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

Is that a space in the directory path? I think you will have to use opendir() function first. "opendir: Returns a directory handle to be used in subsequent closedir(), readdir(), and rewinddir() calls. " The manual has some good examples. -----Original Message----- From: php-general-return-101104-naintara=del6.vsnl.net.in@lists.php.net [mailto:php-general-return-101104-naintara=del6.vsnl.net.in@lists.php.ne t]On Behalf Of webmaster mbtradingco Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 3:56 PM To: 'Scott Hurring' Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE Hey Scott, that at least helped me to find out what is going wrong. When I use the code as you told me... $fd=readdir("/home/casapu/paginas /image/caterleras/"); if (!$fd) die ("Can't read dir"); It gives me: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/casapu/paginas/mbt/php/dir.php on line 7 Can't read dir So I'm assuming is not accepting the directory. I have checked the permits, and it has all enabled, read, write and executable. I have tried with the final slash, and without it, and so far it keeps giving me that message... any ideas? -----Mensaje original----- De: Scott Hurring [mailto:scott@eacnet.com] Enviado el: Jueves, 06 de Junio de 2002 15:26 Para: 'php-general@lists.php.net' Asunto: RE: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE Instead of chdir() try putting the path directly into readdir(); it'll make the code a tiny bit cleaner. readdir("/home/casapu/paginas/images/carteleras"); ** and check return values! ** $fd = readdir(...) if (!$fd) die("Cannot readdir"); The code you have *should* work, but you'll never know why it's not working if you don't check return statuses --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation ScottH@eac.com Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Wong [mailto:php-general@gremlins.com.hk] > Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 3:44 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Trying to list a directory content HELP PLEASE > > > On Friday 07 June 2002 00:47, webmaster mbtradingco wrote: > > I know my doubt is probable odd, but I would ask your help please. > > > > I need a user to be able to select an image from a directory, from a > > drop down box.
