Greetings, Sorry for the delay in responding to your posting, I have been grappling with your suggestion for a while and still things are not working out.
I have included all my code below and seek your advice...... As it stands, the resultant HTML page prints out the content of each file, but it puts it all in the right table row, as opposed to splitting it up for each row(file).....also, my code, when viewed in vim, is all in blue after inserting the $result string you gave me. By taking out the * at the end of your statement, it reverts back to showing things in the proper colours, but the page is blank with the exception of the table formatting.... I have tried a lot of different things with your code but am now ready to start kicking the cat out of frustration. =========================================================================== <?php if ($handle = opendir('logs')) { echo "Directory handle: $handle".'<br>'; echo '<table border="1">' ; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><center><b><font size="3" color="navy">Log Files on '.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'] .'</td></center></b></font>'; echo '<td><center><b><font size="3" color="navy">Created</td></center></b></font>'; echo '</tr>'; { // Loop over the directory ------------------------- while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) echo $file . '<br>'; $result= `grep -n Started logs/*` ; //Take out upper directory pointers ---------------- if ($file != "." and $file != "..") //Start filename insertion-------------------------- { echo '<tr><td><font size="2"><a href="/logs/'.$file.'">' . $file . '</td></font></a>'. '<td>' . $result . '<br>' . '</td>'; } } echo '</tr>'; echo '</table>'; closedir($handle); } ?> ======================================================================================== Thanks for taking the time to assist on this one.
