Custom directory viewer (php)

Question

I started a little project a few days ago, a directory viewer . (Not a redesigned htaccess thing.)

It's written in PHP and works great except for a few little things.

I have one file ( masterfile ) where all parts of the viewer (css, php, ..) come together and build the final viewer. Whenever you access a directory without an index.php , index.html , etc. in it, you should end up in this masterfile and see your directory (-content).

Example: example.com/css/ => You're in css dir => Show custom dir viewer (css folder)

Idea: Disable .htaccess indexing which produces an 403 error, redirect this error to masterfile.

Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /masterfile.php

This does work, however it lists the content of the masterfile directory and not the content from original folder (example: /css/ ) Ideas?

Possible solution (I don't like): Put a file, that includes this "masterfile", in EVERY directory and name it index.php

I hope you guys have some ideas, I appreciate any help!

Answer 1

You can put something like this at the top of masterfile.php :

$parsed = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$files = scandir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$parsed['path']);

maybe with some adjustment depending of your server configuration. The parse_url stuff is to remove eventual GET and/or segments.
