Hello. I have this little script which I'm working on. I am running under windows and PHP 4.3.0. The problem is that it only functions when $dir is targeted at \web. Any other folder on my Hard Disk and the folders are treated as files. The only ones in bold are "." and "..". \web is the Apache 'root' web folder - does this have anything to do with it? Any help welcome.

Try using backslashes instead of forward slashes. And if you use backslashes with double quotes, remember to escape them!

e.g.

$dir = "c:\web\some\folder";

Thanks diego, but no combination of back/forward slashes and single/double quotes worked.

Any other ideas?

u need to chage to the directory b4 u use opendir() function..

exmaple:

listall("/apache2/htdocs");

function listall($dir_name)
{
   chdir($dir_name);  //change to directory or won't work

   $handle=opendir($dir_name);  // open the direcotry or won't work

   //correct way to loop
   $filearray = Array();
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
   if(($file != '.') && ($file != '..') && !empty ($file)) {

   $filearray[] = $file;
   }}

   return $filearray;

 }
