5q12's Indexer

A PHP-based directory indexer that provides a web interface for browsing and managing files on a server. The indexer displays directory contents with customizable sorting, filtering, and download capabilities.

Quick Start

1. Download index.php and place it in your desired web directory
2. Configure your web server to serve PHP files
3. Access the indexer through your web browser

The indexer will automatically create necessary directories and download configuration files on first run.

Features

• No Javascript: The custom indexer makes no use of javascript at all
• File Listing: Displays files and directories with size, modification date, and type information
• Sorting: Sort by name, size, date modified, or file type in ascending/descending order
• File Type Configuration: Configurable indexing and viewing rules for different file extensions
• Download Support: Direct file downloads and ZIP archive creation for directories
• Icon System: File type icons with API or local icon support
• Caching: SQLite or JSON-based caching system for improved performance
• Security: Path traversal protection and configurable access controls
• Responsive Design: Mobile-friendly interface with clean styling

Configuration

The indexer uses a JSON configuration system with the following main sections:

Main Settings

• cache_type: Choose between 'sqlite' or 'json' caching
• local_icons: Use local icon files instead of API icons
• disable_api: Disable external API calls for offline operation
• disable_file_downloads: Disable individual file downloads
• disable_folder_downloads: Disable ZIP folder downloads
• index_hidden: Include hidden files and folders in listings
• index_all: Override all exclusion rules and index everything
• deny_list: Comma-separated list of paths to exclude
• allow_list: Comma-separated list of paths to explicitly include

File Type Control

• exclusions: Controls which file types are indexed
• viewable_files: Controls which file types can be viewed in browser vs downloaded

API Integration

The indexer can optionally integrate with an external API for:

• Configuration updates
• Icon management
• Extension mappings
• Stylesheet delivery

When disable_api is set to false, the indexer will attempt to fetch resources from the configured API endpoint.
