Directory listing appears with dots, how to remove?

It's not a bug, that's just the way it is.

Every directory has an entry . that represents the current level and .. that represents the previous one:

Ifyoudonotwanttoshowtheseentries,justoneconditionbefore:

if($arquivo!='.'&&$arquivo!='..')

Appliedtoyourwhile(andgivingasimplifiedone):

while($arquivo=$diretorio->read()){if($arquivo!='.'&&$arquivo!='..')echo'<imgclass="mySlides" src="'.$path.$arquivo.'" style="width:100%"> ';
}

As you are dealing with files, you have another interesting output:

while ($arquivo = $diretorio -> read()) {
    if (is_file($pasta.$arquivo))
         echo '<img class="mySlides" src="'.$path.$arquivo.'" style="width:100%"> ';
}

The function is_file returns true for directories only. Just need to adapt the example variable ( $pasta ) to the physical path of the file.

Right here on the site you have another option if you want to list only certain extensions:

  

List files from a folder / directory in PHP

Notes:

• There's no sense in using quotation marks on variants like you did, this is inappropriate:

  ... . "$path" . "$arquivo" . ...
  //    ^     ^   ^        ^        variáveis não precisam de aspas. Aspas fazem o parser
  //                                de string ser invocado desnecessariamente neste caso.
  

• If you are using HTML5, there is no tag closing:

  style="width:100%" /> this is XML / XHTML
  style="width:100%">   this is HTML5

In PHP we also have the SPL class called FileSystemIterator , which uses an iterator to list the directories of a file.

By default, FileSystemiterator comes with a second parameter called FileSysteIterator::SKIP_DOTS .

Method Skeleton:

public __construct ( string $path [, int $flags = FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME | FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO | FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS ] )

This skip dots causes points to be ignored. It is set by default, but you can also pass it by argument if you wish.

See an example:

$iterator = new FileSystemIterator($path, FileSystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);


foreach($iterator as $file) {

    echo '<img class="mySlides" src="' . $path . $file->getFileName(), '" style="width: 100%%">';
}
