PHP - Using Folders In Mysql

How do you count the number of folders in a directory?

Hi, I have coded a site, whereby users can log in, and depending on their group, view all files within their group directory:
Code: [Select]
if ($handle = opendir("storage/Admin/$group")) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"storage/Admin/$group/$file\">$file</a> <br />";
        }
}
closedir($handle);
}
In this example, a user can click on their file, and it will let them download it, but if there is a folder (directory) in there, once clicked on, it will open a  index of the directory.

Is there a way instead, to let it open a custom page and list the files within it there?

so is it impossible if I have a users folder and a messaging folder located in the same folder.

To have a script in the users folder reading from the messaging folder

from a script in the messaging folder i thought i could just do this to read the users folder but apparently not

Code: [Select]
<? require("users/menu.php"); ?>

I have seen many web sites that will have there page set up with a directory structure instead of the ?x=f&a=s...

for example shapeways has for each product a page like this:

http://www.shapeways.com/model/194992/

They are not generating a folder and index.php for each product because you can type any file name you want in after the / and you will still get the same page.  Was wondering how it is done as it makes much more human remember able addresses.

I have written a rule that if a file doesn't exist, then look for it in "sub1" folder, for example:

when someone goes to www.example.com/file15 it will rewrite to -> www.example.com/sub1/file15, and it works

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub1/$1 [QSA]

But there are more folders than sub1, so if a "file15" doesn't exist in sub1, then look for it in folder sub2, and if it's not in sub2, then rewrite to sub3.

I tried this but doesn't work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub1/$1 [QSA]

RewriteCond sub1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond sub1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub2/$1 [QSA]

i have some questions on how folders and files permissions work. say i have users directories outside 'protected' as below..

Code: [Select]
users
 -- usera
   -- docs
 -- userb
   -- docs
protected

i do not want user B who does not have the rights, to access anything in user A directories. also, i do not want any person to access the directories directory via url links. basically i just want users to be able to access their own directories, and no one else. how can it be done?

thanks!

Hi All - hope someone has done this before.

I need to create a PHP script that detects the presence of a new file appearing into a folder, and process it.

This HAS to be supported by Windows IIS  (Have looked at FAM for Linux but can't use it).

I could do a loop with some sleep that checks the directory every x seconds - but this has been discounted by the client as either a) too resource hungry or b) not quick enough if there is a delay.

Add ons, extensions or even external 3rd party tools would all be acceptable.

Any ideas?

hi, I've tried searching google without luck so I thought I would try here. I'm trying to display the names of the last 5 modified folders within a directory i provide. Does anyone know a tutorial or site that could teach me how to do this?

Dear all PHP experts need your help please as I'm very new the PHP. I found this php form script on the net which works perfectly but only uploads one file. I need to upload a second file and send it to a different folders and a different field on the database. I have viewed a number of site and changed the code a number of time without success I have put the code back to original script, can some one please show me what I need to do. Thanks

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
               <label>First Name</label><input type="text" name="fname" /><br />   
               <label>Last Name</label><input type="text" name="lname" /><br />       
               <label>Upload Image</label> <input type="file" name="image" /><br>
               <label>Spec</label> <input type="file" name="spec" /><br />
               <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" /> 
               <input type="submit" id="submit" value="Upload" /> 
</form> 


Script
 
      function is_valid_type($file)

         return 1; 
     return 0; 
 } 
 function showContents($array) 
 { 
     echo "<pre>"; 
     print_r($array);

     $result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not insert data into DB: " . mysql_error()); 
     header("Location: images.php");

 } 
 else

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!

Hey guys,

I'm very new to PHP so I apologize for any stupid mistakes or if I'm a little slow understanding things.

I have put together a small website and I wanted to use a PHP script to display a list of files and folders (and sub folders).

Basically a ghetto equivalent of an FTP page so I can apply CSS and make things look a little pretty.

I have the following code I found from Google that will display all of the files and folders, not perfect but it will work for now!  However I can't seem to work out the syntax to make them a hyperlink.

Any help would be appreciated!

<?php

function getDirectory( $path = '.', $level = 0 ){

    $ignore = array( 'cgi-bin', '.', '..' );
    // Directories to ignore when listing output. Many hosts
    // will deny PHP access to the cgi-bin.

    $dh = @opendir( $path );
    // Open the directory to the handle $dh
    
    while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ){
    // Loop through the directory
    
        if( !in_array( $file, $ignore ) ){
        // Check that this file is not to be ignored
            
            $spaces = str_repeat( '&nbsp;', ( $level * 4 ) );
            // Just to add spacing to the list, to better
            // show the directory tree.
            
            if( is_dir( "$path/$file" ) ){
            // Its a directory, so we need to keep reading down...
            
                echo "<strong>$spaces $file</strong><br />";
                getDirectory( "$path/$file", ($level+1) );
                // Re-call this same function but on a new directory.
                // this is what makes function recursive.
            
            } else {
            
                echo "$spaces $file<br />";
                // Just print out the filename
            
            }
        
        }
    
    }
    
    closedir( $dh );
    // Close the directory handle

}

?> 

I'm using the following code in a WordPress functions file to rename a folder in the uploads folder according to the date, but this only works if the chmodd settings of both folders are 777. How can I change this code so I can use at least chmodd 755 to keep my website save.

Code: [Select]
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam'); // set timezone
$foldername = '';
$source = 'uploads';
$allfolders = getDirectory($source); // get folders
$folder = $source.'/'.$allfolders[0]; // get first folder
$month = (int)date('n');
$day = (int)date('j');
$f = 50-$day; $s = 100-$month;
$newfolder = $source.'/'.(string)$f.(string)$s;
if($folder != '' && $folder != $newfolder){
rename($folder, $newfolder);
$foldername = $newfolder."/";
}else if($folder == $newfolder){
$foldername = $newfolder."/";
}
else{ $foldername = 'error';
}

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!!!

hello, I have implemented a snippet that reads images in
I create folders dynamically from admin and makes them see
lightbox style .. the same works fine but it shows all
images in all folders and not those relating to
folder clicked ..
The result you can see it he
aires-restauro.org/beta/gallery2.php

code:
<?php
$folder = opendir('gallery/');
echo "<gallery>";
while ($file = readdir($folder)) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..'){
echo "<album path='gallery/$file/' name='$file'>";
$subfolder="gallery/".$file."/";
$subfolderdir = opendir($subfolder);
while ($subfile = readdir($subfolderdir)) {
if($subfile != '.' && $subfile != '..'){
echo "<a href='$subfolder$subfile' class='pirobox_gall'>$file</a>";
}
}
echo "</album>";
}
}
echo "</gallery>";
?>


repeats the same directory as I would like to see that by clicking the directory do see the images of that directory

sorry but I do not speak English well and I thank you in advance

Hi,

I am using an array which allows me to prevent particular subfolders from being included in a script that generates an audio playlist.  It looks like this:

$disallowed=array('..', '.', 'simon', 'steve');

I would like to find a way of disallowing any folders which are empty, or, perhaps, better still, disallowing folders that do not have any MP3s in them (in case the script interprets folders as not empty if they contain system files which are automatically generated).

Would someone be able to help with this?

Thanks,

Nick
