Newbie needs help

[tyrannus]

Hey all, I am a newcomer to PHP but have a need for something and no idea where to start.. What I want to do is write a script that will search through a folder, pull out the file names and store them in a mysql database. I heard it was possible for PHP to do this I just have no clue where to start... Once I get started I can probably figure out the rest

You need to have a look at php.net documentation
specially the following

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php

The page has an example as how to open and read directory.


For Mysql insert operation have a look at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

You need to combine those codes to make the whole application. But this can get you going.
