Problem Listing Files in a Directory

[doublewam]

I am trying to use PHP to list the files in a directory on the server. I am trying this on a Windows 2003 Server and the directory I am trying to list the files in has full permissions set (so my problem shouldnt be NTFS permissions related).

The following code does not work and produces a warning...

Warning: opendir(C:!Webs\site\test.php ) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in C:!Webs\site\test.php on line 6

Below is the code I am using. I go this right of the PHP Programming for Windows book.

$directoryinfo = "C:\!Webs\site\pages\files\";

$dirtoread = opendir($directoryinfo); //this is line 6 in my code

while(false !==($info = readdir($dirtoread))) {

print("$info<br>");

}

closedir($dirtoread);

Any help getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

After I get it to list the files in the directory I need to make each filename a hyperlink to the file on the server.

$directoryinfo = "C:\\!Webs\\site\\pages\\files\\";
if (is_dir($directoryinfo)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($directoryinfo)) {
       while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
           echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($directoryinfo . $file) . "\n<br>";
       }
       closedir($dh);
   }
}

Not too sure about the "C:\!Webs" part is that a typo, or should it be "C:\Webs"?

For the lazy man approach to directory listings also take a look at [man]glob[/man]
