How to add an index file to all subdirectories

[beary]

Hello all,

I've done something a bit stupid and am hoping some kind soul out there can help me out.

There's a piece of code that goes through and creates a high number of subdirectories within subdirectories, which is fine. Initially I forgot to create an index.html file in each directory to prevent viewing of its folders and files without people being logged in. I've fixed it now, but there are a whole heap of directories without this file.

Is there some piece of code which, if I specify the top directory, will go through and add the index file?

I have the code the add the file. I'm stuck on getting the code to go through all subdirectories within subdirectories etc. Here's what I have so far:

<?php
function addindex($dir)
{
if ($handle = opendir($dir))
{
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
 
            if(is_dir($dir.$file))
            {
                    $indexfile = $dir.$file."/index.html";
                    $filehandle = fopen($indexfile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
                    fclose($filehandle);
            }
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
}
addindex('mydir/');
?>

Wow ... could have saved my breath then. I apologize. We get a lot of newbie questions here and sometimes we just work in that mode and don't realize when a real programmer is asking. I do tend to be long winded. so...

I'll cut this short.

Good luck with your app and future advances!
