want foldername and full filename in the hyperlink

Using php, I want to list all the filenames in a folder as hyperlinks

folder
<a href="file1.wmv" target="_blank">file1.wmv</a>
<a href="file2.wmv" target="_blank">file2.wmv</a>
<a href="file3.wmv" target="_blank">file3.wmv</a>

<?php 
$folder    = '.';
$files = scandir($folder);

foreach ($files as $file):
	printf("<p><a href='%s' target='_blank'>%s</p>",$file, $file);
endforeach;
?>

Open in new window

This code does not include foldername and does not work for filename with spaces (only includes the filename before the space

00 01.filename with spaces.wmv

00 02.another filename with spaces.wmv

Suggestion from the voice of experience... Never leave a blank in a file name. Use letters, numbers and the underscore, nothing else, and you will save yourself from a lot of strange "edge case" headaches!

Yeah, that's part of what's wrong with the Obamacare web site!

first.: I see
+ instead of space (which I think is %20%)

second:
the 'folder is not in the url'
which would force me to put the file in the directory

I want to put the file outside the directory
(I am not sure if I asked for this, so this may be another question.)

Ray Paseur

+ is a URL-Encoded space. Can also be %20.

I may be able to give you a general purpose example later -- gotta run now.

+ in browser url does not work for me

Please post the SSCCE that demonstrates the issue, thanks.

Thanks for the url encode which is the requirement of the question.
