opendir

[STooPID]

im working on a upload script and i want it to put out all files that are in a certain directory...

heres the code i got now:

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\">";
if ($admindir = opendir('$path')) {
   while (false !== ($admindir_files = readdir($admindir))) { 
       if ($admindir_files != "." && $admindir_files != "..") { 
           echo "<tr><td>$admindir_files</td><td><a href=\"?id=rename&pass=$pass\">Rename</a></td><td><a href=\"?id=delete&pass=$pass\">Delete</a></td></tr>\n"; 
       } 
   }
   closedir($admindir); 
} 
echo "</table>";

ok $path is set to uploaded..ie:

$path = "uploaded";

uploaded is the folder that the files are uploaded to, but when i want to use that code that i have up there i get the following error:

Warning: opendir($path): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/stoopid/public_html/beta/RSupload/RSupload.php on line 136

but when i replace $path with its value...ie:

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\">";
if ($admindir = opendir('[b]uploaded[/b]')) {
   while (false !== ($admindir_files = readdir($admindir))) { 
       if ($admindir_files != "." && $admindir_files != "..") { 
           echo "<tr><td>$admindir_files</td><td><a href=\"?id=rename&pass=$pass\">Rename</a></td><td><a href=\"?id=delete&pass=$pass\">Delete</a></td></tr>\n"; 
       } 
   }
   closedir($admindir); 
} 
echo "</table>";

it works just fine...but i rather have it do the folder that $path has....can anybody help?

thanks

in

if ($admindir = opendir('$path')) { 

dont enclose $path in single quotes as variable substitution does not take place. either enclose in double quotes or dont use any quotes.
