PHP - Open Files In Folders Dynamics

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, 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?

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'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);

?>

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

}
