readdir() problem

rutin

Error:

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource

Hi,

Can you please tell me whats wrong with this code.
It gives me above error.

I iam trying to list files on the server and menaged them, ( delete, move etc)

The directory is CHMOD to 777.
Can you give me a better method to do this ?

Thanks?

Here is the code :

require_once("../classes/auth_class.php");
require_once("../classes/utill_class.php");
include("../classes/clsCheck_$language.php");
require_once(HEADERF);
$path=$path_upload;
$handle=opendir($path);
$dir_size=0;
while ($file = readdir($handle)){	

if($file != "." && $file != ".." ){
	$dir_size+=filesize($path."/".$file);
}
}

if(IsSet($message)){
	$ns -> tablerender("", "<div style=\"text-align:center\"><b>".$message."</b></div>");
}
if(isset($delete)){
	foreach ($f_name as $ff_name){
	@unlink( $path."/".$ff_name);
	}
}
$text .= "<form method=\"post\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\" id=\"frm_add\" name=\"frm_add\">
<table style=\"width:95%\">";

$handle=opendir($path);
while ($file = readdir($handle)){	

if($file != "." && $file != ".." ){

$file_extention = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1));
$file_name=substr($file,0, strrpos($file, "."));
		$text .= "<tr><td>
                    <input name=\"f_name[]\" value=\"$file\" type=\"checkbox\" class=\"tbox\" ></td><td>
					&nbsp;<a href=\"_view_files.php?nFile=".$file."\" target=\"_blank\">".$file."</a> 
					<a href=\"user.php?searchquery=".$file_name."&searchsubmit=1\" target=\"_blank\">".LAN_4."</a> 
                  </td></tr>";
}
}

$text .= "

</td>
</tr>
<tr style=\"vertical-align:top\"> 
<td style=\"width:20%\" ></td>
<td style=\"width:80%\">
<input class=\"button\" type=\"submit\" name=\"delete\" value=\"".LAN_DELETE."\" />

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>";

$ns -> tablerender("<div style=\"text-align:center\">".LAN_201."</div>", $text);
require_once(FOOTERF);

$handle=opendir($path) is failing. you sure that is a valid path?

rutin

the path should be right.

can you show me if this can be done in better way ??

devinemke

the path should be right

i guess the key word here is "should". what exactly is the value of the variable $path?

rutin

Thank you for a quick reply. I am sorry 4 that. I am so stupid.
Must have been of hard work

I havent had a decent slip, since very long time.
Working on this script.

The path is " /files/archive/firm/ "

Can you show me how to implement this path into this script

In a nice matter?

Can you suggest better way ?

Thank you

try
$handle=opendir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $path);

reasoning, opendir uses absolute paths from the server root, not the webroot.
i.e. http://site.com/pages/test != /pages/test
it might require something like /home/username/public_html/pages/test
or on winnt, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\pages\test

and i am guessing /files/archive/firms is a folder on your website, and not in the server root.

That fixed readdir problem, and listed all files on my domain, insted of subdomain.

I setup place on my server ( subdomain ) which i use 4 testing purpose of php scripts. In this case im trying to build document menagement system.

User log in on the site........ At one link he can submitt data using form. In the end of this form there is button 4 upload of document. ( in my case its word doc ).

Now based on the user name and password, that user has entered im trying to make directory on this path "/files/arhives/firm/". only forhimself. Where i would like stored his document.

Messy.
