XML

[billwatson]

Hi,
My knowledge of php is minimal

I have ben using this script to return the files in a folder to a flash file and what I need now is to have the php file either return the files as xml OR to create an xml file which i can then load into flash

php file

<?php

$maindir = $_POST["theDir"];
$mydir = opendir($maindir);
while(false !== ($file = readdir($mydir))){
    if(!is_dir($file)){
        $fileList[] = $file;
    }
}
closedir($mydir);

natsort($fileList);

$flash = "theFiles=";
foreach($fileList as $file){
    $flash .= urlencode($file)."#";
}

echo $flash;
?>

can anyone help ?

or point me to a good tutorial

thanks

what do you want your xml schema to look like?

Well the php file just returns a list of all files found in the directory so if it could be adapted to return this as xml something like <file>somePic.jpg</file> that would be great.

In some ways it be more useful if it actually created an xml file like that.

Hope this clears things up.
