As part of learning php I have set up an automated directory/file listing
process.
On my server I have a directory called 'Notes' and under that a dozen or
so dub-directories on various topics, each containing a mix of html and
mht files.
In the Notes directory I have a php script which echoes links to each sub
directory (excluding . and ..) and incorporates a link to a file
'index.php' in each sub directory.
In turn index.php echoes the html/mht files along with a link to them.
This means that I can add/remove directories and files and they will
automatically be included in my browser, as long as I remember to copy
index.php to each new directory.
I want to change this slightly so that clicking on a link in Notes.php
will write a file called index.html to the selected sub directory and then
navigate to it. This avoids having to copy index.php to each sub directory.
I am OK with most of it except how to switch to the index.html file from a
php file. I read a comment somewhere that php is not html so doesn't
recognise links so is there a way to switch to a specified file in a
browser from a php script please? Having re-read this I need a process
that can call a function then activate a link to index.html in the
appropriate directory.
Many thanks.

I think you are looking for the header() function

IF the file extension is .html then it would be a plain HTML file that us
sent
as-is. If you didn't need any PHP code in the index pages you are creating
in
those directories, it would make sense to simply use the .html version .
Many thanks Captain P and Tom, I will investigate the header() function.
In the meantime I have taken a slightly different approach. I have
book-marked CreateIndexFile s.php as my entry point to my notes files. The
script then creates an index.html file in each sub-directory and echoes a
link to each of those index files. This means if I add/delete a directory
or file then I just navigate to the bookmark, hit Ctrl+F5 and it gets
re-built automagically.
If anybody has any other suggestions as to how to achieve this I would be
happy to try them as part of my learning process :-)

What Im trying to do is something I would have thought would be quite
common, but there just seems to be no information on the topic that I can
find. Basically I need to store a directory structure in memory, from a flat
list of files and paths. ie given:

when creating a project with namespace like:
wrox.csharp.basics.overflowtest
is it good practice to have the directory structure like that also:
c:\wrox\csharp\basics\overflowtext.cs
Also if it is then is there a way to make visual studio set it up for
me as i'm creating the cs files? or do i have to first create the
directory structures and then as i save files save them in the correct
places depending on the namespace i create.

Hi,
"Snif" is an excellent little script to index files and directories.
It's just one single file, and the advantage is that you merely drop it
into the directory you want to index, point a browser to the script and
you're done.
But to me, the simplicity is a DISadvantage since I need to index
directories that are located down in the site hierarcy, and to which the
users won't have direct access.

I have a bit of a problem with regards an indexing strategy. Well,
basically there is no indexing strategy on a set of data I have at

OK, so there is primary key (clustered) indexes (mainly composite

performance leaves a lot to be desired. A hell of a lot. We have
