Hey all,

okay i got my simple file management script going and here the chunk which retrieves all the files and directories and makes my thing...

PHP Code:

function file_extension($file)
{
    $path_info = pathinfo($file);
    return $path_info['extension'];
}
 
// This is the directory to list files for.
if(isset($_GET['dir']))
{
$theDirectory            = DOC_ROOT."/".$_GET['dir'].'/';
}
else {
$theDirectory            = DOC_ROOT."/";
}
// Do you want to show directories? change to false to hide directories.
$listDirectories    = true;
if(is_dir($theDirectory))
{
    echo "<table border='1'><tr><td>Name</td><td>Type</td><td>Size</td><td>CMOD</td><td>ext</td><td>Edit</td></tr>";
 echo '<tr><td><a href="file_manager.php">Home</a></td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr>';
    $dir = opendir($theDirectory);
    while(false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
    {
        $type    = filetype($theDirectory ."/". $file);
        if($listDirectories || $type != "dir")
        {
   if(isset($_GET['dir']))
   {
   $cur_dir = $_GET['dir'].'/';
   }
            echo "<tr><td><a href='?dir=".$cur_dir.$file."'>" . $file . "</a></td>";
            echo "<td>" . $type . "</td>";
            echo "<td>";
      echo filesize($theDirectory.$file);
            echo "</td><td>";
            echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($theDirectory.$file)), -4);
   echo "</td><td>";
 
            if($type == "file")
   {
   echo file_extension($file);
   echo '</td>';
 
    $editables = array('php','txt','phps','htm','html','js','css','htaccess');
    foreach($editables as $allowed_ext)
    { 
     if(file_extension($cur_dir.$file) == $allowed_ext)
     {
     echo '<td>';
     echo '<a href="file_manager.php?do=edit&file='.$cur_dir.$file.'">Edit</a>';
     echo '</td>';
     }
    }// Emd Foreach
   }//End if file is file.
   else {
   echo '-</td><td>-</td>';//Shows in Edit collum and EXT
   }//End else file
   echo '</tr>';
        }
    }// End while.
    closedir($dir);
    echo "</table>";
}
else
{
    echo $theDirectory . " is not a directory";
} 


but how can i make the files show alphabetically (and if possible have directories at the top and files after them, like in most OS's)

Thanks al, and as always TP if you can help

I think an array sort is what you need:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function...-multisort.php
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php

Though, I'm afraid I can only guess you need to put it about:

PHP Code:

    $dir = opendir($theDirectory);
    while(false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) 


For example:

PHP Code:

    $dir = opendir($theDirectory);
asort($dir);
    while(false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) 


had a go with it and it seems that it isnt a array

i used:

PHP Code:

while(false !== array_multisort(($file = readdir($dir)),SORT_DESC,SORT_STRING)) 


and i got the error: Warning: array_multisort() [function.array-multisort]: Argument #1 is expected to be an array or a sort flag in /home/ukcalm/public_html/admin/file_manager.php on line 69

So erm any idea?

Store all of your strings in an array and then sort that array.

i tried that using this block:

PHP Code:

    $dir = opendir($theDirectory);
 
 while (false !== ($dir_files = readdir($dir))) {
    $files[] = $dir_files;
 }
    while(array_multisort($files,SORT_DESC,SORT_STRING))
    {
        $type    = filetype($theDirectory ."/". $file);
        if($listDirectories || $type != "dir")
        {
   if(isset($_GET['dir']))
   {
   $cur_dir = $_GET['dir'].'/'; 


but now i cant load the page, it takes ages uses up a TON of memory and CPU for ie and then crashes and freezes the system

hello!

don't know if this would help?

You should be using the new scandir function (php5). http://uk3.php.net/scandir

Scandir returns an array not a string. You can then use the sort($array) functions http://uk2.php.net/sort.

Then you can loop through the array with a foreach loop.

Thanks Maxxximus works a treat, if only i could put the folders before the normal files this would be perfect

P.S i tried but cant give u no more TP

I know your doing your own code but did you look at autoindex?

http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/

demo : http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/demo/

I have used this in the past and it just works ... unlike so many things these days

Starlord

Just downloading it, looks ok, dont seem to have any other functins than display but hopefully i can figure out how to seperate the folders from the files from the code

wow theres alot of of stuff in that script, seems way too overly complicated.

I'm still very much a newbie where PHP is concerned and have no problem using other (OS) scripts to do the job ...

that said yes theres a lot of un-needed and repeated stuff in there ... but when I just want a pretty directory listing it does the job ... complete with pretty icon which my downloaders seem to like

Starlord

Lol, im not saying its not good, im just going for as simple as possible and just non pretty and functional have most of the file manager done
