Array problems

bluebeard96

Ok, this is probably something simple, but I just cant figure it out. I'm reading a directory, grabbing file names, and using those filenames to display images.

Simple code:

$srcpath = "images/cars/".$car['carID'];
$dir_handle = @opendir($srcpath);
$photos = array();
if ($dir_handle) {
  while (false !== ($photo = readdir($dir_handle))){
    if($photo!="." && $photo!=".." && strpos($photo,'.txt')===false && strpos($photo,'htaccess')===false){
      $photos[] = $photo;
      }
    }
  }
sort($photos);
print_r($photos);

The problem is the output on my computer vs my web hosting company's server. On my machine, I get this response, which is what I expect...
Array (
[0] => 01_right.jpg
[1] => 02_rear.jpg
[2] => 03_front.jpg )

When I upload the script to my server and run it, the $photo seems to never clear...
Array (
[0] => 01_right.jpg
[1] => 01_right.jpg02_rear.jpg
[2] => 01_right.jpg02_rear.jpg03_front.jpg )

Why is is appearing differently on my computer vs the server? Any idea why the subsequent array values seem to get concatenated?

I'm confused!

How about we start with PHP version differences and OS differences between your development environment and you hosting company's?

Dev PHP version is 5.2.5, Windows Vista running IIS 7.0
Hosting PHP version is 5.2.8, Linux running Apache/2.2.11

I realize there can be differences between versions, just don't know what possible environment setting would change the behavior.

I cannot replicate your exact environment but I have:

WinXP Pro => PHP v.5.2.8
Linux => PHP v. 5.2.0

And get the same results in both environments. Can you try to run the code from the command line and eliminate Apache as a variable?
