RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE

This is not how readdir() works, it takes on a directory resource from opendir() http://www.php.net/readdir I'm guessing you meant to put the directory name into opendir() which will work, I don't see any advantage to using chdir() here. Maybe it's permissions or doesn't exist, consider using a few other functions in there such as is_dir() and file_exists().
