Reading Files From A Directory

[jeffgman]

I have the following code:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?
$dir = opendir("/Users/jeff/survey/");
while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
        if(is_file($file)) {
                if(!($fileArray = file($file))) {
                        printf("could not open $file file");
                }
                for ($i=0; $i < count ($fileArray); $i++) {
                        print "i: $i";
                        printf("fileArray: %s, $fileArray[$i]");
                }
        } else {
        print "This is not a file, $file";
        }
}
closedir($dir);
?>

But, it does not seem to work. Here is the output of the survey directory:

jefflaptop:~ jeff$ ls -l survey
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 jeff jeff 1665 Sep 7 09:36 survey.txt
jefflaptop:~ jeff$

And, here is the error message I get from that script:

This is not a file, .This is not a file, ..This is not a file, survey.txt

So, it does not think the survey.txt is a file. I am trying to read the contents of the survey.txt file so I can parse the contents and then put some of the data into a database. But, I figured I should work out one issue at a time.

Thanks,
Jeff

For your is_file call stick the path back in: is_file("/Users/jeff/survey/". $file)

$file is only the file name, so is_file is looking for that file in the current working directory. You'll need the full path for it to look at the right file.

Great, thanks for the help. Yes, that fixed the problem, but now I ran into another:

This is not a file, .This is not a file, ..
Warning: file(survey.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/jeff/survey.php on line 6
could not open survey.txt filei: 0
Warning: printf(): Too few arguments in /Users/jeff/survey.php on line 11

Also, how do I make it so it does not try to open up the "." and ".." directories?

Thanks,
Jeff

Okay, I figured out my last problem. Thanks for the help.

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