Greetings,
I need to get a list of all files in a particular virtual directory on
a web site, such as - http://www.myServer.com/FileStore
I tried using the directory functions, but this doesn't work.
if($dirHandle = opendir("http://www.myServer.co m/FileStore/"))
{
while(false !== ($file = readdir($dirHan dle)))
{
print($file."<b r>");
}
}
closedir($handl e);
}
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Harold 3 20992

opendir is meant to be used on the same server on which the script is
running.
you can't just connect to any website folder on the internet and download
everything in it!!

Directory functions only work on local file systems, not
over HTTP. This is clearly spelled out in the PHP Manual.
Is there a way to do this?
Yes, but only under two conditions (both are required):
1. There is no directory index in the target directory, and
2. The HTTP server on the remote system is allowed to
provide the directory listing in response to a request
for the directory name.
In Apache, the name of the directory index is set by the
DirectoryIndex directive. To allow listing the contents
of the directory, you should specify the Options Indexes
directive.
Cheers,

Even with these two conditions met, how would the php script know what
the files are? Wouldnt the return result just be an HTML page with <a>
tags that may or may not be links to files?
The web server software "apache", "IIS", etc would each spit out the
directory listing differently. However, all in HTML.
I would have thought the only way to do this would be to an FTP server.

a) directories in the default website (obviously: YES)

Hello all,
I am a desktop programmer getting my feet wet on the web. I am trying to
build a .net website that will keep a set of local files synchronized with
a master set on the web.
Using a cookie I can keep track of when the user last synced and build a
file list in my asp.net code that displays which files need downloading.
Next I want to put a button on the page that will download all of the files

means but couldn't find any articles that tell me exactly what every
character means. I can figure out most of it, its only the first 12
characters where you see stuff like +rwx and so on that I am having trouble
with. Does anyone know of a website that explains in detail what all of the
values mean? Thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
