Reading a directory

[okrogius]

What function would I use to read the name of all files and their sizes in a certain directory and output that onto a page?

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
    echo "Files:";
    echo "<table>";

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>", $file, filesize($file));
    }

    echo "</table>";
    closedir($handle); 
}
?>

First I got an accessd denied but a chmod edit fixed that.

Here's are the results though. Not exactly what I want.

Warning: stat failed for site_db_backup.sql (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/cgshock/public_html/admincp/backup.php on line 20
 site_db_backup.sql  
.htaccess 69 

Warning: stat failed for boards_db_backup.sql (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/cgshock/public_html/admincp/backup.php on line 20
 boards_db_backup.sql 

. 4096 
.. 4096 
site_db_backup.sql  
.htaccess 69 
boards_db_backup.sql 

Plus I don't want this to list files such as htaccess.

Oops... had one small mistake... ;-)

<?php
$path = '/path/to/files';
if($dir = opendir($path)) {
    echo "Files in $path:";
    echo "<table>";

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) { 
        printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>", $file, filesize("$path/$file"));
    }

    echo "</table>";
    closedir($dir); 
}
?>

Works great, but only one thing. How would I take out the ".", "..", and any files that begin with a dot (such as htaccess) from the results?

Since I'm planning to store files of only one type in a dir perhaps do some sort of a filter to only display .SQLs?

Also how can I change the file size to be displayed in kbs instead of bytes?

<?php
$path = '/path/to/files';
if($dir = opendir($path)) {
    echo "Files in $path:";
    echo "<table>";

    while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
        if (!preg_match('/\.\.?$/', $file))
            printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>", $file, filesize("$path/$file"));
    }

    echo "</table>";
    closedir($dir); 
}
?>

the line

if (!preg_match('/\.\.?$/', $file))

ignores the "." and ".." entry.

if you want to list just those files with a specific extension use this line instead of the if (!...)

if (preg_match('/\.(sql|php|inc)$/i', $file))

You can list other extension inside the brackets, just separate them with a pipe "|".
