Listing Files and Directories with PHP
Listing all files and directories using PHP 5.
<?php
$files = array(); $dir = dir(".");
while(false!==($file=$dir->read())):
if(($file{0}!=".") && ($file{0}!="~") && (substr($file, -3)!="LCK")
&& ($file!=basename($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]))):
$files[$file] = stat($file); //
endif;
endwhile;
$dir->close(); ksort($files); ?>
<table border=1 cellpadding=5>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Size</th><th>Date</th></tr>
<?php foreach($files as $name => $stats): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php print $name;?></td>
<td><?php print $stats['size']; ?></td>
<td><?php print date("m-d-Y h:ia", $stats['mtime']); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?></table>
Reading, Writing, Removing Files and Directories in Ruby
These aren’t all of them, but I think they are some of the most useful.
# making a directory in another directory that doesn't yet exist...
FileUtils.mkdir_p '/path/to/your/directory/that/doesnt/exist/yet'
# recursively remove a directory and the contents
FileUtils.rm_rf("/path/to/directory/you/want/to/delete")
# write a file from the contents of another file...
File.open("/path/to/the/file.ext", "wb") {|f| f.write(@your_other_file.read)}
