    <p>I'm creating a intranet for my workplace and have used a bit of php I found online to scan the contents of the folder it's in and display them as links. It does this fine, but when it's inside an empty folder I would like it to display a message such as "There are no records matching those criteria.".</p> <p>Is there a way to add something to the php to specify <em>if there are no folders listed print this</em>?</p> <p>I have next to no knowledge of php, but html and css are no problem.</p> <p>Here's the php I'm using in the page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $dir=opendir("."); $files=array(); while (($file=readdir($dir)) !== false) { if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $file != "A.php") { array_push($files, $file); } } closedir($dir); sort($files); foreach ($files as $file) print "&lt;div class='fileicon'&gt; &lt;a href='$file'&gt; &lt;img src='../../../images/TR-Icon.png'&gt; &lt;p class='filetext'&gt;$file&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you need anymore code such as the full page html or css just let me know.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>After trying Josh's solution it pretty much nailed it, but I'm now getting "No files found" printing 3 times. Here's the code I'm using now:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $dir=opendir("."); $files=array(); while (($file=readdir($dir)) !== false) { if( count($files) == 0 ) { echo '&lt;p&gt;No files found&lt;/p&gt;'; } else { if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $file != "A.php") { array_push($files, $file); } } } closedir($dir); sort($files); foreach ($files as $file) print " &lt;div class='fileicon'&gt; &lt;a href='$file'&gt; &lt;img src='../../../images/TR-Icon.png'&gt; &lt;p class='filetext'&gt;$file&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;"; ?&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
