PHP wildcarding

~~Jayso~~ · 12-28-2005, 01:35 AM

ok, i'm modifying this upload script (which currently lets users access anywhere on the site)

So far i have finished the entire script...except one thing..

Is there any way to create a wildcard on the end of a directory to allow access to a directory and any folders beyone it?

PHP Code:


			
if ($directory == 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Web\Apache\Hosting\\'){

Thankyou for any help

* will usually do the trick, see if that works.

Code:

if ($directory == 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Web\Apache\Hosting\*'){

Don't worry i solved this myself:

PHP Code:


			
$findme  = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Web\Apache\Hosting';

    $indir = strpos($directory, $findme);

    if ($indir === false) {
