Hello Guys,

This is more of a basic php question than a joomla quesion, but maybe others on here will find it usefull.

I'm working on a mod, I want the main page to list all of the folders with in a default folder, I have this working with this code:

Code:

<?php
  $scanthis = '.';
  $scanlisting = scandir($scanthis);
  $dirlisting = array();
  foreach($scanlisting as $key => $value){
    if (is_dir("$scanthis/$value") == true && $value != '.' && $value != '..'){
      $dirlisting[] = $value;
    }
  }
  foreach($dirlisting as $key => $value){
    print('<li><a href="' . $scanthis . '/' . $value . '">' . $value . "</a></li>");
  }
?>

I need the above code to ignore folders that start with a underscore?

So after doing a lot of google searching today, I found my answer, I hope others find this useful.
This code will list all folders within the set folder and ignore any folders starting with “.”, “..”, or “_”

Code:

<?php
  $scanthis = '.';
  $scanlisting = scandir($scanthis);
  $dirlisting = array();
  foreach($scanlisting as $key => $value){
    if (is_dir("$scanthis/$value") == true &&
   $value != '.' && 
   $value != '..'
   ){
      $dirlisting[] = $value;
    }
  }
  foreach($dirlisting as $key => $value){
  $folder = substr($value, 0,1);
  if (!($folder == "_")){
    print('<li><a href="' . $scanthis . '/' . $value . '">' . $value . "</a></li>");
   }
  }
?>
