Menu Builder Script

[Philippine Beach Resorts Blog]

i came across this script but i cant seem to make it work.

Code:

<?php
$x - function_name();
function function_name()
{
    // ==== Configuration section =========================================
    $directory_to_read = '../content'; // current directory where the file is
   // $file_to_save = "../Navigation.php"; // the file where to save results in
   $file_to_save = "Navigation.php"; // the file where to save results in
    
    # HTML tempaltes for the links file:
    $header = " <br> <div class='Nav'> <small>\n";
    $footer = " </small></div> <br> ";
    $template = "<a title=\"[TITLE]\" href=\"../content/[FILENAME]\">[TITLE]</a> <br><br> \n";
    
    // ==== CODE SECTION ===================================================
    $links = array(); $d = dir($directory_to_read); while ($fn = $d->read()) if(is_file($fn)) if(eregi("\.php$",$fn)){ $fn = ereg_replace("\.php", '', strtolower($fn)); if(ereg("_", $fn)) $links[]= $fn; } $d->close();
    sort($links);
    $s .= $header;
    foreach($links as $k=>$l){
     $title = ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $l));
     $filename = $l.'.php';
      $t = str_replace('[TITLE]', $title, $template);
      $s.= str_replace('[FILENAME]', $filename, $t);
    }
    $s.= $footer;
    $fp = fopen($file_to_save, "w+"); fwrite($fp, $s); fclose($fp);
}

function_name();

?>

it is supposed to make a menu for the contents of a directory by saving it in a file chmoded to 777. the filename has to be saved like this: This_is_an_example.php and it will show up in the menu as This is an example.

any assistance will be very much appreciated. thanks!

Do you get any error from the script when you execute it?

if not, add the above line to the top of the script and let us know what is the output :

Code:

<?php
 ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

That's just a notice. It should not produce any problem

Anyway after

Code:

function function_name()
{

add this :

Code:

$s = '';

no notices already but its still not generating menu links. i checked the content of the Navigation.php file and this is what it saved, just the header and footre but no menu links:

<br>   <div class='Nav'>   <small>
</small></div>   <br>

I think that this snippet is making a menu only for the php files.

Was there any php file in your directory?

[Philippine Beach Resorts Blog]

they are all php files in the directory.

Then propably that script don't work.

Maybe I should write a tutorial for that job

[Philippine Beach Resorts Blog]

probably youre right.

what do you call a php script that automatically makes a menu out of file names in a directory? i will just search for it on the net?

I don't know, but its ok, it is an easy to develop script.

I will do it and post here later or tomorrow.
