how to find files

[bruno storz]

Hit here,

I am looking for an example how to select a or several files.

I have a directory with a bunch of files. Now I want to use a form which
allows me to enter some words which will be used to select files containing
those words.

Do you have any idea?

Regards
Bruno

grep


1. get the words into an array
2. grep foreach word in the files in the directory
3. show results

#v+

<?php
$filespec = '/var/www/htdocs/datadir/*';

// 1
$words = array('word1', 'word2');

// 2
$oneword = '';
foreach ($words as $word) {
$oneword .= `grep -li $word $filespec`;
}
$oneword = explode("\n", $oneword);
$files = array_count_val ues($oneword);

// 3
foreach ($files as $file+>$dummy) {
echo $file, "<br/>\n";
}
?>
