searching my website root folder

[flashharry82]

How do I search the contents of my root folder to get a matching word in a file name to a word submitted through a form. I have a form which takes a word into a variable but don't know what function to use to compare it to all the filenames in my root folder. Hope that makes sense.

Thanx

have a form that passes a variable into the following file...

//$searchstr is the string to search for in the file names
$directory = dir('images/directory');
while ($file = $directory->read()) {
    if (eregi($searchstr, $file)) {
            //if the filename contains the search string, output the filename
	echo $file;
    }
}
closedir($imgs->handle);

this should work...

I put that file in but now I'm just gettin a whole pile of

Warning: REG_EMPTY: in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\action3.php on line 11

and

Warning: REG_EMPTY:eempty (sub)expression in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\action3.php on line 11

errors.

Any ideas?

Check the your source directory. It sounds like you are trying to pull from an invalid source.
