selecting filename from directory

[danielagaba]

hi

a piece of code i have requires a files location and name for it to retrieve its content. instead of hard coding it i would like to simply have a window open that enables me to select it from my directory. is there a way i can do this using php?

thanks

Perhaps google a bit? You can read a directory easily using PHP:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php

~G

<?php
$dir = "../dani/";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
		if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
				echo "<a href=\"../dani/" . $file . "\">" . $file . "</a><br>"; 
		}
	} 
}
	closedir($handle); 
?>
