I have made PHP script which allow user to upload files to the site directory:

<?php
if (isset($_FILES ['documents'])) {
    $errors=array () ;
    $allowed_ext= array ('doc','docx','ppt','pptx','pages','html','xls','xlsx','numbers','pdf');

    $file_name= $_FILES ['documents'] ['name'];
    $file_ext= strtolower(end(explode ('.', $file_name)));
    $file_size= $_FILES ['documents'] ['size'];
    $file_tmp= $_FILES ['documents'] ['tmp_name'];

    
    if (in_array($file_ext, $allowed_ext)  === false) {
        $errors[] ='Extension not allowed';
}

    if ($file_size > 3145728) {
        $errors[] ='file size must be under 3mb';
}
    if (empty($errors)) {
       if  (move_uploaded_file ($file_tmp, 'uploads/'.$file_name)) {
         echo 'File uploaded successfully'; 
       
       } else {
        foreach ($errors as $errors){
        echo $error, '<br/>';
        }
      }
    }
}
?>

I want to create a file browser that will allow users to view and download the files that are uploaded. How do I do this?

using opendir()

example:


<?php
$dir = "/path/to/your/directory/";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
            echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";
        }
        closedir($dh);
    }
}
?>
