Hiding the display of index.php from dir file listing

Hi Php Masters,

How do I hide the display of index.php from Dir Files Listing ?

The php code in index.php is

PHP Code:


<?php

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
   echo "<ol>" ;
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
     
           echo "<b><li><a href='$file'>$file</a>   </li></b>\n";                          


            }         
             
   }
   echo "</ol>";
   $handle = fopen($file, "rb");
   $contents = fread($handle, filesize($file));
   fclose($handle);   
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

Thank you extremely much.

First of all... and this might be a typo, but I'm not sure of the !== operator in the while loop? I assume that you meant !=.

With regards to filtering out displaying the index.php file, you can simply add another && to your conditional if statement to exclude viewing the index.php files:

PHP Code:


if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php") {

That should do it.

so how do I know the number of files in the same dir ?

for example, if there are five files , then the code returns value of 5 .

thanks again.

Well... you can simply put a counter inside inside the if statement (that's in the while loop). If you want to count the index.php file (but not display it), you'll need to put that inside an embedded if statement within the other if statement... there you can count it as a file by incrementing the counter, but not display it.

Hope that helps.
