PHP Script to Generate a Link Directory from HTML files

Here's an example of a

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Link Directory</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.24/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.24/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <h1>Link Directory</h1> <table id="linkTable" class="table"> <thead> <tr> <th>File Name</th> <th>Creation Date</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <?php $directory = './'; // Path to the directory to scan $fileExtensions = ['html']; // File extensions to include // Recursive function to scan directory and subdirectories function scanDirectory($dir) { global $fileExtensions; $htmlFiles = []; $files = scandir($dir); foreach ($files as $file) { if ($file === '.' || $file === '..') { continue; } $filePath = $dir . '/' . $file; if (is_dir($filePath)) { $htmlFiles = array_merge($htmlFiles, scanDirectory($filePath)); } else { $fileExtension = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); if (in_array($fileExtension, $fileExtensions)) { $htmlFiles[] = $filePath; } } } return $htmlFiles; } $htmlFiles = scanDirectory($directory); // Sort files by creation date usort($htmlFiles, function($a, $b) { return filemtime($a) - filemtime($b); }); foreach ($htmlFiles as $file) { $fileName = basename($file); $creationDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', filemtime($file)); $relativePath = ltrim(substr($file, strlen($directory)), '/'); echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><a href="' . $relativePath . '">' . $fileName . '</a></td>'; echo '<td>' . $creationDate . '</td>'; echo '</tr>'; } ?> </tbody> </table> </div> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('#linkTable').DataTable(); }); </script> </body> </html>

Make sure to save this script with a .php extension (e.g., link_directory.php) and place it in the directory where you want to generate the link directory web page. When you open the script in a web browser, it will display a table with links to all .html files in the directory and subdirectories, sorted by creation date. The table is sortable using the DataTables plugin provided by Ajax.
