[PHP] Re:[PHP] code quest
Frankly, while that modulo looks like something worthy of learning,
for my immediate time critical need I went with a quicker method,
which is working. The complete script is below. It simply counts
cells and resets the row when a number is exceeded.
?php
# The next several lines declare an array of directories which are
NOT to be listed!#
$excludes[] = 'attachments'; #20
$excludes[] = 'data';
$excludes[] = 'include';
$excludes[] = 'resources';
$excludes[] = 'stats';
$excludes[] = '_private';
$excludes[] = '_vti_bin';
$excludes[] = '_vti_cnf';
$excludes[] = '_vti_log';
$excludes[] = '_vti_pvt';
$excludes[] = '_vti_txt'; #30
$excludes[] = '_vxi_txt';

$excludes[] = 'img';

$excludes[] = 'js';
$excludes[] = 'cgi';
$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
$excludes[] = 'ssfm';
$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
$counter=0; #40
echo 'table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=5
bgcolor=F0F0F0tr';
foreach ($ls as $d) { if (is_dir($d)
!preg_match('/^\./',basename($d)) !in_array(basename($d),$excludes))
{
++$counter ;
echo 'td width=150 valign=topcenter'.$d.'bra
href='.$d.'';
echo 'img src=./'.$d.'/thumb.png width=120 HEIGHT=175
border=5/abr/center';
include($d./desc.txt);

Re: [PHP] code quest
well, this ends the row after every cell. I am trying to get a row
of 5 cells across, then end it and start a new row. If the routines
stops before the end of the count of 5 due to lack of further
directories, closing out the table following the loops will onclude
a /tr tag.

They are almost identical. Echo supports multiple parameters like echo $a, $b; print is 20% slower than echo (by some tests). echo is shorter than print so it's easy to write.

Re: [PHP] code quest
A good point, but in this application there WILL be AT LEAST 1
legitimate directory at all times, or else the script would not be used,
so this ought not be a problem.
My problem is that I understand the basic functions to implement, but
have not yet aquired sufficient command of php to implement the required
multi step algorithm.

Hello all, my name is Kirk Bailey, and I am new to php, so please be forbearing.
I code in python, and am trying to learn this language as our new client runs a
web business based in it.
I need a routine that will return a list of every directory immediately under
the current directory- but nothing else, just a list of directories, 1 level
deep, NO FILES, no listing of current dir or prior dir either.
Now in python, I would use os.walk, and use the list of dirs and throw the other
2 lists away, but this ain't Kansas anymore. Does php even DO lists?
Um, a list is a 1 dimenional array, if have a list ALIST and you plug in 3, you
get back the contents of cell 3 in the list, whaqtever that content is. so if
cell 3 in a 6 celled list was Ruby then ALIST[3] would return the string
ruby.
It's easy to iterate lists. For instance:
print 'ul'
for dir in ALIST:
print 'lia href=\/dir,dir,'/a
print '/ul
This would let me produce an ordered list of directories, each a link to that
directory.
This way, when a client installs a new product, the home page area listing
products offered automatically updates.
Further embellishment would let me replace the dir name with a BRIEF description
from a descriptor file read from that dir. Now how to do this in php?
This should do.
The only problem that I foresee would be an empty ul/ul if you have no
directories returned by glob().
print('ul');
foreach ( glob('./*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) AS $dir )
print('lia href=\'.$dir.'\'.$dir.'/a/li');
print('/ul');

Sure. Change:

I think the last example would probably be the best one to use, that way
you can still have some directories with the . or - or even the _ in the

If you do ?php include(something.php); ? ...then something.php will be able to see and work with the superglobals that have been set up further up the page, which is *usually* what you want. You could try both approaches in a test env and see what you get. I'll use SSI for dumb blocks of text and php include for smart blocks of code, because IME that tends to produce fewer instances of gross stupidity.

Re: [PHP] code quest
Ok, let's kick this around.
iterating an array(?; 1 dimensional listing of things) in php, I am
creating a list of direcoties. I want to open and read in a file in each
directory with a standard name, which contains a 1 line description of
the directory and it's purpose.
Now, here's the existing code; this code is online NOW at this url:
http://www.howlermonkey.net/dirlisting.php
* 1?php # The next several lines declare an array of directories
which are
2NOT to be listed!
3$excludes[] = 'images';
4$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
5$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';
6$excludes[] = 'private';
7$excludes[] = 'thumbnail';
8
9$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
10foreach ($ls as $d) {
11if (is_dir($d) !preg_match('/^\./',basename($d))
12!in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) {
13 echo 'lia href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
14 }
15}
16?*
Let's say the file to read in /elite is named 'desc.txt'.
It looks like you want me to modify line 13 to say:
echo 'lia href='.$d.''.include($d.'desc.txt').'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
so, if the file '/elite/desc.txt' contains the line
*82nd Airbourne - We are an elite unit of army Paratroopers
*
Then that element in the list would appear as:
* 82nd Airbourne -We are an elite unit of army Paratroopers
And would be clickable. Let's try it and see if this hound hunts.

