readdir

[ralle89]

I need help with the readdir thing. Why wont this script work?

<?
$path = "fest";
$amount = 0;
$dir_handle = @opendir("$path") or die("Unable to open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))
 {
 $files['$amount'] = $file;
 $amount = $amount + 1;
 }
echo "$amount<br>";
$max = 40;
echo "hello<br>";

$cnt = 0;
while ($cnt <= $max)
 {
 $echo "$files['$cnt']<br>";
 $cnt = $cnt + 1;
 }
?>

This line:
$echo "$files['$cnt']<br>";

has a dollar sign in front of "echo". Also, if there's less than forty files, you're going to run out of indexes in the array.

Try something like this instead:

$path = "fest";
$files = array();
$dir_handle = opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))
    $files[] = $file;

$amount = count($files);
echo "Number of files: $amount<br>";

if ($amount < 40)
    $max = $amount;
else
    $max = 40;

echo "hello<br>";

for ($cnt = 0; $cnt < $max; $cnt++)
    echo $files[$cnt], '<br>';

?>
