Answer 1

Like so:...

<?php
/*********************************************************

* AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!, You can copy it to your server *
* WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARRANTY! *
* written by Ronen Gil *
*********************************************************/
function dirsearch($file)
{
if (is_dir($file))
{
echo "in " . $file . ":<br />";
$res = scandir($file);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($res); $i++)
{
echo "[" . $i . "]&nbsp;&nbsp;";
if ($i < 10)
{
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
elseif ($i < 100)
{
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
else
{
echo "&nbsp;";
}
echo $res[$i] . "<br />";
}
echo "<br />";
for ($i = 2; $i < count($res); $i++)
{
dirsearch($file . "/" . $res[$i]);
}
}
}
dirseach('YourDirName');
?>

SP coder Your search engine can not be the scandir() function itself, but it should be a recursive function that calls scandir() and examines each result with is_dir() http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php and if the filename is a directory - to call your function again... That is to say that scandir() is not recursive. It doesn't check sub-dirs... But your search engine can do it...

Answer 3

You can start by reviewing the output of scandir() - you should search within this output...

http://php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php

Be aware, that this is the server's directory and not the Client's - since PHP is a server based language...

Answer 4

I agree you Ronen Gil
I know that.

But "scandir('directory-Path')" is not enough for scanning sub-directories too.

Did you got what I meant to say?

I hope I will get my best answer.
