I have a record shop written in html and javascript and some php at http://www.trixysvinyl.com

heres the page im working on: http://www.trixysvinyl.com/info1.php?view=tv598

heres the php variable:

$view="tv598"

...which ill read from the URL.

I need some php code that looks to see if the following files are in the sf folder on the server

tv598a1.mp3
tv598a2.mp3
tv598a3.mp3
tv598b1.mp3
tv598b2.mp3
tv598b3.mp3

They will be sound samples ill record and store in the sf folder.

I need some php pcode which will look to see if any of these files exist in the sf folder and then display a link to them on the screen. The user then clicks the link and the web page will open up the mp3 in the default mp3 player and play it.

I guess Ill need a for..next loop for this.

I'm a newbie with php.

Any help appreciated - oh - and a free record from my shop under £10 to the 1st person who gives me a successfull solution!!

Thanks

You could use file_exists($view.'.mp3') to check for... file existance... instead of a loop.

Edit; If you don't want to learn and just need the actual code, you could post a question in the job-searching-part of the forums.

That a look at the glob() function.
