noting error

[sfullman]

I have a statement:

if($fp=opendir('/mydir')){
//read the directory

}

problem is, sometimes the directory is readable but not openable.

How would I do the folllowing:

1. turn off error outputting beforehand.
2. note that there was an error for reading a particular folder
3. turn on error reporting when I'm done.

Thanks,
Sam

If I understand, you just need error_reporting

<?
error_reporting(0);
if($fp=opendir('/mydir')) { 
    //read the directory 
}
else {
    die("Cannot open directory");
}
?>

Error reporting will default to what is in php.ini. Setting error_reporting(0) at the top of the script will turn off error reporting for this script only.
