Question

How can I use PHP to automatically create an archive page with drop down menu linking to HTML files from a folder?

Asked by: rapidpictures

Hi,

I have already had assitance creating php code to display pages based on the date, using convetion 'day_month_year.html', e.g. 22_09_2009.html
(thanks Silhouette!)

see http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Authoring/Q_24746809.html

NB fitness instructor wishes to prepare daily / weekly fitness programmes in advance, so that a folder with a years worth of content can be pre uploaded, thus reducing admin.

I would like to take this further and have an archive page with a drop down menu which automatically populates with any existing files up to and including today's date, specifically any files whose name is later than today's date would not be displayed.
folder full of files
01_09_2009.html
11_09_2009.html
18_09_2009.html
29_09_2009.html
10_10_2009.html
22_10_2009.html
etc

So, given that today is the 22nd September 2009 all files up to including 18_09_2009.html will populate a dropdown menu.

This page is being intergrated in to a private members area, using phpAMA. php AMA has a main page with a dropdown menu for any pages uploaded to a specific folder.

I would like to emulate this on the archive page.

So I'm looking for php to search a folder for files named up to and including today's date, then present them as a dropdown menu on the archive page. The drop down navigation needs to be maintained when a page is selected.

Many thanks,

Owen

	$currDate = strtotime("-1 day",$currDate);

	echo "error";
}

Hi,

If I was to handle the problem, I would in fact name the files 2009_09_25.html, because then comparing filenames will be a very simple way to sort files / dates.

With your actual naming convention, it is of course possible but just needs additional processing.
This processing relies on 2 items:
- use Ksort instead of sort, so that the array is sorted along its keys and not along its values: using values would find that 30-08-2009 > 01-09-2009 which is not what you want
- and so you need to place the right key into the array the_files.

The key generation from filenames could be done with a regexp, but I just wanted the program to be simple to inspect.

<?php // code to auto load files based on name and date
$folder = "weekly_content/";
$maxDays = 30;  
$currDate = mktime();
$counter = 0;
/* //commented out for debugging without the files
do {
	$file = $folder .date("d_m_Y",$currDate). ".html";
	$currDate = strtotime("-1 day",$currDate);
}
while(!file_exists($file) && $counter++ < $maxDays);
 
	if($counter > $maxDays) {
	echo "error";
}
else {
	include($file);
} */
?>
<?php
// small program tp generate file names and debug the other programs
$nb_data = 35;
$currDate= mktime();
$data=array();
for ($counter=0;$counter < $nb_data; $counter++){
	$data[]= date("d_m_Y",$currDate) . '.html';
	$currDate = strtotime("-1 day",$currDate);
} 
echo "*** Initial data: "; print_r($data);echo "<hr>";
// Let's randomize a bit to be sure that the next program will work fine
for ($counter=1;$counter < $nb_data; $counter++){
	$i=rand(0,$counter); 
	// swap the two data
	$tmp=$data[$i];$data[$i]=$data[$counter-1];$data[$counter-1]=$tmp;
} 
 
 
echo "*** Randomized data: "; print_r($data);echo "<hr>";
 
?>
<?php
// the code used by phpAMA to find files in a folder that I need to modify to find files named up to today's date only. These become available in a dropdown menu (ideally omitting the '.html'). It would be great to have this as navigation added to the top of each page! Thanks.
/* $handle = opendir('content/');
$i=0;
while($item=readdir($handle))
{
 $the_files[$i]=$item;
 $i++;
} */
$the_files=array();
while (list (, $item) = each ($data)) { // generating a sortable string from date: YMD
	$tmp=explode('.',$item);
	$the_date=explode('_',$tmp[0]);
	$key=$the_date[2].$the_date[1].$the_date[0]; 
	$the_files[$key]=$item;
}
echo "*** unsorted files: "; print_r($the_files);echo "<hr>";
 
ksort ($the_files, SORT_STRING); //using k-sort with the right keys...
reset ($the_files);
 
while (list ($key, $item) = each ($the_files))
{
 if (((ereg(".html",$item)>0)||(ereg(".html",$item)>0)||(ereg(".php",$item)>0))AND($item!=INITIAL_PAGE)AND($item[0]!="_"))
 {
  $item_array=explode(".",$item);
  echo "<option value=\"$item\">$item_array[0]</option><br>";
 }
}

Hi fibo,

It's going to take a while for me to get my head around this.
In the meantime:
http://www.rjsfitness.co.uk/fibo.php

returns the following.

I still need of course the drop down menu.

I know I'm asking a lot, but as a graphic designer I'm blown away by how powerful php (and code in general) can be.

You guys are awesome.

So what next?

Very gratefully,

Owen

Of course, once you feel comforable with code, just // comment the debugging printouts, so that you just have the options list.

My code to generate filenames and randomize them can be removed when you port it to your server where you will find real filenames.

Hi Fibo,

I have about 2 days experience with php so I'm grateful for your patience.

The author of phpAMA has granted me permission to link to and quote his code.

I'm struggling with implementing your changes and dropping it into the following which I hope should provide a drop down menu which populates as previously discussed.

The auto menu code is from:

Select all Open in new window

Some comments on this code:
- note that for line 20 to work you need to have no blank line or space charcater before <?php
- your real html code strats at line 24. Maybe some usual html tags would be needed before <center> if you hace some problems with css standards
- would probably not use $i at lines 41 44 45

$handle = opendir('content/');
while($item=readdir($handle))
{
      $tmp=explode('.',$item);
      $the_date=explode('_',$tmp[0]);
      $key=$the_date[2].$the_date[1].$the_date[0];
      $the_files[$key]=$item;
}
ksort ($the_files, SORT_STRING); // This NEEDS to be KSORT, not SORT

Hi Fibo,

I feel so out of my depth, you could be talking chinese.

I think I'm looking for a working peice of code I can copy and paste, I've tried modifying all of the above but end up with a useless dropdown with nothing in it!

I need help!

Thanks,

Owen

Hi Owen
Please make the changes I suggested. Are there files in the directory?
Then it should work BUT yoiu are supposed to maje the changes as I suggested.
Make the changes exactly as I suggested.
What is the result?? You should not have no files, you shoumld have up to 30 of them. Ideally they woulod be sorted, but first you want them

If the form displays fine all the options, then selecting the option should generate the action you want.

Hi Fibo,

Please do not be offended my low IQ and lack of experience with coding has meant that I can not follow the changes you suggest - it's highly likely your solution was right but I have had to repost more clearly, a better explained question.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/PHP_Databases/Q_24756148.html#a25407874

The solution provided simply allows me to copy and paste, working first time.

To be honest I was lost from the moment I had to comment out the debugging options.

Sorry, and many sincere thanks for your effort.

Owen

My lack of knowledge made your kind suggestions / tutoring difficult to follow

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/PHP_Databases/Q_24756148.html#a25407874

works as a copy and paste solution which at my basic level works very well.

by: fiboPosted on 2009-09-23 at 16:31:00ID: 25408988

B-) Thx for the grade and points.
Sorry I did not understand the problem with code changes.
