Need help

Hi all,

I am new in php and I need help. I have a web-site which contains .pdf files. Every week I add a .pdf file and at the moment I update the site manually (go to the source code and change the source names etc). I would like to ask if there is any way, for the site to be updated automatically. e.g. When I add the .pdf file in the directory, the site will be automatically updated with the specific .pdf file. Is there any script that I can create in order to do that. Thanks a lot in advance. If you need more info of what i want to do or if somethink is uncleared pls let me know.


Thanks

Something like this might help. It should be at least enough to get you started.

$myDir = opendir("./");
while(false !== ($tmpstring = readdir($myDir)))
	{
		$dirlisting[$i] = $tmpstring;
                $i=$i+1;
	}
arsort($dirlisting);
while(list($key,$fileName) = each($dirlisting))
{
if (($fileName != ".")&&($fileName != ".."))
 echo '<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/pdfs/'.$fileName.'">'.$filename.'</a>';
}

PHP:

 

nevetS,

Any preference in using:

while(list($key,$fileName) = each($dirlisting))

Code (markup):

And not:

foreach ( $dirlisting as $key => $fileName )

Code (markup):

Just curious... I usually use the second, as I belive (maybe I'm wrong) that it is less overhead. Less function calls. Or do you think when the code is parsed, it would execute the same amount of instructions to do either?

 

I never put much thought into it. I use either on occasion. I'm pretty sure I grabbed this code from someone else a couple of years ago.
