directory path

PaulaRun

I need to put the correct path in the opendir() function. When I look the directory up on the server, it says:
/ www / images / cardimages / (Current Folder)

So, I put that path in my opendir() code:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir("www/images/cardimages/")) {
    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
    echo "Files:\n";

/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    echo "$file\n";
}

closedir($handle);
}
?>

and I get this error:

Warning: opendir(www/images/cardimages/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/dexter/public_html/listpics.php on line 10

What should I put in the opendir() function???

Got it to work using opendir("./images/cardimages")

Great, Paula 🙂 Just for the sake of knowledge, why don't you try it again just the way you posted the "lookup"....you see, there's a difference between "/www" and "www".

In the paragraph you wrote, you told us the path from the root (/), but when you wrote the code, you left off the root (/), so PHP was, in effect, looking for a "www" folder in the current directory. That's why you got the error....

Thanks for explaining that! I've learned so much from this forum.
