Code: Select all

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//simple array///////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$simple_array = array('one','two','three');
echo "<pre>";//to view the shape with a better format
print_r ($simple_array);//will output this simple array
echo "</pre><br>";
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$my_array = array(   'colors' => 'red',
               'fruits' => 'apple',
               'hair'   => 'curly'
               );

From manual ls:

Code: Select all

function GetDirArray($sPath)
{
//Load Directory Into Array
$handle=opendir($sPath);
while ($file = readdir($handle))
{
        $retVal[count($retVal)] = $file;
}
//Clean up and sort
closedir($handle); 
sort($retVal);
//return $retVal;

while (list($key, $val) = each($retVal))
{
if ($val != "." && $val != "..")
{ 
        $path = str_replace("//","/",$sPath.$val);
        echo "$path
";
        if (is_dir($sPath.$val))
        {
        GetDirArray($sPath.$val."/");
        }
    }
}
}
