Formatting A ( While )???

[the-dream]

I have some PHP:

PHP Code:

<?php
$dir = "/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
       while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
           echo $file;
           echo "<br />";
       }
       closedir($dh);
   }
}
?>

It checks all the files in a directory then list each file on a new line.
Is there eny way of formatting each line for example the first line bg is grey the second is white the third is then grey and so on. How is this done???

                      $color = "#999999";
                      $i = 1;
           }
           else {
                      $color = "#CCCCCC";
                      $i = 0;
           }
           echo '<div style="background-color:' . $color . '">' . $file . '</div>';
           // echo "<br />";
       }
       closedir($dh);
   }
}
?>

i have my code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$dir = "/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
       $i = 0;
       while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
           if ($i == 0) { 
                      $color = "#999999";
                      $i = 1;
           }
           else {
                      $color = "#CCCCCC";
                      $i = 0;
           }
           echo '<div class="boxes"><div class="boxes" style="background-color:' . $color . '">' . $file . '</div></div>';
       }
       closedir($dh);
   }
}
?>

and then i want a check box for each one so you could delete the file.
How???

You'll have to have wrap your code with a form and dynamically write out a checkbox with each file:

PHP Code:

echo '<div class="boxes"><div class="boxes" style="background-color:' . $color . '"><input name="del_file" type="checkbox" value="' .$file .'" />' . $file . '</div></div>'; 


This will make an array with the check box values...once you submit the form search to see which files have been checked and use the unlink() to delete them.
