method? I have written a piece of code that create a directories, files on the server using mkdir and touch and also inserts the form data into the table.. the code gets executed and the info gets stored in the database but the part which has the create directories. and files dont work as it doesnt create the directory and files on the server.. do i need to make changes to the php.ini file to enable the mkdir and touch feature to get enabled? as i said the code executes without any error.. I dont know wat to do.. please any help would be appreciated!! thanku I have one input upload and need it to go to two directories here is my upload code that handles the move_upload_file portion. Code: [Select] move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fillPDF']['tmp_name'], $strNewsPath . $strFilename); Thanks in advance. This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=321151.0 How do I include a file that is located two directories above the file that I want to include the file into? My absolute hosting path is /home/content/52/8840652/html if this would be of any use. I'm not quite sure about the PHP include functions. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! i am getting this as a echo, Code: [Select] Directory handle: Resource id #2 Files: . ..why? Code: [Select] <? if ($handle = opendir('images')) { echo "Directory handle: $handle\n"; echo "Files:\n"; /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */ while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){ if (is_dir($file)){ echo "$file\n"; } } closedir($handle); } ?> |
