Reading a directory...

[ukndoit]

How can I in PHP open a directory, read all the files, and if they are not a directory then open the file, and add it to a Array, to later print into an email...

Here is how I do it in Perl:

$FirstDirToOpen = 'my_h_2_leads';
#Open initial dir
opendir (DIR, $FirstDirToOpen) or die "Couldn't open $DirToOpen: $!\n";
my @DirList = grep (!/^..?$/, readdir(DIR));
closedir(DIR);
@info = ();
foreach my $DirFile (@DirList) {
if (-d $DirFile) { #If it's a dir
next; # go to the next one...
} else { # Nope it's not a directory.
open(IT,"$FirstDirToOpen/$DirFile");# Open it
@info2 = <IT>;# add it to the array
close(IT); # Close it.
push (@info,@info2); # push it to the main array
}
}
$recipient = '[e-mail]';
$ccrecipient = '[e-mail]';
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "From: $recipient\n";
print MAIL "To: $recipient\n";
print MAIL "CC: $ccrecipient\n";
print MAIL "Importance: high\n";
print MAIL "X-Priority: 1\n";
print MAIL "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Verify and file please!!!\n\n";
print MAIL @_info; # Prin the MAIN array with all the data pushed to it.
close(MAIL); # Close - Mail it!

Can PHP do the same thing?

So this is the second little PErl function I've seen from you now. RTFM on Filesystem Functions

Here is what I found on it, but I keep getting this error:

$FirstDirToOpen = "dir1";
if (is_dir($FirstDirToOpen)) {
if ($dh = opendir($FirstDirToOpen)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (is_dir($file)) {
next;
} else {
$afile = file_get_contents("$file", $use_include_path = 1); // Tried with = 0 too, same results. Don't know what it actually does.
}
echo "$afile";
}
closedir($dh);
}
}

Here is the error I get:

Warning: file_get_contents(02-Sep-03.csv): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ukndoit/public_html/server_test.php on line 19

Warning: file_get_contents(04-Sep-03.csv): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ukndoit/public_html/server_test.php on line 19

Warning: file_get_contents(06-Sep-03.csv): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ukndoit/public_html/server_test.php on line 19

Quite a few more actually.

Can you please help me know where in my problem is?

OOPS. I did it again.

I forgot that $file does not have the path, so I have to open it like this: "$FirstDirToOpen/$file"

That fixed it.
