cdrom directory listing with opedir() et readdir() on windows 2000

bert

Hi!

I try to use phpmycds on my windows 2000 box to make a database of my cds.

It uses opendir() and readdir() to list the cd's files but I've met some errors that I can't debbug...

I obtain aproximatively this error msg from PHP:

"readdir() argument is not a valid directory ressource"

Is this error there because of the particular file system or mount system of windows 2000?

I ve tried the fonction to list the containt of my hd and it works...

I got php 4.2.2 on apache 1.3.26 and mysql 1.3.23

Any idea? Any way to counter this?

Thx for your help

I have no problem reading data from CD-R.
Test it with this skript, otherwise post your script

<html>
<head>
<title>Explorer</title>
</head>
<body>
<? 
$strSelFolder = stripslashes($folder);

if ($strSelFolder == '') {
    $strSelFolder = "f:/"; // <<<<<< CUSTOMIZE HERE <<<<<<
}
echo "<p>Aktueller Pfad: <b>$strSelFolder</b><P>";

chdir($strSelFolder);
$cdir = dir($strSelFolder);

while ($entry = $cdir->read()) {
   if (!ereg("^.$",$entry)) {
      if (is_dir($entry)) {
         echo "<a href=tree.php?folder=";
         if (ereg("^..$",$entry)) {
			echo urlencode(substr($strSelFolder,0,strrpos($strSelFolder,"/")));
		 } else {
		    echo urlencode($strSelFolder);
		    strlen($strSelFolder)==1 ? $sep= "" : $sep= "/";
		    echo $sep;
		    echo urlencode($entry);
		 }
         echo ">$entry</a>&lt;dir&gt;<br>";
      }
   }
}
$cdir->rewind();
while ($entry = $cdir->read()) {
   if (!is_dir($entry)) {
      echo $entry;
      echo " &lt; ".filesize($entry)." Byte - ";
      echo date("D, j F Y, H:i:s",filemtime($entry))." &gt;";
      echo "<br>";
   }
}
$cdir->close;
?>
</body>
</html>

Also with this script there is no problem ...

<?php 
$handle=opendir ('f:/'); // <<<<<< CUSTOMIZE HERE <<<<<<
while ($file = readdir ($handle)) {
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            print "$file<BR>\n";
    }
}
closedir($handle);
?>

and thanks to your quick reply

I ve tested the scripts you post here and it doesn t work. I got an error msg with both of your script like this:

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in d:\web\public\test2.php on line 3"

concerning the smaller script you post and on line 13 for the longer...

I ve tried to change the drive letter to a hd one, add the @ before the opendir() function to hide errors mesg but it doesn t resolv the problem. I join here my php.ini as php.txt to inform. If you got an idea, it would be great.

Thx by advance

I'm confused 😕
Please try this script, without customizing it

<?php 
$handle=opendir('.');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
    print "$file<BR>\n";
}
closedir($handle);
?>

Please post the errormessage

hmm

exactly the same msg error that the other time:

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in d:\web\public\test3.php on line 3"

I ask myself if it could be a problem due to the fact thet my cdrom reader is quite old and long to be mounted by the system...

I m lost :]

Think i m gonna learn perl, it would be easier 😉

No, it looks like php misconfiguration or a bug - I can't find something at php bug database.

$handle=opendir('.'); opens the active directory, the directory in which the script is stored.

Your installation can't process simplest directory commands, why I don't know. I have really no idea.

Sorry
