readdir from Command Line Input

[joek1010]

Hi! I've been trying to right this script to index pdf files from a directory into a MySQL database for a dynamic site I'm making. I've gotten everything working with MySQL, and reading from the directory, but when I try to make readdir() take input from the command line, I get "supplied argument is not valid" and "Invalid Argument" for dir().

Here's the related code.

    echo "Enter the Directory: ";
    $stdin = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');

$input = fgets($stdin);
$handle = opendir($input);


while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

//and so on

Thanks!

Joe

try echoing $stdin to see what it holds. you might also want to [man]trim/man it to clean it a little.

I figured it out. I used trim() and then put the variable in quotes for opendir() and it worked.

Thanks for the help!
