Bohemian words

Learning the zend framework. First difficulty was connecting to database. Found the solution by editing the mysql configuration file my.cnf located in the /path/to/lampp/etc/my.cnf
If you face this problem comment the skip-networking line.

I'm working on http://www.corporatekeys.com.au/blog/ website now.

I didn't know that Drupal doesn't follow the object oriented paradigm!

PHP Listing all files in a folder and sub-folders

I was trying to write a php code that lists all files in a folder and sub folders tree.
At first I wrote this one

function printAll($dirName)
{
$handle=opendir($dirName);
while($file=readdir($handle)){
if(is_file($file)){
echo $file;
}
else if(is_dir($file)&&$file!='.' && $file!='..')//for excluding . and .. 
{
$dirName=$dirName.'/'.$file;
chdir($dirName);
printAll($dirName);
}//elseif
}
}
printAll(getcwd());//calling the function 

But it will list only the deepest files in the first subfolder tree.SO I searched php.net and got the solution. all the subfolder will be kept in a array and will be searched recursively. Here is the code

function printAll($dirName)
{
$dirs=array($dirName);
$files=array();
while($dir=array_pop($dirs)){
$handle=opendir($dir);
while($file=readdir($handle)){
if($file!='.' && $file!='..'){
$dest=$dir.'/'.$file;
if(is_file($dest)){
$files[]=$file;
echo $file;
}
else{
$dirs[]=$dest;
}
}
}//end of 1st while
}//end of 2nd while

return $files;
}//end of function

printAll(getcwd());

The function now returns a array containing the name all files in the current folder and subfolders tree.It will print all the file names too. you can easily modify this.
That's it! It was fun.If any function is unknown to you just visit php.net.

The most important part of the css code is:
 
.navigator ul li ul{
display:none;
}
or you can  use
.navigator ul li ul{ 
visibility:hidden;

}
 Then for  hovering

.navigator ul li:hover ul{
display:block;
}

or
.navigator ul li:hover ul{
visibility:visible;
}
