Hi, thanks for all your help today.
I have the following code and I am trying to order the output. Currently it
seems really random. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
<?php
$dir = "content/current/breaking_news/";
// set pattern
$pattern = ".txt*|.TXT*";
// open directory and parse file list
if (is_dir($dir))
{
if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
//This is the div that contains the wrap around for the breaking news
section.
echo "
<div class=\"spstory\" style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, Times,
serif; font-size: 12px; width: 290px;\">
<div style=\"width: 285px; background-color: #FFFFCC; padding:
3px;\">
<span class=\"NormalHeadRed\">Breaking News</span>
<br />Please check here often for breaking news stories.
</div>
<p />
<span class=\"NomalText\">
<ul>";
// iterate over file list
while (($filename = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
// if filename matches search pattern, print it
if (ereg($pattern, $filename))
if(strpos($filename,'.')>0)
{
$fh = fopen("$dir" . "$filename", "r");
$filehead = fgets($fh);
fclose($fh);
echo "
<li class=\"bn_bullet\">
<a href=\"/breaking_news/$filename\">$filehead</a>
</li>";
}
}
echo "
</ul><p />
</span>
</div>";
// close directory
closedir($dh);
}
}
?>
Thank you,

A cut down version of what you are trying to do, I think.
<?php
$dir = "../../";
// set pattern
$allowed_ftypes = array('php','txt','TXT');
// open directory and parse file list
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ( ($files = glob($dir.'*') ) !== false ) {
// This is the div that contains the wrap around for the breaking news
// section.
echo '<div>
Breaking News<br />
Please check here often for breaking news stories.
<p>
<span class="NomalText">
<ul>';
// iterate over file list
foreach ( $files AS $file ) {
// if filename matches search pattern, print it
if ( in_array(array_pop(explode('.', $file) ), $allowed_ftypes ) ) {
// Open file for reading
if ( ( $fh = fopen($file, "r") ) !== false ) {
// Get the first line of the file
$filehead = fgets($fh);
// Extract file name for link
$filename = array_pop(explode('/', $file));
// Display Link
echo '<li><a href="/breaking_news/'.$filename.'">'.
htmlspecialchars($filehead).'</a></li>';
fclose($fh);
}
}
}
echo '</ul></p></span></div>';
}
}
?>
