date related problem

[bdl]

I've got a server that automatically stores images in a directory like so:

2003/09/04/12/15/

So you have obviously the date string with each component as a seperate directory. The application that takes snapshots and stores images like this has no other method of doing so, AFAIK. The task would be to create dynamic links for the year, month, day, and then ultimately the time. So it might look like this on the page:


2003
-- Sept
-- 4
-- 12:15


With each link having a hierarchy to get back to the starting point. This is something I've not come across before, would appreciate any ideas. TIA.

yikes, that is ugly.

if you are in the main directory i assume that there would be 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003?

can you read the directory's in your current directory and print them up first?

then, chdir into 2003 (or whatever they picked) and read that directory in and print up its results (changing 1 for january, 2 for feb. etc).

then do it for days

and then times?

and do some sort of PWD (dont know the PHP command) to get your current directoy and break apart that string using / and then print up the appropriate links back to the other directories....

hmmm.... sounds like fun

getcwd();

that should return your current directory.
