PHP - Copy Directory And Sub-directories Using File Names As .txt Files

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);
}
?>

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.

Hey I have this code which works fine, it echos the file names from a directory into a dropdown box

how can I change it to include more then one directory
<?php
$dirname = "../images/staff";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
echo '<select name="file2">';
echo '<option value="">none</option>';
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
if(($file != ".") and ($file != ".."))
{
echo "<option value=".$file.">$file</option>";
}
}
echo '</select>';
?>


I tried this but it didnt work any help
<?php
$dirname = "../images/staff";
$dirname .= "../images/boarddirectors";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
echo '<select name="file2">';
echo '<option value="">none</option>';
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
if(($file != ".") and ($file != ".."))
                            {
echo "<option value=".$file.">$file</option>";
}
              }
echo '</select>';
?>

How do I get directory names to display with spaces. My script sticks them into arrays just fine, but when trying to echo from a checkbox selection, it only displays the first word. How would I fix this?

i have made an delete files script which works for only one directory but not sub directory so i want to delete files of same extention from directory and subdirectory.

My current code is

Code: [Select]

<?

$dir = 'hmm/';

function scanr($dir){

$arr = glob($dir.'/*.jpg');
foreach($arr as $vv){



//check if $vv is a file
if(is_file($vv)){

//if file, get the filename
$vx=explode('/',$vv);
$file=$vx[count($vx)-1];


// if no extension delete the file
unlink($vv);
// print the deletion message
echo $vv." deleted!<br>";}else{
// if $vv is a dir then scan it again for files
scanr($vv);
}}
}

scanr($dir);
?>

Okay, so I'm kind of a PHP noob.   But out of context, for this site that I'm designing, it's easiest if I make a directory in the temporary folder PHP uses. In my case, /tmp/ because I am on Linux.   I want to use rand() to generate a random name for the page. But I then realized something, rand() could produce duplicates. How do I prevent PHP from trying to make the same directory at the same time? I know there are functions that will check if a file exists but I'm assuming it'll fail if that directory is currently being created, right?   How do I assure thread safety?   I willing to change my idea and not use rand(). Is there a way to get a unique key for each anonymous user on my site?

hey, can some one provide a code to help me copy a folder called contents with files in it to another folder called items

cheers

I know this code works

INSERT INTO archive_table
SELECT * FROM original_table WHERE id = 1

But i want to also add the current date whenever i copy the data into a new table.     Thanks in advance    

How would I copy an array of selected files? I know how to list them using a 'for' loop, and how to separate them using a 'foreach' loop, but I am unable to get a checkbox array to copy to a destination folder. Help is appreciated.

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 need to copy php files from remote linux (apache) server to windows usb drive. I am using php windows but the files were created in php under linux.   Do I just download them or do I need to do something to make this work

I have created a table called directories. Now basically I have two fields;

dirID (INT)
directory (VARCHAR)

now I am fully aware this might sound like more of an SQL question but I have three physical directories:

db/images/web1
db/images/web2
db/images/web3

I have inputted them into the database but I was just wondering, how could I created a page which links those records to a directory. I want to have each row hyperlinked, with the output page displaying list of contents for each directory. How can I possibly achieve this please?

hmm im having some trouble tackling this problem

i have a database table with topicname then 3 columns with 3 pdfs in each one
all the files are stored in a directory called topicfiles in the server
so like 3 topicnames with 3 files in each one

with this page i want to make
i want to display each topic name with the files under it calling it from the server
like

Code: [Select]
topic 1
    file1.pdf
    file2.pdf
    file3.pdf

topic 2
    file4.pdf
    file5.pdf
    file6.pdf

topic 3
    file71.pdf
    file8.pdf
    file9.pdf


i tried using dhandler to access all files in the folder and only managed to display all of the files in rows using foreach loop
was thinkin of using mysql query to access the topic name and then each file for that topic but not sure hmmm
