Spaces to display levels in dir structure list ?

Peuplarchie · 04-13-2009, 04:19 PM

Good day to you all,

working on listing a directory the way I want, I'm trying that for each level of file there is a number of spaces in front of the file and/or folder of that level. EX :

Folder 1
--Folder 2
--Image 1
--Image 2
--Image 3
Image 1
Image 2

How can I add that spacing on each level ?

Here is my code :

PHP Code:


			


<?php

$directory = "Art/";
function dirList ($directory)
{

    //create 2 arrays - one for folders and one for files
   $folders = array();
   $files = array();

    // create a handler for the directory
    $handler = opendir($directory);

    // keep going until all files in directory have been read
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handler))) {  

        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
        // add it to the results array
        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
        
        // If file is directory, mark it in bold.
       if(is_dir($directory.$file)) { 
        array_push($folders,$file);
        
        // Else not styled
        }else{
        array_push($files,$file);
        
    }
    }


    // tidy up: close the handler
    closedir($handler);

    foreach($folders as $folder) {
      echo "<strong>".$folder."</strong>  <a href=\"javascript:show('".$folder."');\">Show</a>- <a href=\"javascript:hide('".$folder."');\">Hide</a><br />";
        
echo "<div id=\"".$folder."\">";
dirList($directory.$folder.'/');

echo "<br/><br/></div>";
    
    
    }

    foreach($files as $file) {
      echo $file."<br />";
    }
    

}

dirList($directory);

?>

Thanks !

Make it so that it generates the HTML so it looks something like this:

Code:

<ul>
  <li>file</li>
  <li>dir<ul>
    <li>file</li>
    <li>file</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>file</li>
  <li>file</li>
</ul>

It's really more of a HTML/CSS issue than a PHP one

Separate your concerns.

Fetch a hierarchical list of files/folders.
Display that list however you want.

You seem to have many posts/threads asking pretty much the same thing, yet always revert back to the same basic code. Are you listening and taking note of replies to your threads?

I'm learning with many examples and trying to see the different way of coding.

I'm it could look as such, i'm soo a bit too.
