PHP File Indexer by DJeX on 03-01-2005 at 12:42 AM

How could I take this code and output the result to a txt file on the server?

code:
<?php
$maindir = "." ;
$mydir = opendir($maindir) ;
$exclude = array( "index.php") ;
while($fn = readdir($mydir)) { if ($fn == $exclude[0] || $fn == $exclude[1]) continue;
echo "<br><a href='$fn'>$fn</a>"; } closedir($mydir);
?>

What it does is it lists all the files in that folder that the indexer.php is in.
So how would I take that list and put it in a txt file?

If any one knows of a simpler or better way of outputting all the file names and the links to them in a txt file on the server please feel free to post it.

You can use the output buffer functions. :o

Just before the while(), put ob_start() and in the end of the loop, put $tofile = ob_get_contents();

And that goes to the file. You know, fopen() and fwrite()?

:P I'm feeling lazy, sorry.

code:
ob_start();
// while loop
$text = ob_get_contents();
$op = fopen($file,'w'); // or 'a' if you want to append it
fwrite($op, $text);
fclose($op);

I find that easier than putting variables all over the place.

how about putting fopen at the start,
fclose at the end, and replace the echo by fwrite?

Ive tryed this code

code:
<?php
$maindir = "." ;
$mydir = opendir($maindir) ;
$exclude = array( "index.php") ;
while($fn = readdir($mydir)) { if ($fn == $exclude[0] || $fn == $exclude[1]) continue;
$file = fopen("file.txt","w");
fwrite($file,"<br><a href='$fn'>$fn</a>"); } closedir($mydir);
fclose($file);
?>

But alls it wrote in the txt was:

code:
<br><a href='indexer.php'>indexer.php</a>

put the fopen BEFORE the while!
