parse data from array

[osusano]

hello there i just need some help dont know why it gave's me an error..

i have 3 files on my folder the filenames are
test1.dat, test2.dat & test3.dat

each .dat file contains a value 09174337421|20030704145800|20030704145801|2311|STATUS PR730 and i have to strip it out from my code

so i did this kind of code

$dir = "c:/server/data";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
      if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && preg_match ("/.DAT/", $file)) { 
         //echo "<a href=\"$dir/$file\" target=\"_blank\">$file</a><br />\n"; 
         $files[] = $file;
      } 
   }
   closedir($handle); 
}

$i = -1;
while ($i != count($files)){
   $handle = fopen ($dir.'/'.$files[$i],"r");
   $i++;
   $row = 1;
   while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, "|")) {
      $num = count ($data);
      $row++;
      for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
         print $data[$c] . "<br>\n";
      }
   }
   fclose ($handle);
}

the error displayed like this

fopen("c:/server/data/", "r") - Permission denied

why it cant read the filenames from files[]?

help pls

b/c readdir return file names only not the complete path

just add the path to the files array

$files[] = $dir . "/" . $file;
