John C asked:


For instance, I have the following string:

table:column

I need to get “table” as the result of the php regular expression.

So, I need everything before the “:” symbol

This is somewhat similar to some index pages. When new file or folder is added to the directory, HTML page should display the newly created file/folder together with previous ones after it is being refreshed. (prefer in alphabatical order)

How to achieve this sort of functionality in PHP? Please provide sample coding as well. (and any references)

Thanks.
