Trouble reading dir

[Anon]

Hi all

I need to read a dir and then see if a file exists of a certain name...not working for me though...

Code below:

---

$handle=opendir("/path/to/images/images/");
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$file = eregi_replace('.jpg','',$file);
echo "<br>file is called $file\n";
if ('homeimage'!=$file){ echo "<br><br>nothing in here!"; }
}
}

---

I am checking to see if a file named homeimage is there but this does not seem to read it at all (i'm actually looking for homeimage.jpg but i strip the file extension off). Any ideas?

Thanks and regards

Darren

You could just use the file_exists() function.

here is my way of doing something like this (i've only included the file part)

---

$directory = "/path/to/images/images/";
$dirhandle = opendir($directory);
while( $filename = readdir($dirhandle) ) {
// this will split up directories and files
$temp = $directory;
$temp .= $filename;
$temp .= '/';
if ( is_dir($temp) ) {
// check to see if directory or not.
// rid of ".." and "."
if ( ($filename != ".") || ($filename != "..") ) {
$dirlist[] = $filename;
}

                 } else if ( !is_dir($filename) ) {
                        if ( ($filename != "..") || ($filename != ".") ) {
                             $filelist[] = $filename;
                        }
                 }

          } // end while

// now we have two arrays, dirlist and filelist
// run through filelist..
while ( (list(,$file) = each($filelist)) ) {
	if ( eregi("homeimage",$file) ) {
		// okay we have a match with homeimage
		echo "Found a match!";
	} else {
		echo "No match was found in this directory!";
	}

hope this could help,

It might not be the problem of the coding. I did not exactly look at the coding for errors, but I'm trying to read directories, and I've run through some problems because readdir sometimes has problems with it. Therefore, it may be the cause of the problem.
