Sending an array ouput to an text file

[tasahmed]

Hello Friends,

I wrote a function which scans the current working directory and lists out details such as directory/file owner, permission etc. The output of this script can be viewing in the monitor when I give the command print_r which is printed out in a array format.

The problem I facing is I want this output in a text file, but I have tried so many things it is not working I am copying my code below, I need help in this urgently. Thanks for the help in advance.

Tas.

[php]
$d=getcwd();

function scan_directory_ recursively($di rectory, $filter=FALSE)
{
// if the path has a slash at the end we remove it here
if(substr($dire ctory,-1) == '/')

{
$directory = substr($directo ry,0,-1);
}

// if the path is not valid or is not a directory ...

if(!file_exists ($directory) || !is_dir($direct ory))

{
// ... we return false and exit the function
return FALSE;
// ... else if the path is readable
}

elseif(is_reada ble($directory) )

{
// we open the directory
$directory_list = opendir($direct ory);
// and scan through the items inside

while (FALSE !== ($file = readdir($direct ory_list)))

{

// if the filepointer is not the current directory

// or the parent directory

if($file != '.' && $file != '..')

Hi Ahemad,

You don't want to place the whole code into this forum, You can use many array function to write the values into the text file OR you can get many code libraries from the sites like phpclasses.org

Hello subhash,

Sorry,I did'nt see your post, now only I saw your post and hence the dely in answer,

As you can see in the above code I was trying to get the array output after the curly braces were closed, so I used fopen to open a new file and fwrite within the curly braces of each file listing and directory listing array and then it worked. If you have any doubts in this I will post the corrected code.

Cheers,
Ahmed
