PHP - Hide Thing From Being Viewed Website Directory

Hello all,

Wondering if you can help me, I am wondering if it is possible to get PHP to show the last websites you viewed, just giving the names of the websites in a list. If so? is there any pointers someone can give me as to how to learn to achieve something like this..I'd really appreciate the help!

Hi Gusy,
Would be great if you can help me to sort this out and Thank you in advance.

I would like to hide all files with "swf" extension from my file and folder directory,
I know how to hide one specific file but not ll files with same extension. For example: *.swf.

Here is my code which is work for full file names but not all files with same extension.

<?php
$filearray = array();
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != ".htaccess" && $file != "index.php" && $file != "style.css" && $file != "Images" && $file != "*.swf" && $file != "index.html") {
$filearray[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
natcasesort($filearray);
foreach($filearray as $f) {
$thelist .= '<img width="15" height="15" alt="[DIR]" src="/Images/folder.jpg"> <a href="'.$f.'">'.$f.'</a>
';
}
}
?>

As you can see I have "&& $file != "*.swf"" which need your advise in this part.

I just want people not seeing all .SWF files in the index directory of my server.
I have already have index.html inside my folder as well which has been hided because of "$file != "index.html"". But this is not hiding my ".SWF" files.

Many Thanks.

Hi all,

So I've nearly finished coding my first website. Currently all the files are in the same directory on my harddrive, but I now want to create a proper folder structure that will be secure. I have been reading up on this a lot on various websites, but it seems like most articles on this topic are targetted at developers with much more complicated websites than mine, and it's all a bit over my head.

My website is quite simple, it consists of the following:

1) html files and php files that print something to the screen that I want to be accessible to the user by typing in the url in the browser.

2) html and php files that are called upon by 1, they either print something to the screen inside an iframe or not at all - I want these files to be accessible only to 1) and not directly to the user by typing the url

3) image files and includes, etc.

(and also 4) a MySQL database, but maybe this doesn't really have anything to do with the website folder structure.)

What should my directory structure be and where should I put 1), 2), 3), etc.?
Thanks a lot!

My very first post..... please be gentle.

Question 1: Why does this work? - include("./includes/constants.php");

Ok here goes - I have a website which was written in php. I did not write it and the person who did was new to php and programming - as am I. I have the job of completing it. It was written trying to follow an OO model. I have a class 'Database.php' which handles the DB connection side of things. Pretty standard stuff.

This database class 'includes' a file called 'constants.php' which stores the DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS and DB_NAME properties.

HERE IS THE CATCH. The includes statement says:
include("./includes/constants.php");
I dont understand the single dot and have not yet used it. The site works fine - with the exception that my forms do not work. The site pulls data, images, urls from the database so it obviously connects ok.

The constants.php file is located up one level then in the includes folder. ie include("../includes/constants.php");
If I add a second dot ( ../ )it breaks - even though the path is correct with 2 dots. I dont get it.

Question 2:
So to add insult to injury when I leave it as a single dot (if it aint broke, dont fix it) and try to post a form I get these error messages:

Warning: include(./includes/constants.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/******/public_html/development/classes/database.php on line 2

Warning: include(./includes/constants.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/******/public_html/development/classes/database.php on line 2

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening './includes/constants.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/******/public_html/development/classes/database.php on line 2

I am a total newb at this but my english tells me that all of a sudden it is looking for my constants.php file in a total new path either :/usr/lib/php or usr/local/lib/php. Is there something special about 'includes'? I have used requires and require_once etc for other included files (in this website) without any path drama.

I am using cPanel and I dont even see those directories - /usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php.

I hope I didnt put anyone to sleep. Both of these seem like simple problems, but I have tried and failed.
Thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

I've been working on a script for a while now,
and I'm sure it doesn't look great and all, and it's probably really messed up..
But right now I've finally got it working!
There's only 1 thing I'd really like to add..
Searching through & listing of remote directories!
The directories I'm trying to list have directory listings enabled,
and I think it *should* be possible.
I just have no clue how.

Here's my current code in a beautiful mix of HTML and PHP:


<?
$border_size = "0";

function returner($what) {
$what=explode("/",$what);
$tps=count($what);
$what=$what[$tps-1];
return $what;
}

$page_url= "";
$home_url=returner(__FILE__);
if(isset($_GET['q'])) {
$qtext=$_GET['q'];
} else {
$qtext="";
}
function getdirsize($directory, $format=FALSE) {
$size = 0;
if(substr($directory,-1) == '/') {
$directory = substr($directory,0,-1);
}
if(!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory) || !is_readable($directory)) {
return -1;
}
if($handle = opendir($directory)) {
while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
$path = $directory.'/'.$file;
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
if(is_file($path)) {
$size += filesize($path);
}
elseif(is_dir($path)) {
$handlesize = getdirsize($path);
if($handlesize >= 0) {
$size += $handlesize;
} else {
return -1;
}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
if($format == TRUE) {
if($size / 1048576 > 1) {
return round($size / 1048576, 1).' MB';
}
elseif($size / 1024 > 1) {
return round($size / 1024, 1).' KB';
} else {
return round($size, 1).' bytes';
}
} else {
return $size;
}
}

if(isset($_GET['type'])){
  $type=$_GET['type'];
} else {
  $type="new";
}

So right now my question to you PHP freaks is,
can you please help me edit my script so I can search through a remote directory?

*This* is one of the directories I wish to be able to search through & list..

Thanks in advance. 

Edit;
It might help if you know what the site currently looks like.
