My CI application has a folder full of straight HTML files that i would like to give access to the user to open and read in their browser thru a list of direct links to the files.
The list of all files in this directory was gotten by using the get_filenames('path/to/directory/') method from the CI helper['file'] in a controller, then the list of files names was passed to the view. Where I created the links to all the files with the following statement in the view:
Code:
//Generate links to files
echo ('<a href="'. base_url() . 'system/application/stockhtml/' . $filelist[$i] . '">'. $filelist[$i] . '</a><br/>');
Is it safe to create the link to the files in the stockhtml directory the way i have done it above? Or is there a better way to do it? Is exposing the 'system/application' part of the path to the user in the URL bad?
