I looked everywhere for code that would take multiple text files and do a
simple conversion on them and add them to a webpage. I ended up writing one
myself.

The premise is simple, I needed a way for the monkeys hitting the keys to
easily add to the company webpage news section. Writing HTML was DEFINATELY
out, so I have them create simple text file in windows notepad and save it to a
share drive.

The code looks at the share drive, gets the filenames, reads each file and
formats the text - All on the fly.

NEATO FEATURES:

-Totally self-maintaining: Instantly reads new news on the fly and when the
monkeys want it off the news section, they just delete the text file.
-By using the ls command with -t, it automatically puts the newest news item
first, without a ton of extra code. Also, ls allows you to look at multiple
extensions and directories at the same time.
-It can read from any mounted drive: works with Novell, Samba, NFS, Apple..

text file format (I used):
DEPARTMENT
(space)
TITLE
(space)
NEWS (multiple lines are fine)



-----code-------
<HTML>
<BODY>
<center>
Department News
<br><br><br>
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
<?php
exec( "/bin/ls -t /mnt/novell/EVERYONE/news/*.txt
/mnt/novell/EVERYONE/news/*.TXT",$s);
for ($p=0;$p < count($s);$p++) {
        echo "<TR bgcolor=\"#D0D0D0\"><TD>\n";
        $file = file("$s[$p]");
        for($i=0;$i < count($file);$i++) {
                 if ($i == 0) {
                        echo "<font size=\"+1\">$file[$i]</font><BR>\n";
                        } elseif ($i == 2) {
                        echo "<font size=\"+2\">$file[$i]</font></td></tr><TR
BGCOLOR=\"#E0E0E0\"><td>\n";
                        } else {
                        echo "$file[$i]<BR>\n";
                }
        }
        echo "</td></tr><TR><TD><br></TD></TR>\n";
}
?>
</table></center>
</BODY>
</HTML>
