opendir() error

[Good2CU]

I'm trying to open a directory on my site, to loop through the images.

This code:

$directory = opendir('http://www.site.com/thumbs/');

Generates the following error:

Warning: opendir('http://www.site.com/thumbs/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/admin/copy_thumbs.php on line 4

The documentation at php.net doesn't seem to indicate that you can't use a fully qualified URL, but none of the examples show one either.

I read one thing that said you can't use http with opendir, but I also read something that said a fully qualified URL should work. I've tried just "thumbs", "/thumbs" and "/thumbs/" and many other variations and none work.

Any ideas?

You don't want to use a URL, you want to use a file path. Either relative from where the script is running, or absolute from the filesystem root.