Re: [PHP] code quest
The hound barks, but does not yet properly hunt, and we need to bring
home the bacon.
OK, here is the current code:
?php # The next several lines declare an array of directories which
are NOT to be listed!
$excludes[] = 'images';
$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';
$excludes[] = 'private';

!in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) {
echo 'lia href='.$d.''.include('./'.$d.'/desc.txt')
;#.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;

}
?
the url again, to view the results, is
http://www.howlermonkey.net/dirlisting.php and is live right now. The

Ok, I don't think that's actually the code that generated the page you
link to, but let's go with what you've got.
First of all, include() does not return a string to the calling
program. include() basically redirects the php interpretter to process
the contents of the file. What include() returns is success or failure
of the execution of the included script. To use the current setup you
have with the desc.txt files, you want to do something like this:
echo 'lia href='.$d.'';
include('./'.$d.'/desc.txt');
echo '/a/libr /'.PHP_EOL;
If the file desc.txt contains only text, it will get sent to the
browser as is.

Sure. Change:

To:
if (is_dir($d) !preg_match('/[\.\-]/',$d)) {
Keep in mind, though, that the change will no longer show anything
that matches the below either:
example.directory
example-directory

css.files
In other words, you may instead want to explicitly state which
directories to omit, and then drop anything that begins with a dot as

$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';

that matches the below either:
example.directory
example-directory
special-images
css.files
In other words, you may instead want to explicitly state which
directories to omit, and then drop anything that begins with a dot as
well (hidden directories on *NIX-like boxes) like so:
?php
$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';
$excludes[] = 'private';
$excludes[] = 'thumbnail';
$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($ls as $d) {
if (is_dir($d) !preg_match('/^\./',basename($d))
!in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) {
echo 'lia href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
?

damn you Daniel... I was just about to reply with almost the EXACT same
answer!!!
I think the last example would probably be the best one to use, that way
you can still have some directories with the . or - or even the _ in the
names, and still be able to display them.

ps thanks for saving me type it all out Daniel :)

Now in python, I would use os.walk, and use the list of dirs and throw the
other
2 lists away, but this ain't Kansas anymore. Does php even DO lists?
Um, a list is a 1 dimenional array, if have a list ALIST and you plug in 3,
you
get back the contents of cell 3 in the list, whaqtever that content is. so if
cell 3 in a 6 celled list was Ruby then ALIST[3] would return the string
ruby.
It's easy to iterate lists. For instance:
print 'ul'
for dir in ALIST:
print 'lia href=\/dir,dir,'/a
print '/ul
This would let me produce an ordered list of directories, each a link to that
directory.
This way, when a client installs a new product, the home page area listing
products offered automatically updates.
Further embellishment would let me replace the dir name with a BRIEF
description
from a descriptor file read from that dir. Now how to do this in php?
This should do.
The only problem that I foresee would be an empty ul/ul if you have no
directories returned by glob().
print('ul');
foreach ( glob('./*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) AS $dir )
print('lia href=\'.$dir.'\'.$dir.'/a/li');
print('/ul');

Re: [PHP] code quest
Daniel, this is so close to bang on it's unbelivable. Only prob is my
host provided me with this $^@%^^$! dir which is named .smileys, which
holds icons for use in the control panel. It should NOT list it, nor
list the /cgi-bin, nor /images. Can it somehow exclude those 3, or maybe
a list of things not to notice?
Also, how compatible is it with SSI includes? If part of the echo is an
ssi include statement, will it work right? Hmmm...

Simple:
?php
$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($ls as $d) {
if (is_dir($d) $d != '.' $d != '..') {
echo 'a href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
?
If you want something more powerful - and often quicker - check
into SPL: specifically FilesystemIterator[1], DirectoryIterator[2],
and RecursiveDirectoryIterator[3]. A quick example to link all child
files and directories with relative linking:
?php
$path = dirname(__FILE__);
$list = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new
RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path));
foreach ($list as $k = $v) {
if (!preg_match('/\./',$v)) {
$v = str_replace($path.'/',null,$v); // We only want
relative linking
echo 'a href='.$v.''.$v.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
}
}

Re: [PHP] code quest
OK, answered my own question; no, an ssi statement inside a php echo statement is simply sent out as is, unparxsed. But if it is external to the php area, it works fine, so we have to include a function in there that will read anything I want to spew- like the 1 line contents of a desciptor file in a particular directory. The idea is to create a directory lister which reads a descriptor for that folder and uses it as the text for the link. Daniel P. Brown wrote: On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 12:36, Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] code quest
OK, the quest thus far:
html
head
TITLEphp experimental page/TITLE
style TYPE=text/css
body { margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 5%; }
A:link, A:visited, A:active { text-decoration:none; }
A:hover { text-decoration:underline; }
/style
/head
BODY text=00 bgcolor=FF
h2 align=centerSubdirectory listing experimental menuing page/h1P
ul
?php
$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($ls as $d) {
if (is_dir($d) $d != '.' $d != '..') {
echo 'lia href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
?
/ul
P
nbsp;
/body
/html
The results may be seen on this page:
http://www.howlermonkey.net/dirlisting.php
Can this be improved to exclude anything with a '.' or a '-' in it's
name? This will exclude the smileys and cgi-bin and such. If it can be
persuaded to read a 1 line description from each subdirectory it could
then use THAT as the text in the link, instead of the name. This could
be useful in many settings.

Nephtali: PHP web framework that functions beautifully

Code igniter, a php framework can do this with one call. It could be worth

I'm not sure CodeIgniter would be of any help here. I don't recall any
function in the CodeIgniter framework that lists directories like this,
so he'd still have to end up coding it himself.
Also, python tends to be used more for command line stuff than websites.
CodeIgniter does have a CLI extension, but the app would just be
severely bloated running an entire PHP framework for what might only
need a light script. Bit like using a sledgehammer to hammer in a thumb
tack, can be done, but not really the best tool for the job.
Thanks,
