    Create PHP pages from list of files in directory

    Hello, this is probably easy for a php pro... but I cant figure it
    out..

    I have a directory of mp3 files named like this.
    Chevy_Car_Comme rcial.mp3

    There are about 150 files.

    I am trying to find a script that will make php pages based on the file
    names.
    chevy_car_comme rcial.php

    And also dump that variable title
    Chevy Car Commercial into the <title> of the web page...

    I have made dynamic pages before... but that was using a form..

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks
    kj

      Using PHP 4.3 or better? Then you could try the following script:

      <?php

      $ext = 'mp3';
      $path = '/path/to/*.mpeg';
      $outdir = '.';

      $glob = glob($path);
      foreach ($glob as $file) {
      $file = basename($file) ;
      $fname_noext = preg_replace("/\.$ext$/", '', $file);
      $title = ucwords(str_rep lace('_', ' ', $fname_noext));
      $fname = $outdir . '/' . strtolower($fna me_noext) . '.php';
      $html = "<html>\n\t<hea d>\n\t\t<title> $title</title>\n\t";
      $html .= "</head>\n\t<body> </body>\n</html>";
      if (!$fp = @fopen($fname, 'w')) {
      print "Unable to create $fname. ";
      print "Please check the permissions of '$outdir'\n";
      continue;
      } else {
      fputs($fp, $html);
      fclose($fp);
      print "Successful ly created $fname\n";
      }
      }

      ?>

      When using PHP v < 4.3, replace the call to the glob function with
      opendir/readdir (see the manual).

          This should be:

          $path = '/path/to/*.mp3';

              Re: Create PHP pages from list of files in directory

              Thank you so much! That works! It made the pages perfectly.
              I thought I would just be able to include my template page in there but
              that does not work.

              I was putting this where you have the $html variables

              $html = "include ("template.php" )";

              I even tried it with the php tags but no dice...

              anyone know how to get my page into that $html variable.

              thanks again.

                      Replacing:

                      $html = "<html>\n\t<hea d>\n\t\t<title> $title</title>\n\t";
                      $html .= "</head>\n\t<body> </body>\n</html>";

                      With:

                      ob_start();
                      include 'template.php';
                      $html = ob_get_contents ();
                      ob_end_clean();

                      Should get you close. Mind that all variables you want to use within
                      template.php should be created and assigned before the template file is
                      included.
