I am trying to put this into a menu structure as follows.

<ul>
<li>
    <ul>
        TheBeautifulSouth
        <li>2-15 One Last Love Song.m4anum2</li>
        <li>2-16 Mirror.m4anum2</li>
        <li>2-17 One God.m4anum2</li>
        <li>2-18 Blackbird On the Wire (Radio Ed.m4anum2</li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li>
    <ul>
        dnb
        <li>03 Twerk feat. Yo Majesty (Sub Focus Remix).mp3num2</li>
        <li>21st Century (Feat. Cabbie)_Tantrum Desire_192.mp3num2</li>
        <li>Better Place_Dub Zero_192.mp3num2</li>
        <li>Body_Shot_Tantrum_Desire_192.mp3num2</li>
    </ul>
</li>

I am trying to use the php function strstr but can't figure it out. Here is my code:

 <ul>
        <li>list
            <ul>
                <?php foreach ($bucket_contents as $file){ 

       $fname = $file['name'];

       $list = strstr($fname, '/', true); ?>
                <li><?php echo $list; ?></li>
                <?php  } ?>
            </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>

Answer 1

If your variables have the values they should have (try a var_dump ), the only problem I can see, is your php version. Are you sure your server is running php 5.3?

Note that the third parameter in strstr is only available in php 5.3.

Answer 2

by using strstr($fname, '/', true);

you're actually telling php to return everything before the character "/". if you drop the "true", you'll receive everything from , including the "/" character.

you can do something like

$list = substr($fname, strpos($fname, "/") +1);
