Question

I’ve got the code

$directory = "C:/My file path";
$phpfiles = glob($directory . "*.html");

foreach($phpfiles as $phpfiles)
{
echo $phpfiles;
}

But how would I change it so that it doesn’t just list the files, but actually links to them?

Answer 1

First of all, don’t use same variable names at foreach(). You can link to files, like this.

foreach($phpfiles as $phpfile)
{
echo "<a href=$phpfile>".basename($phpfile)."</a>";
}

$phpfile containing full path of file (for example : /home/eray/Desktop/test.html)

basename() is returning just file name from path . basename($phpfile)‘s output is test.html . If you want to print just test (without .html extension) , you can use this : basename($phpfile, ".html") Thanks, @aSeptik.
