How to write a PHP coding to list out all files and directories as links to them?
Q. How to write a PHP coding to list out all files and directories as links to them? This is somewhat similar to some index pages. When new file or folder is added to the directory, HTML page should display the newly created file/folder together with previous ones after it is being refreshed.

A. // get array of all files and directories in the current directory (it is sorted alphabetically by default) $dir_entries = scandir(dirname(__FILE__) ); // for PHP 5.3+, use __DIR__ instead of dirname(__FILE__) // split the array of files and directories into two arrays, one containing files and the other directories $dir_files = array(); $dir_directories = array(); foreach($dir_entries as $dir_entry) { if(is_dir($dir_entry)) { array_push($dir_directori es, $dir_entry); } else { array_push($dir_files, $dir_entry); } } // print directories foreach($dir_directories as $dir_directory) { // don't print current and parent directories if($dir_directory == '.' or $dir_directory == '..') { continue; } echo "[cont.]

Is it legal for a hotel to modify Yellow Pages directories available to their guests?
Q. Is it legal for the management of a hotel to remove an entire section of advertising from each and every Yellow Pages directory placed in their guest rooms simply because the management of the hotel does not like the (totally legal) service being advertiseed? In this case, it's the Escort Services ads that they've removed, but it might just as well be tattoo parlours, abortion services, divorce lawyers, gun dealers, mosques -- can the management of a hotel that accepts and makes available Yellow Pages directories modify them before making them available to their guests? And if so, do they have an obligation to inform their guests of this prior to or at the time of booking?

A. Yes it is legal. The hotel management could just not put the directory in the room, if they so choose.

A. You require too much control over the client machine - the only way to do it is via an Applet or AcitveX control. _
