PHP Help Please :)

Hey Guys,

Trying to get scandir() working and need a little help…

I’m able to get scandir() to work when the $dir is a subdirectory or the current scripts location however im trying to access a folder elsewhere on the server but when I try to locate it using a URL i’m getting errors…

ie:

Script location – http://mysite.com/scripts/getFileNames.php

Directory Location – http://mysite.com/images/thumbnails

<?php
$dir    = 'ResourceImages/Previews/1';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
print_r($files1);
?>

Thanks guys!

You can’t use external URLs with scandir().

Try using the full path on the server to retrieve the files.

Hi Nielsk,

Thanks for that, managed to get it working on localhost with…

<?php

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$dir .= '/SITE-DEBUG/Images/Previews/1';
$files = array_diff(scandir($dir), array('..', '.'));

print_r($files);
?>

No problem You could also use http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php for that by the way
