Grabbing all of the files in a directory 1

[cyprus106]

I've actually got no experience at PHP, (I've always used ASP) but the server I'm on only uses PHP so I'm really in dire need of some help!

I need to grab all of the names of files in a certain directory, and package the results into an XML document. I have no idea how to go about doing this. It's worth a star!


The help, as always, is very much appreciated!

The Grabbing should be fairly simple:

Either use GLOB, or Opendir and readdir Functions to get the directory contents.


Then using fopen and fwrite just write the produced output into a file. Adding any and all XML info you might need.

Is there anywhere I can find the code for this? Because like I said, I know as much as <% and %> and that's about it!

I know as much as <% and %>

that's asp. are you in the right forum?

php uses

<?php ... ?>

for all function references see

http://www.php.net

I linked you to the php manual pages for each function. In there there is plenty of example code for how to use the functions.

Your welcome, if you need help on specifics when trying to implement it, then by all means ask away.
