Forgive me if I slip up ... this line from the code example below:
$result_array =a rray();
There should be no space in the word array(); Should look like this:
$result_array = array();
** sorry about that !!
Some other fixes too .... here's the code again:
----------------------------
<snip>
function list_dir($dirname)
{
$result_array = array();
$handle = opendir( $dirname );
while ( $file = readdir( $handle ) )
{
if( $file == '.' || $file == '..' )
continue;
if( is_dir( "$dirname\\$file" ) ) {
list_dir( "$dirname\\$file" ); ## recursion; gets subdirectories
}
else {
$result_array[] = "$dirname\\$file";
}
}
closedir($handle);
return $result_array;
}
</snip>
