Ignoring files/paths

[Bellminator]

I am currently working on a downloads page for my website, and I'm having a little trouble..

The current PHP code I'm using to load all the possible downloads is here:

<?php  
  
//define the path as relative  
$path = "./downloads";  
  
//using the opendir function  
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("<b> An error occured while opening $path !</b>");  
  
//running the while loop  
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))   
{  
	if ($file != "../") // <-- My petty attempt to make it ignore some files.
   echo "<img src='../images/icons/drive-download.png' border='0' /><b><a href='http://bellminator.com/downloads/$file'>$file</a></b><br/>";  
}  
  
//closing the directory  
closedir($dir_handle);  
  
?>   

It works well enough, but for some reason it also includes both the index site and the downloads folder as a link.
I was wondering if theres any way to tell it what not to load, such as if ($file == code) or something along those lines.

I'm pretty new to PHP so.. yeah. :frown:

Ugh, just noticed this wasn't in the web programming section. Mods feel free to move it.

<?php  
	  
	//define the path as relative  
	$path = "./downloads/";  
	  
	//using the opendir function  
	$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("<b> An error occured while opening $path !</b>");  
	  
	//running the while loop 
	$arrIgnore = array(".", "..", "index.php", "index.html");
	while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))   
	{  
		if (array_search($file, $arrIgnore) === false) {
			echo "<img src='../images/icons/drive-download.png' style='border: 0px;' /><a href='http://bellminator.com/downloads/" . $file . "' style='font-weight: bold;'>" . $file . "</a><br />";  
		}
	}  
	  
	//closing the directory  
	closedir($dir_handle);  
	  
?>

Just add shit to the $arrIgnore array if more needs to be ignored.

Untested, but should work fine.

Thanks! As far as I can tell it works perfectly.
