how do i get a list of all the filenames of files in C:\xampp\htdocs\dump\uploads in php varible them get the value of php varible in js
To pass a variable from PHP to JS
First you need to know that PHP is rendered on server side; However JS is executed on client side; So a way to send vars from PHP to JS is using JSON
<!-- In your file of PHP you have: -->
<!-- some code of php to generate variable of all your files... -->
<?php $files = ['dir1','file1.txt','img.jpg']; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- here inside the same file you have your script js -->
<script type="text/javascript">
// call your variable with format JSON
var filesJSON = <?php echo "'".json_encode($files)."'"; ?>;
console.log(JSON.parse(filesJSON)); //['dir1', 'file1.txt', 'img.jpg']
</script>
</body>
</html>
Serverside Read the files.
$files = [];
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {
$files[] = $entry;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
Render the page and echo $files in script tag. like below:
<script type="text/javascript">
const files = JSON.parse(<?php echo "'".json_encode($files)."'"; ?>);
console.log('myFiles', files);
</script>
