Here's the situation. I created a program of sorts that allows the writer of our clubs newsletter to upload the newsletter each month to the "newsletter" folder. Then i have a php script that shows the content of the folder in an iframe on the home page so that users can download the .doc files.

The problem is that, with how the uploader php files are set up and the php directory displayer file is set up, i need to have them in the "newsletter" folder. Becouse of that, they show up in the directory listing for downloading. Does anyone know how to make the directory php script only show the .doc files and nothing esle??? This is the very last part of the program i'm building and i really need some expert advice on this. Is there a "if file is '.php', then hide this file" script i can add to the directory displaying script?

Please help. Thanks!

Filter it with if command:

$file = readdir(opendir('../newsletter/'))
// filter file
if(substr($file,-3,3) == "doc") {
  // you may want to display the filesize
  $fsize = filesize('../newsletter/' .$file);
  echo $file." (".round($fsize/1024,2)." KB)";
}

If you have more file types you want to display, you can use array to do it:

$file = readdir(opendir('../newsletter/'))
$ext = substr($file, -3, 3);
$accept = array('pdf','doc','xls','ppt','txt','zip');
if(in_array($ext, $accept)) {
 //display file ...
}

Thanks for your reply. Now this code you gave me will show the .doc files and hide the .php files correct?

Here is the entire script, can you show me where to implement your code? The initial code already displays file type, size, and date.

Thanks for your help!

If not mistaken, should be after this lot, and before print the values.

#ORDER ACCORDING TO ASCENDING OR DESCENDING AS REQUESTED
if($_REQUEST['order']=="desc" && $_REQUEST['sort']!="size") {$dirs = array_reverse($dirs);}
if($_REQUEST['order']=="desc") {$files = array_reverse($files);}
$dirs = @array_values($dirs); $files = @array_values($files);

Hey Zippee,

I inserted your code into the script and nothing changed. Is there any way you could try this script with your code in it and let me know what you find?

Thanks,

Curtis
