Hmm...not entirely, but it sort of sounds like maybe you just need an in_array() call?
?@NogDogNov 06.2017 — #The in_array() will just be a string comparison in this case, so if you need fuzzier logic, then you'll need to account for it, as basename() just strips off any directory portion so that it's only the file name. You could make a little function to strip off any suffix, I suppose. Then you'd need to apply it both to each of the array value, as well as the file name being tested.

directory search and display
this is my website page of diplaying data from file. [URL=”http://titan.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~mzacha02/p1tma/index.php”]http://titan.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~mzacha02/p1tma/index.php
I need to know how do I change the file name if the file is different and it will display on the first line the correct file name. I have tried to use foreach loop because all files I have stored in the array. But then I don’t know how to match the file that is open inside of that array that will display the correct name of the file.
thanks regards marcellio
this is function that return array of files
[code=php]
function Dir_file(){
$file_names = array();
$new_file = opendir(‘data’);
while(false !== ($file = readdir($new_file))){
#below is required to ignore the . and .. N.B. you need to give full path
#week 2 slide 8 to revise array sysntax
if (is_file(‘data/’ . $file)) {
$file_names[] = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_BASENAME); #use this to get only the file name with no extension
}
}
return $file_names;
}
this is the first box that shows on the page file name; module, tutor and date.
[code=php]
function Module_Header($file_names){
//Checking if the file exist
if (file_exists(‘data/p1IH.txt’)) {
//If exists open file
$handle = fopen(‘data/p1IH.txt’,’r’);
if ($handle) {
$name = fgets($handle, 1024);
$details = explode(‘,’, $name);
echo ‘<p>File name: ‘ . $file_names[1] . ‘</p>’;
//Initialize variables and store our validation then check if is correct
$a = $details[0];
$b = $details[3];
$module = ValidModuleCode($a);
$date = ValidDate($b);
if ( $module == false ){
echo ‘<p>Module Code : ‘ . $details[0] . ‘ : ERROR’ . ‘</p>’;
} else{
echo ‘<p>Module Code : ‘ . $details[0] . ‘</p>’;
}
if ( ctype_alpha($details[1]) ){
echo ‘<p>Module Title : ‘ . $details[1] .'</p>’;
} else{
echo ‘<p>Module Title : ‘ . $details[1] . ‘ERROR’ . ‘</p>’;
}
if ( ctype_alpha($details[2]) ){
echo ‘<p>Tutor : ‘ . $details[2] .'</p>’;
} else{
echo ‘<p>Tutor : ‘ . $details[2] . ‘ERROR’ . ‘</p>’;
}
if ( $date == false){
echo ‘<p>Marked date : ‘ . $details[3] . ‘ERROR’ . ‘</p>’;
} else{
echo ‘<p>Marked date : ‘ . $details[3] . ‘</p>’;
}
}
else {
echo ‘<p>’ . $file_names[0] . ‘.txt – error openning file!</p>’;
}
fclose($handle);
}
else {
echo ‘<p>’ . $file_names[0] . ‘.txt – file not found!</p>’;
}
}

@NogDogNov 06.2017 — #In that dir_files function I have stored all files what are in the directory. In function module_header ignore that echo file name calling out file_names[0] because that is just temporary output.
I need now for each loop that will go through the $file_names and to display only one name of the file if is match with .txt and if is the correct file.
When I change the path of the file on the top to different file it must match the file and display the name of the file. Does that make a sense.[/QUOTE]

[code=php]
if(in_array(basename($file_name), $file_names)) {
// match found
}
else {
// no match found
}
