VIew files in directory with pagination - php

Question

I want to display files in my directory in browser. I know that this is possible using @opendir and readdir .. But what I want is to limit the numb

Answer 1

You could use scandir to read all the contents of the directory into an array. Then output the contents of the array based on the pagination value.

$offset = 10; //get this as input from the user, probably as a GET from a link
$quantity = 10; //number of items to display
$filelist = scandir('/mydir');

//get subset of file array
$selectedFiles = array_slice($filelist, $offset-1, $quantity);

//output appropriate items
foreach($selectedFiles as $file)
{
    echo '
'.$file.'
'; 
}
