LiveCode Forums.

Hi, I've made a php page that lists the contents of a dir on our server.
I'd like to get the text (list of files) that appears if you open that page in a browser.
I don't want to open the page with the user's browser. I just need the directory contents.
Get url works with text files but not this.
I could make php write the list to a text file and get that with livecode but I'm hoping there's an easier way.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Steve,

well, that's a one liner:
...
put url "http://www.your_server.com/name_of_web_page.php" into fld "listing"
...



Best

Yeah but Klaus it didn't work
The put/get variable is empty but the page in the browser shows the files.
I'll try again later on today...
Thanks

Hi Steve,
make sure you include the "http://..."
If you can view the results via a browser then this should work for you.

Thanks again Klaus. And Simon. You're right. It's working.
Ok here's my perfect hindsight theory... sat evening (heavy usage period) my satellite internet times out (or I don't give it enough time before I lose patience).
Cheers!
Steve
