How to view files content from a different directory - tonyharden - 03-01-2022
Hi all, I'm trying to create links to the files located in different folder with the below link structure(just for reference):
https://mywebsite/index.php/report/generateList
However, when I click on the link links generated, it shows an error 404 Page Not Found.
The folder in question, is in a completely different location(not within Codeigniter directory). So I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on how I can create the link to view the content of the files when click on it?
Here is my code:
PHP Code:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Report extends CI_Controller {
public function generateList()
{
$directory = "/apps/text_files/";
if (is_dir($directory))
{
if ($opendirectory = opendir($directory))
{
while (($file = readdir($opendirectory)) !== false)
{
echo "<a href='$directory" . "$file'>$file</a>"."<br>";
}
closedir($opendirectory);
}
}
}
}
Thank you in advance!

Can you show us your directory structure?
app
system
public
-- assets
-- index.php
etc;
You can try this:
PHP Code:
$directory = "/apps/text_files/";
// Try this ../ is up one directory
$directory = "apps/text_files/";
