[PHP] "highest" file
hey, given a directory structure like $DOCUMENT_ROOT/2001/03/02 (where 02 is a file in dir 03/ which obviously represents a date, i would like to implement a page such as latest.php, which will go to $DOCUMENT_ROOT, list all the directories, sort them numerically, choose the largest, chdir, repeat, chdir, and obtain the name of the file that is associated with the "highest" number. this is related to an announcement page, where a central page display.php handles the date directory tree. sometimes, there are releases on consecutive days, but it may happen that an announcement is a couple of days back, in which case i want latest.php to find it automatically and dynamically. any hints? martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- "when I was a boy I was told that anybody could become president. now i'm beginning to believe it." -- clarence darrow -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] hiding .php
hi, i would like to set up a script "forum" such that you can call a url http://www.server.com/forum/general and it will php-parse forum and pass /general as PATH_INFO. it's easy to get done as http://www.server.com/forum.php/general, but i would like to disclose the script name for reasons of obscurity. in fact, i would really like every request to be fed through something like /index.php, where the actual relative URI of the site is passed as PATH_INFO. so something of the form http://www.server.com/url/to/a/page would call /index.php with PATH_INFO=/url/to/a/page, and index.php could take care of whatever needs to be done to display that information. this can easily be done with a 404.php script, but i'd much rather do it transparently without this sort of abuse of the 404 feature. thanks, martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- "and no one sings me lullabies, and no one makes me close my eyes, and so i throw the windows wide, and call to you across the sky" -- pink floyd, 1971 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
