RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE
Is that a space in the directory path? I think you will have to use opendir() function first. "opendir: Returns a directory handle to be used in subsequent closedir(), readdir(), and rewinddir() calls. " The manual has some good examples. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] t]On Behalf Of webmaster mbtradingco Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 3:56 PM To: 'Scott Hurring' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE Hey Scott, that at least helped me to find out what is going wrong.

RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE
This is not how readdir() works, it takes on a directory resource from opendir() http://www.php.net/readdir I'm guessing you meant to put the directory name into opendir() which will work, I don't see any advantage to using chdir() here. Maybe it's permissions or doesn't exist, consider using a few other functions in there such as is_dir() and file_exists().

[PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE
I know my doubt is probable odd, but I would ask your help please. I need a user to be able to select an image from a directory, from a drop down box. For this I need to list all the images available on the directory, hence, I have this code: ".$f.""); } ?> ."); but this is not working. I have reviewed the code against all the manuals/books I have, and it says it should work but it doesn't. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
