Displaying filenames as Hyperlinks on a page?

[circuit_breaker]

Hi,

I'd like to write a loop that will create a hyperlink on a page for
every single file on a directory. As an example, if my directory
contains:

test.txt
test1.txt
test2.txt,

The page should then contain 3 hyperlinks pointing to these files and
the user just have to click the one he wants to download or read.

Thanks.

<?php
$directory_name = "dir"; // change this to reflect your directory name
$dh = opendir($direct ory_name);
while ($file = readdir($dh)) {
if (is_dir("$direc tory_name/$file")) {
continue;
}
print "<a href=\"$directo ry_name/$file\">$file</a><br>\n";
}
closedir($dh);
?>

Until you have a file called '0', of course.

while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {

you're right, i forgot about that...

another way to redo that line is:

while (!is_bool($file = readdir($dh))) {

because readdir() returns false when there are no more files

Or, perhaps a bit more clearly,
while(($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)

There's an echo in here ;-) See the post he replied to but snipped ;-)
