directory indexer

Hey, i asked a very similar question on here before and after a lot of research I've found that most of the scripts that I've found needed access to httpd.conf of which I don't have access to (as i'm under a host and simply need to index a few directories). I tried using other scripts but most did not work or needed the FTP functions in the comp.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a directory indexer script they wrote or knew of one that had doc/config's well commented and didn't need the aforementioned above. I hope I put this in the right category - Thanks,

Well I don't know of a single script in particular, but here are some sites that could lend a hand.

Hope this helps bud.

Bummer. I don't think my host supports PERL /CGI scripts. Tried all of the ones over at hotscripts and my german isn't any good Thanks for the links though. I really appreciate it.

here is a function that i used in one of my script, could use some tweaking though since i only write it to do the job, not do it well.

PHP:

<?php

function list_files($root, $path, $url, $in)
{
    $root = rtrim($root, '/') . '/';
    $path = rtrim($path, '/') . '/';
    if($path == '/') { $path = '';}
    $url = rtrim($url, '/') . '/';
    $dir = $root . $path;
    $h = @opendir($dir);
    if(!$h)
    {
        return array();
    }
    $files = array();
    while(false != ($f = readdir($h)))
    {
        if($f != '..' && $f != '.' && $f != '.htaccess')
        {
            if(!is_dir($root.$path.$f))
            {
                array_push($files, array('name' => $f, 'url' => $url . $path . $f, 'size' => filesize($root.$path.$f), 'time' => filemtime($root.$path.$f), 'type' => extension($f) ) );
            }
            else
            {
                array_unshift($files, array('name' => $f, 'url' => 'index.php?action=browse&amp;in='.$in.'&amp;dir=' . $path . $f, 'size' => '-', 'time' => '-', 'type' => 'dir'));
            }
        }
    }
    if($path != '')
    {
        array_unshift($files, array('name' => 'Up one dir', 'url' => 'index.php?action=browse&amp;in='.$in.'&amp;dir=' . (dirname($path)=='.' ? '' : dirname($path)), 'size' => '-', 'time' => '-', 'type' => 'dir'));
    }
    return $files;
}

?>

Ok I have a pretty simple indexer. On it, it displays the location at the top and says: "You are here: /home/username/thesite/" I was hoping someone could tell me how I could strip off the front of the specified absolute path so it's simply thesite - that way it's not tacky looking. I'm not real sure how to go about it. Maybe using some sort of Left function or something. I dunno

the lophty indexer (http://dev.lophty.com/indexer/) has it perfect at the top but i couldn't figure out how he set it up/stripped it down.

hey my avatar title should be 'Avid Pain In The ***' instead of Avid Help

appreciate the newbie patience,

explode ( '/', $path );

hmm gives me 'Array' so going to try and figure out why. Thanks (C)Dude

Gives you 'Array' because the explode() function turns it into an array.

$path = "/home/username/thesite/";
explode( '/', $path);

To get 'thesite' you would do
echo $path[2];

$path[0] = ""
$path[1] = "home"
$path[2] = "username"
$path[3] = "thesite"

hope that helps

For more help you can always visit www.php.net
Here is the link to the explode function for more help:

Edit: made a mistake in that... fixed it

interesting interesting.. hey i'm learning! so the only problem after that is.. if the $path changed.. ie the user clicked into a sub-directory

$path = '/home/username/thesite/sub/';

somehow i guess i'd have to get hte total count of the arrays and grab the highest number? hmm

thinkin,
nick

*EDIT: array_reverse ($explodedpath); seemed to do the trick for now - Thanks! thanks!! thanks!!! ;-) *
