Opendir not working (windows server)

duffman_09

Hello!

I have a basic gallery script that takes a specified folder that is entered, opens it, and makes a gallery out of the images inside.

Now, the script worked fine locally but when I tried on a Windows server I get this error:

Warning: OpenDir: Invalid argument (errno 22)

I checked PHP.net but there seems to be no answer. Any possible way of getting around this??

Thanks!!

what's the code you're using to call opendir()? Can you post it? Are you trying to access a network or mapped drive? (which won't work if you are)

Here's the code, any yes I think I am accessing a networked drive. Is there any possible workaround?????

Thanks.


if ($handle = opendir($picdir)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
			echo "<td align='center' width=$column_width%>";
			echo "<font face='$font' size='$fontsize' color='$fontcolor'>";
			echo "$fontattribs";
			$size = getimagesize ("$picdir/$file");
			$image_ratio = $size[1] / $size[0];
			$thumb_height = $thumb_width * $image_ratio;
			echo "<a href='$picdir/$file' target='_blank'>";
			echo "<img border=0 src ='$picdir/$file' width='$thumb_width' height='$thumb_height'><br>";
			if ($show_size==1)
			{
				echo "$size[0] x $size[1]<br>"; // shows picture dimensions
			}
			if ($show_filename==1)
			{
				echo "$file";  // shows file name
			}
				echo "</a>";
				echo "</td>";
				$rowcount++;
			if ($rowcount >= $tablecolumns)
			{
				echo "</tr>";
				echo "<tr>";
				$rowcount=0;
			}
        } 
    }
	closedir($handle); 
}

take a look at the comments at www.php.net/opendir

As far as I know, you can't access a network drive. I just skimmed the comments; i'd check there to see if anyone has discovered a workaround.

Good luck!

"I think I am accessing a networked drive" makes me wonder... Are you trying something like opendir("F:\") ??

I guess what I'm asking is, what's the value of $picdir? I think any folder in your web server space should be accessible by something like opendir("/path/to/web/folder/picdir") ; use getcwd() to figure out where your path is relative to.
