Display dynamic list of files in frame

[Defey]

Input from my website visitors is added as a single line to a logfile ("$customer.log") upon each visit. Input from a new visitor would generate a new logfile that would then be appended upon each subsequent visit. I have a logfile administration page where I want all the logfiles displayed in the left frame, and then upon clicking a filename, the lines of content are displayed in the right frame. I am doing this now, but I am hardcoding the file list and I don't know how to make the list of $customer.log files dynamically show new files as new visitors start their logs. Thanks.

You would probably want to list the directory contents where all your log files reside.

This might work for you:

<?php


// initialize counter
$count = 0;

// set directory name
$dir = "./";

// open directory and parse file list
if (is_dir($dir))
{
if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
// iterate over file list
// print filenames
while (($filename = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
if (($filename != ".") && ($filename != ".."))
{
$count ++;
echo $dir . "/" . $filename . "\n";
}
}
// close directory
closedir($dh);
}
}

echo "-- $count FILES FOUND --";

?>

This will echo out every file in the preestablished directory. ./ is the current directory where the php file thats running resides.

Hope this helps
